People forget that, apart from one centimetre in height, Pac was bigger than Hatton in nearly every aspect and his general tale of the tape is the same as Duran. Pac's weigh in weights ie fighting at 122, 126 and 130 while weighing in as a welterweight is where he would have actually had to fight back in the era of fight day weigh ins, or come in severely weight drained. He's a big solid dude, not this midget everyone keeps talking about.

Not only that, but Oscar doesn't really compare to Hagler. The only guy that does today is Hopkins funnily enough. But Hopkins is more of a natural LHW so I don't agree either.
It's very hard to imagine Pac fighting Hagler, but that's what it would be like. Just a fat version of Pac.
Anyway, doesn't really matter.
