Who's better: Prime Hearns or Paul Williams?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Havent you heard........Paul Williams is Hearns, Chavez AND Whitaker combined!!

[El Dominicano]

he's better at takin a punch

Yes but Hearns having a bad chin came from what fights? He got K.O'd in the championship rounds against SRL...

Who has Paul faced that hits harder then Leonard? Duran? Hagler?

Also take into consideration that the Hagler vs Hearns fight was a WAR! Both fighters left there defense at home that night...Someone was gonna get stopped.

Hearns chin ain't as bad as you people think. Plus Hearns is a GREAT boxer. He could have simply outboxed Hagler, Duran, SRL, Iran...but didn't.

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..

Think that pretty much sums it up.

Although Williams is a damn sight better than Pavlik and he might actually do some great things.

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.

The size similarities are obvious, if that's all Max meant then he's right. Skill wise, there is no comparison, Hearns was a better boxer, hands were a lot faster than Williams and the power was more potent. Paul Williams is good, but no where near Hearns league.

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.

Oh he's definitely got potential and seems to have improved even since the first Quintana fight. But sometimes when you overhype fighters, they start to believe it to their detriment. Like Pavlik, or Cotto.

Comparing the two, lmao.

There is a similarity between Max Kellerman and Flawless: they both want to perform fellatio on Paul Williams.

The three votes for Williams are Flawless and his two alts! No one else would be so ******.

This is a joke thread. Hearns is a legend.

Co sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Williams is good, but anyone who thinks he's better than Hearns is nuts. End of story.
