    The way Lacy blasted through 168 just showed how weak the division was. And still is.

    :smoke YES but his poor power should have given HAGLER the green light to annilate him with the skill these guys are claiming he had ! PAV brings enough power to make HAGLER honest and with his apparent durability and physical attributes would be a very tough fight for anyone including MARVIN !:bbb

    Actually Hearns did hurt Hagler in that first round. But of course Hagler's determination won the day.

    Most here still haven't figured out that they cannot have it both ways. Either Taylor was good, and Pavlik was better OR Taylor was **** and a fraud, and Pavlik has done nothing spectacular or proven anything.

    Mugabi had a better chin and a better punch than Pavlik, and it didn't help him much. Hearns had a better punch, more skill, more size, AND a wider punch variety than Pavlik. It helped him even less. And the reason Hagler didn't KO Vito is that lack of power is NOT the only variable. This is boxing, not rock-em-sock-em robots.

    The guys who gave Hagler problems were smaller slickers, not big sluggers. And slick Pavlik is not.

    Whoa whoa....got up quick and recovered? He got up, survived after being wobbly and dazed for another full minute or so. He was seriously hurt by a guy who is not a huge puncher and is an average finisher. That shot was NOT huge. The shot he hit Taylor with was huge.....

    Umm...I never said he was better. I said he hit harder and had a better chin. Which he did.

    Perhaps you should make your comparison a little more sophisticated than just "Pavlik hits harder". It will avoid Mugabi comparisons.

    Once again, WHO IS THE FIGHTER WITH A JAB, POWER, HEIGHT, AND TWO FISTED ATTACK WHO GAVE MARVIN TROUBLE?

    Taylor apparently can't punch for **** either, seeing as he couldn't KO Spinks.

    I do believe this makes Pavlik a glass-jawed bum, by definition.
