I know you weren't for some reason everytime I hear Paul Williams and Tommy Hearns mention in the Same paragraph I can't help but to say something about it...

That's a compliment for PW

Re: Paul Williams' 82 inch reach is too long for anyone out there.
Comparisons between Hearns and PW can only be maid on dimensions. Hearns was a unique kind of fighter. If I had to compare one of today's fighters, it would be the guy who iced Yousef Mackl. I believe his name is Naco Berrios and he is from Columbia.He swings with the same snap as Tommy did and has the same kind of one-punch power.

Who has done that?
No one here, if thats what you mean...
Actually worse, professional writers in boxing mags (Boxing Monthly/ News/ Weekly etc).
I f read on a number of occasions (Pre Shamba) that he was touted as the next Hearns.
I also heard Jim Watt refer to this during the Mayweather-Baldomir Build up, fortunately it was in a tottaly different light. ::**
I dont wanna make a big thing out of calling PW overratted but its just funny cause i couldn't think of any overrated fighters a while ago.

Williams too often gives up his reach advantage willingly to get inside and bang. He will continue to do so until the shorter-armed man catches him with a hook that leaves him standing up at the count of 11. If Sharmba Mitchell had had power he would have been reeling from those 3 left hooks in a row.
Re: Paul Williams' 82 inch reach is too long for anyone out there.
The round that Naco did the kissing in will go down in infamy for what the referee did as well. I'll let you find out for yourself, but I wrote an article about it. Unreal. Hey, maybe it's a Columbian thang!

Thanks for the link! ;D :D :D :D ;)

It means he hasn't fought anyone that could take advantages of his weaknesses enough to beat him.
Re: Paul Williams' 82 inch reach is too long for anyone out there.
Well, I always thought the name of the game was whose hand the ref raised at the end of the fight.In PW's case, he did it 30 times. That's a fact. Anything else is speculation. We will see what happens in the future, buy I believe this kid has the goods to keep on winning Still, I respect your viewpoint.
