    Hill would have jabbed his way to a decision win.

    Hill handles Sugar Ray easily. Leonard took on a Donny Lalonde at a lower weight and was out boxed for awhile by him. He knocks him out because Lalonde was drained.

    I agree Hill wins for sure UD or even a TKO, LaLonde weighed in at 167 and I hade read many places he was extremely drained from doing so and it showed many times in the fight, it's possible if his camp had not worried so much about his weight he may have been able to beat Leonard who weighed in at 165.

    Hill must be one of the best jabbers in history
