    If pavlik retired tomorrow, which one has had the better career?

    I think it's close, both reasonably 1-dimensional fighters, made the most with what they had, both were the lineal champ, both struggled when they fought the very best and when they moved up weight

    Niether option is "easily" better than the other. Their careers, peaks and valleys, are very similar. The only major difference is Pavlik lost to two fighters he was expected to beat, while hattons losses were expected to be competitive.

    The question itself is flawed. Hatton lost to PBF and Pac. Pavlik lost to a featherfisted junior middleweight who flops around the ring making mistakes.

    Hatton lost to 2 all time greats at the peak of their powers.

    Pavlik lost to a relevant, but aging Hopkins, and a very good LMW veteran, coming off a defeat.

    It's not close, atleast not now.

    Ricky Hatton, beat Kostya Tszyu, lets not forget that in starting these threads.

    Hatton, but Pavlik has a long way to go in his career. I would still favour him over many of the top contenders in the 160lb division if he's mentally in the right frame of mind.

    I think Hatton is a top 15 ATG fighter. Pavlik isn't even in the top 100.

    Hatton is manifestly not a Top 15 ATG fighter. In fact, he's no where near it. End of story.
