Los Angeles, – The comparisons are almost unavoidable. Standing a strong and lanky 6-foot-1 and 147 pounds with knockout power in both hands, unbeaten Paul Williams (29-0, 21 KOs) is being viewed by many as boxing’s next Thomas Hearns. [details]

Every tall, semi-powerful guy is compared to Hearns.
Every tall, lean guy is told by people in the gym "You should fight like Tommy Hearns". No ****, if someone could fight like Thomas Hearns....don't you think they would ?
Paul Williams will never reach Hearns' level. He's tall.....he's decent.....end of comparison. -

Yes....a # of times.
I've seen plenty of Hearns fights.
Williams is no Thomas Hearns. Williams is good, yes.......but it's not even fair to him to compare him to Hearns.Last edited by jabsRstiff; 05-26-2006, 12:56 PM.Comment

Fair play...Do you think this guy could beat Margarito though? He said that Margarito was saying no one is willing to fight him...he said he is willing to fight Tony.Originally posted by jabsRstiffYes....a # of times.

He is a tall Welter with some skills, what do you think?Comment

He could possibly beat Maragrito. Margarito may be made to order for a tall, quick, lefty like Williams.
At the same time, Williams won't have the big height advantage over A.M. that he does everyone else.
Don't know if Paul is built tough enough to take what A.M. dishes- power & pressure-wise.Comment
