IMO Hearns by UD.

What your opinions?

Hearns would outbox him

Feels like Tommy H all the way.....but if Pavlik got an opening then he often made things happen for himself.
The Hitman would need to be careful; actually a way better fight if neither guy followed that approach!

Hearns would either outbox Kelly or he'd get caught and knocked out. If both at their best at the weight, my gut tells me Pavlik knocks him out.

Hearns you could always count on to come in at his best pretty much. Pavlik obviously not so much as his career went on.

This.

Tommy more likely to knock Kelly out than the other way around.

Which of these guys was sparked by Barkley and couldn't survive 3 rounds with Hagler?

Based on what!?

Tommy has the reach and speed advantage.

Tommy wins by decision is defo the most likely. Pavlik could knock him out if landing a lot, but I think Kelly was too slow and methodical to get through enough and make Tommy uncomfortable. Tommy would control most of it.

Based on bigger power, speed and skill.

Kelly was straight forward double jab right hand. A good quick smaller guy like martinez gave him fits
