My only point really is that certain Roy 'victims' would have done okay in that 70's era. Virgil Hill for one. They aren't being given sufficient credit for their abilities.

RJJ/Hill wasn't at LHW.

LH limit is 175 for me. And anyway, Saad fought tougher comp than Hill.

Yeah, but I said Virgil would have done well in the 70's too. That was the point. Probably he would have been regarded as something of a master boxer.

I doubt he'd have done that well against those light heavies.
