Good point. Taking into account what each has accomplished and where they were at by age 26, it's actually not too different. We have the hindsight to know that Hagler continued to improve and dominate for a half decade afterwards once he became champion; that benefit isn't there with Pavlik yet because the book's still being written. I don't think Pavlik's going to stay at middleweight for longer than 2-3 more fights max, either.
