Matthew Hilton. I actually thought at one time he was above an average joe. Man did he disappoint after achieving some belts.

Re: Average Joes who briefly achieved greatness.
Yeah me too, especially after he destroyed Wilfred Benitez, who was coming off an impressive victory. Benitez was never the same after getting knocked out by Hilton, IMO.Originally Posted by awdleyfuturehalloffamer

Re: Average Joes who briefly achieved greatness.
Would Henry Cooper count? I know he was well-known inside of the UK, but he was well-known internationally for knocking down Ali. Maybe I'm just showing my ignorance here.

Sure, we'll allow Cooper for striking fear into the hearts of Ali fans everywhere.
Another that sticks in my mind was Gene "Mad Dog" Hatcher, who was being hopelessly outclassed by JW champ Johnny Bumphus until he managed to plant a single left hand upside Bumphus' head in the 11th round of their 1984 fight, thereby achieving his brief moment in the sun.

A bit tough on Braddock, he was an outstanding Light Heavyweight for many years.
Just a dude in blue.
