How Do You Rate Roy Jones Win Over Virgil Hill?

general is one up.

 

Bodhi's agenda while pretending to be impartial exposed again

 

I guess you are working for the sun. :thumbsup

 

And what is this supposed to mean other than that most people on here are ignorant?

 

Hill looked washed up vs. Michalczewski. Michalczewski may have gotten away with some "rough" tactics but I didn't think the fight was close at all. In all honesty I think Hill was really having a hard time making LHW at this point.

Hill beat Maske by SD about 7 months before facing Michalczeski. That should have been his last fight at LHW.

Hill lost to Michalczewski then about a year later he fought Jones. It was a non-title fight and Hill wasn't considered much of a threat at this point.

Hill's next fight was at CW (6 1/2 months later) and he never fought at LHW again. He did pretty well at CW.

I don't give Jones too much credit for this win. With that said, I thought Hill fought pretty well up until the KO. The body shot was very good... maybe he could have landed it vs. a prime Hill, maybe not? Maybe he could have landed it vs. a non weight-drained CW version of Hill, maybe not? If they fought 10 more times Jones probably wouldn't have landed that shot again... but it was a good shot.

Prime vs. prime? Who knows? Hill has a legit chance though.

 

I will never forget that vicious body punch he put Hill down with.

 

A great win.

 

Terrific example of Jones prowess, in addition to great win.

To place a rib-breaking killshot on a boxer of Hills calibre and follow through with landing it is incredible.

 

Jones was a far better fighter and light heavyweight than Hill, period ... Hills was a non-threatening style for Jones as he was a one armed guy with little power ... still, Hill has talented, tough and had heart ... I think the KO was a fluke and if they fought another ten times Jones wins all by decision ..
