Since everyone around wants to act like Williams is the new Hearns, what would happen if he actually did fight Hearns? Here's my analysis. Both fighters come out flicking their jabs, Williams drops his left hand slightly and Hearns crushes him with an overhand right; dropping Williams like a sack of potatoes. Hearns wins, KO round 1. Thoughts?

Mabye not KO1.

But Tommy Hearns would destroy Paul Williams, Hearns KO 3.

As much as I like Paul Williams, he'd be open for one of Tommy's right hand straights. That punch was one of the most devastating shots in boxing history...if any remembers Hearns/Duran, that shot destroyed Duran, and he actually had a concrete jaw.

Yea Paul gets hit too much and against a puncher like Hearns I don't think the fight would end well for Paul. I'm not picking Hearns just because he is a retired legend, I'm picking him based off of my analysis. Hearns KO 2.

Hearns KO 1, I agree.

Williams' average chin is going to be shown to the world soon anyway.

The campaign to now smear Paul Williams?:lol:

I'm not sure who or what said that Williams is superior to Hearns but thats ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.:nono Hearns RIGHT HAND was unlike anything seen at 47 in like FOREVER:yikes If his chin had matched his right, he would have been a real LIFE SUPER HERO.:scaredas:

There are SIMILARITIES though, in that both are TALL BOXERS. Not too many come a long with their builds and have enough of what it takes to rise to the top in this business.

Floyd doesnt wanna have to face a tall, rangy southpaw, with ability, volume, and great stamina. It's one ofhis nightmares, he might shit his shorts on the way to the ring.:D

Now bring down the Undefeated Thomas Heans at 147:rofl Hey......Damn....somebody catch Floyd..... Floyd COME BACK, COME BACK........:bolt :bolt :bolt :bolt :bolt :bolt :bolt

Hearns by murder.

I also thought Williams was a new Hearns, but then I saw his performance against Margarito. He doesn't fight like Hearns.

Williams isn't ready for Hearns so this thread shouldn't be applicable until we see a prime Williams.

BUT....

Hearns would likely win, but some of ya'll are underestimating Williams. The guy doesn't just throw 100 punches a round, he's also a master boxer.

Look at the way he handled Margarito. Everytime Margarito got close, Williams would hook and spin.

He has great footwork, and stamina that is out of this world. He's an alien in that department.

He just needs work on when to place his powershots, but yeah, Hearns likely had the style to beat him, but that's not to say Hearn's was invincible, and in my opinion, and as we will soon see, there will be few welterweights in history that will be capable of beating Williams.

Hearns would beat Williams, but that doesn't mean Paul is a chump. He rose to the occasion against Maragrito, and showed he DOES have pretty sturdy whiskers.If he gets his chance against Cotto and Floyd, he might surprise again.Miguel and Mayweather certainly aren't looking to tangle with Williams voluntarily.They know he'd be a tough nut to crack.Who knows, in a few years Williams might be the man, he has potential , thats for sure.

It would be up to Hearns how he wanted to beat Paul. By outboxing him or KOing him. If hearns needed the work...or if he didn't. Uber easy fight for Hearns.

The only way to beat a prime Hearns was to KO him.
He could crush you or outbox you.

Williams has neither the boxing skill to outbox Hearns (If Leonard couldn't do it
what chance would Williams have!) and he certainly doesn't have the power to worry Hearns.
Hearns ends this quick, before Rd 5.


PS. Hearns would fucking own the entire WW division if he were around today.

Hopefully "Bigvickfan" and "Pirlo" are joking.

The only bets worth taking on this fight would be which round the hitman knocks him cold and how many minutes it takes Williams to wake up.

The difference is in there boxing skills. Hearns wasn't just some puncher, he was a boxer/puncher. Hearns boxing skills>>>>>>>>>>Williams. On top of that he had more power, his jab is 10X better, and he didn't lack any defensive liabilities like Paul Williams does. The point is Hearns was a more polished boxer. There is hardly any technical flaws in style, while Williams has plenty to improve upon.

Hearns in his prime was just way more of a mature and stronger fighter than Williams is now. Tommy moves better, hits harder, and is more versatile. Not even a contest.

Although I do agree that Williams is a great prospect and his skills can be developed into something great years down the road but he would get flattened by the motor city cobra.

A "master boxer" who won a close fight over Margarito. Hearns would knock Margarito clean out, and Paul Williams comes no where close to winning a decision over Hearns.

Close poll, by the way.

Hearns by KO. This is an easy one. Not many people can handle Williams at this stage in the WW division due to his physical dimensions and style, but Hearns is one who matches him physically but easily surpasses him skill-wise.

Amsterdam's point about Williams chin didn't make much sense to me though. Everyone can be stunned, he has never been dropped or significantly hurt I don't believe.

There is a way that Williams could beat Hearns at WW, but it involves a voodoo doll and a sledge hammer as a backup plan. Hearns of course will have his own sledgehammer, he just happens to call it a straight right hand.

Bit extreme. Id say Hearns KO 4. Hearns will be made to work a bit on the 1st few rounds and although he would land some shots, highly unlikely he would land that bomb on the 1st. Eventually Williams will make a mistake sooner than later that will find him on the receiving end of one of the most powerful right hand (p4p) in boxing history.
