    This one has not been done before, so here we go.

    Predictions?

    Dillon would doubtless try to pour misery into Jonses ribs, and make his day unpleasant.

    It would be interesting to see which style prevailed.

    As far as I can gather, Dillon (most of the time) fell short against the best fighters on his record. I see no reason to favour him based on what I can read. Is there any footage of him? I'm too lazy to check.

    That is a bit like saying that Tommy Hearns fell shot against the best fighters on his record.

    Also, fighters from that era fought well past their prime.
