    Simon never went the whole 15 with Louis, he was stopped in the 13th and the 6th.

    I think Conn would beat them both but not at all easily. I mean, for a start, would they even notice his punches landing ? Neither of those guys could feel pain, and Conn's fists were pure feathers.
    Conn might get dragged into an inside brawl with either of them, he was competitive like that. Galento beat some boxers he wasn't "supposed to" beat, so I can't assume Conn's superior skills would make logic prevail.
    And Abe Simon was a freakin' bear. Conn could tire himself into the canvas just hitting that big lump.
    I'd favour Conn, but not with any great confidence.
