Paul Williams' 82 inch reach is too long for anyone out there.

[DaxxKahn]

Answer to Daxkahn: No, he is more of a stylest. Tommy was a bomber. There are few who could ever fight like Tommy and I never would say PW could, but give him time, and he could be the future. I believe he would starch Magaraito who gets way too much credit for his very ordinary skills. Cotto and PW would be a fight for the ages with thier opposte styles.

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

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.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Its embarassing that he was labled as the next Hearns.

Now THAT IS overrated!

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.

Dont think i ever recall Tommy administering the kiss of Death on his opponent before icing them though

No Tommy would just dispose of them and walk away so someone else could clean his mess off the canvas..... ................When Tommy won it was exciting...When Tommy lost it was exciting

i am former none pro boxer now 35 and back to my fighting weight of 17 lbs and i am 6'3 and reach of 85 inches is this good lol ?

[Wayne]

Hell, Wlad's is 81 and Tommy Hearns had a reach of 78. Williams fights from the outside punishing his opponents with savage jabs and setting them up for the finishing straight shot down the pipe. He gets better with each fight. He just may be the most compelling fighter in his weight class.

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.

[tedsares]

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!

[tedsares]

Thanks for the link!

[Majesty]

Just because he's 30 and 0 doesn't mean he's flawless

What does it mean?
[/quote]

It means he hasn't fought anyone that could take advantages of his weaknesses enough to beat him.

[tedsares]

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.

[tedsares]
