Primes: Hagler versus Pavlik?

Actually, I can see Kelly Pavlik pulling this off. He would start out employing his superior boxing skills, bobbing n weaving, sticking n moving, throwing Hagler all types of fits. This would go on with Pavlik virtually untouched for the better part of 8 rounds before he decides to show his true pedigree and change the Marvelous one to the Miserable one with one crushing overhand right that lands with a thud across Hagler's temple sending him sprawling to the canvas, dazed, rendering him unable to beat the 10 count. Pavlik KO8 Hagler.


P.S. Sorry for the super extreme run-on sentence.

 

I agree. If there's one word you can use to describe Pavlik it's "unhittable".

 

A former welter who comfortably bulked up all the way to cruiserweight?

Hagler didn't have much trouble with Hearns--he absorbed everything thrown at him without budging, and proceeded to demolish Tommy. That, and the fact that Pavlik isn't remotely as skilled or precise as Hearns was.

Hey, YOU'RE the one who said Hagler had trouble with two-fisted power, height, and a good left jab. Give me an example of a fight where he had trouble with these. If it isn't the Hearns fight, which is it?

 

Considering that this is already a fantasy fight thread, isn't that point a little irrelevant?

 

Here we go with this BS. Hagler by KO. What's next Hearns

 

Hagler TKO3 Pavlik

 

Hagler would eat the Pavlik that fought Taylor in 3 rounds, Miranda must have been weak (drained) when he fought Pavlik if he couldn't do to Pavlik what Taylor came close to doing in the 2nd.

 

Apparently, Pavlik is better than Hearns because he has a better chin.

 

Pavlik doesn't have the power to stop Hagler. Or even make him wary for that matter. And Hagler had better skills than Pavlik has shown so far, who seems to pop out the jab and come with a right to the head. Even Taylor, who is not a great defensive fighter was countering him last night until he got caught. Hagler would **** Pavlik to the body and stop him in the mid rounds. Pavlik has much to improve upon.

Why are we doing these threads now? Are we gonna match him with Hopkins and Jones too? What about Monzon? Greb?

 

That better have been a joke.

This whole thread better be a joke.

 

:-(

 

It didn't make much sense to me either to pick ONE variable and decide that it's the only important one. It's like picking Carnera to beat Tyson because of his weight advantage.

 

Give it up...Hagler would destroy Pavlik

 

If Carnera had retired instead of fighting Louis many people on here would say that because the majority seems to only take into account the physical factors and the styles.

 

Many skip styles altogether and focus just on size, chin, and power.
