    Virgil would have been destroyed by the prime Qwai. It is not even a competitive match up.

    Right because Qwai would be able to catch a mobile Hill like he did Spinks who while the greater boxer then Hill didnt have the movement of a prime Hill
    Hill wins because he understood his limitations and used them to become his strength.
    Qwai is more skillful of course but he isnt catching Hill.

    Ne'er a truer word spoken than in jest, Cloud. Marciano divides this board like few others and I'm in the camp that didn't see a whole lot wrong with what you said.

    Lennox Lewis's career.

    Didn't fight any elite fighter in their primes.

    Virgil was solid and had good legs. I am not sure. That is a fight which Virgil could win with his style.

    He did beat every opponent he ever faced. PLUS he made Blowe dump the belt rather than face him.

    That’s okay, you just go on rewatching Tyson fights from 85 to 89.

    Camacho vs Leonard.
    Joppy vs Duran...Joppy even said he felt bad about it.
    Cotto vs Martinez...Cotto shamelessly ducked Martinez and only took the fight after the knee injury.
    Joe Smith Jr. vs Hopkins
