    who wins prime 4 prime?
    hilton beat some good people and hit hard.
    although he was naturally smaller most of his career he was at light middle where he beat a faded wilfredo benitez.

    so who you got?

    i would go for Jermain by SD but he would have to be at the top of his game

    Hilton didnt hit as hard as Kelly, nor was he as big or as good. He COULD punch though, but he was a natural 154 pounder. I believe he only started fighting at 160 when he was past his prime, and had lost the disipline to make 154.

    Taylor would survive some scares, and outbox Hilton for the most part. Not that Taylor is a great boxer, but Hilton was extremely one dimensional.
