Virgil Hill

Superb defensive boxer but aquired taste. Style combined with being waaaay to localized in homestate hurt exposure. His wins over Czyz, Tate, Maske, Tiozzo and Kinchen, who gave Hearns hell, were solid. He just ignited Kinchen in brutal fashion. Thought Del Valle beat him after dropping Hill in 2nd round.... Waters fight had to be one of the most boring fights ever. Swear he won it on jab alone, literally. Zzzzzz. Always wanted to see yng Michael Moorer get a crack at him. Dude was a class act too, seemed nice as can be.

I also thought he was a trainer nowadays.

I always thought he used to be in the WWF

I got confused with:

Basically what everyone else said, a good/solid fighter with a solid left jab. But nothing special despite all those title defenses, he lost handily to Dariusz Michalczewski who outjabbed Virgil Hill totally. And as other's have said froze against Tommy Hearns who was past his peak.

But Virgil Hill did have some underrated wins, he won the title off Leslie Stewart who had a classic with Marvin Johnson. And fighters like Tiozzo, Kinchen, Czyz, were no mugs either.

But i just feel he was nothing special, despite as i said all those title defense's he made. The only thing that stood out about him to me was his left jab. But it was impressive how he destroyed Kinchen, Tiozzo, in only 1 round and considering he only had 40 percent KO ratio.
