Let's break this down:
Hearns was 6'1'', so is Paul Williams.
Hearns was a welterweight, so was Paul Williams.
Paul Williams at 160 can't even punch as hard as Miguel Cotto at 147. But Hearns at 147 (who is 6'1'') punches harder any guy Pac has ever fought? Are you guys ******ed? Where does Hearns get all this punching power? Punching power comes from strength, angle, and timing.
Does his punches come from angles his opponent can't see like Pac? No he was a standard boxer.
Does he have good timing? Sure, I'll give him that. There's a reason he has all those wins.
Does he have strength? Decent, but he can't have much more than Paul Williams (at least at Welterweight). It's physically impossible. Where does Hearns pack more muscle in that 6'1'' frame, WHILE still make 147? He can't. His punches can't be as fast or as hard as Pac's at 147. Pac would obviously get killed by tall guys at higher weight classes, but no way a tall, skinny, chinny, WW like Hearns can KO Pac. It's much more likely that guys like Cotto and Clottey punches harder than a WW Hearns.
Verdict: Pac UD/TKOLast edited by qwerty07; 07-10-2010, 07:58 PM.

And, Hearns was chinny at 147? What evidence to you have? The Ray Leonard fight? Who else KO'd Hearns at 147?

the difference in size and power are too drastic. hearns by ko. if hearns hits any of today's welters with that right hand, its lights out. mayweather survived mosely's he wouldnt survive hearns'. i said it b4 n ill say it again, manny would never have moved up to welter if he was fightin as the same time as hearns and the others. the ww division was literally murderers row.
