You can't really make a comparison like that. Carbon nanotubes are the "strongest" materials as far as tensile strength and elastic modulus go, but they're presently only used on a nano-scale. I would not call them "hard" like you would diamonds.
Do some investigation! You'll find a lot of information by googling or checking out a book from the library. Hell, go ahead and use wikipedia for some fast information. I'm sure there's a lot of information out there about the "strength" of fullerenes.
