Yes he can be up there. I see Hopkins as better than him. I think Pavlik is a way harder puncher. A way better boxer. Knows how to control the ring better. He is more adaptive. He is a hell of allot meaner. He has a better chin. He beat the boxer in the rematch by boxing. He beat the living shit out of the most feared middle weight in the world and took him on the chin numerous times and never really was hurt. Pavlik has the making of the next Hagler. He has the power. He has the skill and the chin.And he has the conditioning. But the most important thing is his will and his drive to succeed. All of that together makes a great champion if not a legend like his predecessors.
