I'd give the edge to Loughran on the basis of his greater consistancy and the quality of his opponents...but just barely,as VH was no slouch himself.
This. Hill had a good jab and left hook, but not much else. Hill also had a bad habit of fading in the later rounds when he fought against good competition. It wouldn’t take long for a ring master like Loughran to see that Hill has no right hand. Hill would get a boxing lesson.
Loughran is more than several leagues above Hearns at 175, he's in a different ****ing sport. And we saw what Tommy did with Hill. Loughran, at his peak, wins a wide UD every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Hill is getting sold short here based on somebodys name. Tommy didnt have a righthand either or any power. It would be a battle of jabs and movement which Hill had a very good jab and also a sneaky hook. I could see Hill winning and would favor him. When he trained with Fenechs trainer he looked great- aggressive behind a hard jab mixing in body shots. Always wondered why he stopped training with him.
Totally agree. And when it comes to Tommy Loughran, I don't see the same things that other people see, apparently.
