    EXCLUDING the Giants, because MOST of them are 2nd or 3rd rate, and the True Best Among them are TOO Big, they aren't HWs, they're S-HWs.

    So How does Williams fair against the Great TRUE HW's... I always thought he was a great boxer and true talent!

    I pick Joe Frazier to brutally KO Jeremy Williams with left hook early. And many others too. Tyson and Holy would KO Jeremy with ease

    Yeah Williams had a great punch but his whiskers would always fail him. He was put on the canvas by average journeyman type fighters like Marion Wilson who were NOT known for punching power. Everton Davis also had him dead to rights, another guy not known as a puncher. I liked him though I saw his entire career as he made his pro debut on ESPN and was trained by Kevin Rooney and promoted by Bill Catyton, they were clearly trying to groom him as the next Tyson. He even seemed to mimic Mike's mannerism especially early on in his career.

    I liked Williams a lot. He was a fan friendly fighter, with lots of power. He always came up short when fighting top ten competition, but still a solid fringe contender that was fun to watch. Isn't he a trainer nowadays?
