Pavlik vs prime Hearns or prime Hagler at 160

Well....he'd have a chance against Hearns....but my thinking is Hearns' bombs him out early. If Pavlik can withstand that (doubtful seeing how Taylor hurt him) then he has a chance to take Tommy into the trenches and stop him. However, if Hearns boxes Pavlik then The Ghost doesn't stand a chance.

Don't see anything in Pavlik that makes me think he could deal with Hagler.

Hearns and Hagler both KO Pavlik. When will people realise he's a pretty ordinary fighter with only one dimension? Okay, he does what he does well, but Hearns would simply use his speed and movement to dance around him tagging him with that rapier jab and those big rights at will. Pavlik doesn't have the speed nor defense to cope.

Hagler would lose a couple of rounds maybe due to workrate, but he'd eventually start walking through Pavlik and bomb him out of there. He loses both fights and I dare say wouldn't even be competative in either. I like Kelly, he's a nice kid with a great work ethic, but these are elite ATG's for a damn good reason.

Kelly is young though, lets see how/if he develops.

 

:yep Yep. End of thread.

 

Hagler in his prime would kill ANYBODY around jr middlweight-middleweight-supermiddleweight, except Roy Jones.

I can already read "Leonard beat him" but he was not in his prime, and was not hungry the way he was back in the early 80's.

So pavlik would get killed and wouldn't win a single round, hagler would simply outclass him.

Calzaghe would get killed too. The only thing I see why he's undefeated is the fact that he is a southpaw throwing a lot of (unfinished) punches, which makes him a very awkward fighter to deal with.

 

Hagler would walk over the dead body of Pavlik.No chance not even close.I dont see him bomb a prime hearns either.

 

I agree with this

 

Yeah and probably during the opening instructions!

 

Can you imagine what someone Like jake Lamotta would do to him?

 

Both would beat Pavlik by brutal ko's

 

I know Hearns hit ****ing hard, but Hearns did have a suspect chin as well so it would be interesting to see how he handles Pavlik's power. I just think Hearns had too much movement for Kelly to land anything meaningful on Hearns. Tommy should be able to get Kelly out of there in about 7 rounds or so. Hagler just walks thru Kelly.

 

I like Pavlik but he gets soundly beaten by either of these ATGs. Hearns would tee off on the straight ahead Pavlik, and The Marvelous One would box circles around him with all the angles, and alternating between orthodox and southpaw stances.

 

hearns early ko in a hagler/hearns style fight
hagler punishes him real bad with his strength and determination and walks him down for 6-9 rounds
