Definitely Hill, and I dont think it would be close. Hill had an excellent chin, so there goes Stevenson's only chance. Hill would paint him with the jab all night. I dont consider them on the same LWH tier. Hill was a higher level guy.
Yeah id also go with hill. As you said he had a solid chin so he should be able to take the few bombs that would get through, and his jabs would torture stevenson. The only saving grace for stevenson is that del valle landed a.lot of left hands against hill, so maybe he had trouble against sp
amazing there were ever virgil hill fans. guy has to be one of the most boring fighter top fighters ever.
I don't think there were Virgil Hill fans outside of Dakota. I've certainly never seen a poster who was a Hill fan. No, his style was not pretty, but it was very effective. He was far from a Spinks, Foster, Charles level guy, but he was a higher level than Stevenson. We've been discussing Froch all day, and I think Hill would have outboxed Froch.
Hill was essentially a less talented John Conteh. He had a better chin than Conteh, but Conteh was better at everything less.
If he was at a higher level than stevenson, it was marginally. Stevenson would have never lost to that version of hearns. And.yes, hill probably outboxes froch
