    Don't know if this has been done before but what do y'all think?

    I think this is a toss up fight given both guys punching power and abilities.

    Hearns def. had more skills than Kelly, but Kelly has a better chin and stamina. And We all know both guys can punch.


    Hearns has more options

    If Hearns doesn't stop Kelly by mid rounds, I think Kelly might get to him late.

    Hearns doesn't have a chin. Pavlik would KO him.

    Hearns - boxes until he's ready to punch. 8 rounds maybe.

    So you are saying Hearns will stop Kelly? Quite Possible, but I think if he was going to stop Kelly, it would be earlier.

    Possibly, but if Hearns sticks to his boxing - lazer guided accuracy, great speed, good jab, tall and long - Pavlik won't get near him, frankly.

    This is not unreasonable, but it calls for a brawl, which may not be the wisest thing Hearns could do...

    Hearns. He'd dance, snap the jab, make Pavlik miss and look awkward, and then take him out, probably in 2.

    This was made in the classic forum.
    As I pointed out there, Pavlik would not be able to outjab Hearns like he has done to all of his opponents thus far, and how he would react to being outjabbed, outboxed.. one can only imagine.
    However, the longer the fight goes, the more advantages turns out for Kelly... as he's a smother/puncher.

    Hearns could K.O Pavlik, and Pavlik could K.O Hearns, however.. if it gets past six rounds, Pavlik will probably prevail.

    exactly! Hearns wil not be able to stop kelly early due to kellys size strength and determination. If he cant stop him early no way he wins. Hearns may be ahead on points but he wouldl get stoped late.

    with all due respect, if jermaine "powderpuff" taylor can put pavlik on ***** street and have him staggering about the ring like a drunk in glasgow town centre on a saturday night, you bet your arse that tommy could toast him.
