Who's better: Prime Hearns or Paul Williams?

Williams is Hearns with a Iron Chin

Flawless...don't get crazy in here

There is NOTHING Paul can do better then Hearns...Plain and simple.

For me, Williams has a way to go before he can be considered as good as Hearns. The Hitman is an ATG, Williams hasn't done anything that approaches greatness. Yet. Time will tell, but he is certainly a talented guy and I wouldn't rule out the idea of him one day being regarded as highly as Hearns.

But Kellerman has Williams ruling 3 or 4 divisions already. Anyway, Hearns was a better boxer, had a better jab, a lot more power, etc. You could say Williams has a better chin, but he gets hit way more than Hearns did, and hasn't faced anywhere near the competition.

There is a physical similiarity between Paul Williams and Tommy Hearns. Max Kellerman mentioned it with a comparison last night. Is Paul Williams in the class of the prime Tommy Hit Man Hearns?

IMO, Paul has shown alot of potential. He's has a physical advantage over almost all his opponents thus far. He may end up dominating a division. I give him all that. But, I don't see the re-emergence of Hearns, yet. IMO, Hearns was faster and had more power than Williams.

If you even have to ask...

The American media are desperate for a star of their own right now, and are going to hype up Williams like they did with Pavlik. I agree Williams gets hit too much and like I said, he hasn't done anything that gets him even close to being on a par with Hearns. I just think he has the potential to go a long way.
