Two real underacheivers here who had the talent and strength to be something really special in the division. Both had personal issues with the bottle and the law, and therin their troubles lied, what wasted potential on both parts. It is a tough call as Hilton was rarely in shape due to his alcoholism, but I think the Hilton on the wagon in training camp that beat Buster Drayton could wear down and outpoint Simon in a hard fight.
OK. A brutal Jake LaMotta vs Joey DeJohn kind of brawl. Ayala prevails in a wild punchout via left hook to the body in round four after getting off the floor himself.
