    a williams with a brain cell....no one fights him.
    Yeah, I avoid motorcycles because of **** like that. He could have done a lot more. GGG-Williams would have been very interesting....

      You have to favor Hearns. However if any of the half decent fighters of recent times land on his glass chin its over.

      guys like floyd, thurman, crawford, danny garcia etc would all get cut down very easily.

      guys like maidana manny matthyse spence would all have a shot at koing him.

      a prime margarito would overwhelm him with ease.
      and a prime cintron would do this to him



      Sergio Martinez would have murdered him to.

        unfortunately, pw would have served himself to 3g. pw ''game plan'' was to be counter punched. porter is a shorter version.

        why cant fluid aggression be taught

          No he would not own the ring among today’s best, just like the best racecar from the 80’s would get destroyed by the best modern one on any track. Diet, and science and training techniques are also behind today’s best fighters.

            Yeah i think GGG would break him down, but PW would push him hard. Would have some good moments.

              His height and reach would have caused tons of problems

              From little ive seen i would guess he would be the number 1 welter today

                  well considering hes an all time great and spence and crawford have pretty much beaten noone at 147 (save for brook coming down in weight after getting demolished by ggg) i think youd have to favour hearns

                    Thurman would run time big time.

                    Spence would give him a fight early on, but the Hitman catches him mid-rounds for the KO most likely.

                    TC's great but just not big enough.

                    Swift gets taken early.

                    Porter runs straight in, making it difficult for a bit but Tommy breaks him by 8.

                      spence probably gives him the most trouble.

                      but............




                      how can we forget BRONER, DOE ?!?!?!?

                      and we call ourselves boxing fans
