In this case make sure SSH is configured to use TCP Wrappers. If
it's not, it'll bypass hosts.allow and hosts.deny.
Another possibility is to block the suspicious IP addresses on your
border firewall. If it's not under your responsibility, install some
filtering mechanism (e.g. iptables) on the SSH machine and filter out the
suspicious IP addresses.

You could deny the host by entering
ALL:80.68.204.50
in /etc/hosts.deny
or if this is your private machine. Do what I do in /etc/hosts.allow enter
all
the IP's (ranges, hosts). and in /etc/hosts.deny. deny everybody.
IE.
/etc/hosts.allow
sshd:a.b.c.d e.f.g.h/snm [EXCEPT i.j.k.l[/snm]]
and in
/etc/hosts.deny
ALL:ALL
This way you are only allowing various hosts access to your machine.
This of course will not block ip spoofing but it will stop a lot of the
attacks.
If this is a corporate machine, I would do it the first way.
