If you don't belive my theory look how Hearns boxed the first 13 rounds against Leonard.
I think Hearns was smarter though, and would use his reach better at times, especially if he needed to. Plus he was just more skilled, better balance, etc, just a better boxer than Williams.

But he could get better at things like that, power on the other hand, I don't think Williams has anywhere near Hearns' power. Not even in the same ballpark, just not even comparable.

I see the comparison between the two boiling down to mainly just the size, other than that I dont' see them as similar fighters.

And as to TitoFan's post, I would be shocked if he stopped Margarito in less than six. I wouldn't be shocked that much if he won, but I don't see him stopping him early.
