	~~== Comeback Attempt Rumored ==~~

	Hill returned to the gym after the death of his father, and in early 2012, was training with his original trainer [[Freddie Roach]] in California for a planned comeback which is still possible. [[http://www.wday.com/event/article/id/60550/]] Hill postponed a ring return as he was a candidate for election into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
