    Conteh had more variation and providing he avoided fighting in Bismark, I would fancy him to outwork and outpoint Quicksilver.

    Conteh WU15 (9-6)

    I don't think Virgil goes the distance personally.

    With Virgils Jab and Mobility being his primary assets, good enough to give many trouble (like Braxton - through styles ) but Conteh was a very fluid mover, with cobra'esque head movement which would see him Slipping Virgils Jab on the way in, Conteh had an excellant Jab himself, so no guarantee that Virgil owns Long Range, But its what happens When Conteh gets up close and personal where the fight will be won, particularly if Conteh gets a bit frustrated, then he gets Vicious, And i think Virgil gets Stylishly Mugged - this is of couse the earlier Conteh, not thye distracted later Conteh who was conteh to box more and didnt have that Earlier Venomous Attitude

    Its looking unanimous - Conteh for me as well ( I suspect like Many Virgil and Camp may be left complaining about careless headwork !?)

    Conteh. Hill didn't have much of a right hand. I just don't think he had enough of an arsenal to beat Conteh.

    Conteh. He was more fluid and fought in the golden era of lightheavies. Outside of Roy Jones Junior, Conteh's opposition was infinitely superior.

    Right. Hill has enough to keep himself in the fight (by being always on the move) but not enough to do any damage to get himself a decision or a KO.

    Conteh in a 10-5 sort of pseudo route.

    Conteh the man, but Hill could possibly upset him in a close one.I think Virgil takes John in a very close fight, possibly decided by where the fight takes place.
