    Interesting thread. Everything that Virgil did Willie did even better IMHO. He wasn't as consistent as Hill, bur he was faster, both with hands and feet...and could deal with heavyweights better than Hill. I dunno, I might sound a bit biased here ...and I respected Hill, but given that both men were at their best, Hill was a bit pedestrian compared to Pastrano...and I use Willie's performance vs Harold Johnson as an example here...where Pastrano moved, danced and jabbed like greased lightning vs a formidable guy like Johnson all night long.
