    Of course the Jonas Brothers can't be another Beatles. The boy bands of the 60's simply outclass the boy bands of today and are on a completely higher level. It's embarrassing to even mention they get the same gold record for selling albums. Boy bands were just tougher back in those days.

    The difference in chin may be the difference.

    Nope -- there isn't enough competition at 160 to keep him there. I think he will ultimtely have more of a legacy at 168. That's where he'll probably spend most of his prime. At the end of his career he'll be at 175 where he will win a major title, but suffer some losses. We'll probably remember him as a solid 3 division champion, and hall of fame level fighter, but not an ATG. That's my best guess.

    No kidding.... The Beatles were an all star lineup of multiple all time great musicians. George Harrison, John Lennon alone are two legends that both had amazing careers even outside of being the one of the greatest bands ever.... Who the hell are the Jonas brothers anyway?:lol:

    No chance. Pavlik is overhyped and overrated. Should have lost to JT the first time and only just beat a weakened version of him the second time. Hagler dominated a very good division for years, showing few or no flaws. He was marvellous. Pavlik is average in comparison

    in a word NO...they're stylistically worlds apart and hagler was a more complete fighter than pavlik who seems to be slightly one paced and one dimensional

    Hagler also has better competition at the end of the day.

    They'll both go down as great fighters, the difference being about 50 or so spots between them on the ATG list.

    According to and interview he did last month in the Ring, he wants to retire in 4 more fights, so he's going to have nowhere near the time to build up the same kind of legacy, if he actually goes through with it.
