Herbie Hide cleared of rape.

[grub]

Hope Herbie gets active again and challenges for a title at Cruiser.

Shame he couldn't make the most of his high WBC ranking a couple of years back

[Dan Dares]

Blimey - I've got money on him getting some sort of cruiserweight strap. Looks like the bets still live.

I'd love to see him spark Danny Green in Oz.

[baulks]

I'd like to see him fight David Haye. He could compete with the smaller Heavies like JC Gomez and Adamek.

[Craig14]

I'd like to see fight David Haye.

Calm down, Haye was shocking against Klitskco but Haye-Hide would be a massive mis-match

[stevek3lly]

I think he is a bit too old to be so innactive so I think he could be finished now. Although the Cruiser division is poor, so could still land a shot.

[keithmoonhangover]

I'd like to see him in with Jon Lewis Dickinson.

[baulks]

Calm down, Haye was shocking against Klitskco but Haye-Hide would be a massive mis-match

A mis-match in who's favour, I think Hide would chin Haye.

Have you had your meds today baulks?

[Adamj1987]

come on herbie

[Crease]

Congratulation on clearing your name Herbie.

[wrimc]

Should team up with Matchroom again they will get him fights

[Deno1986]

Wasn't Herbie the main challenger for the WBC strap around the time he fought in Prizefighter? If he does decide to get back into boxing he needs a few short distance fights to shake off the ring rust. Knowing the WBC they will probably throw him back near the top of the rankings if he fights for and wins one of their International or Silver belts. Then maybe he take chance his arm over in Poland against Wlodarczyk. Time isn't on his side - 40 in August.

rumours amongst the nigerian community are hide is nearer 45 than 40...whatever the score, hide looked awful in prizefighter and needs to get active. i knew he wasnt guilty of this rape charge. the norfolk police ought to be pistol whipped this is at least the second time herbie has been accused of a rape falsely and he has been hounded by the police for years and years.

rarely has a fighter used his money as well as hide despite all his legal headaches. his mansion in norfolk is fantastic. i was there one night in 2000. and his home in america is awesome too.

[Craig14]

I reckon Herbie must have his lawyers number pretty near the top of his cheap phone a friend list.

[crusader]

Hide is done competing at any serious level. Can't see him getting close to a world title shot unless a champ wants an easy defense, but even that will be difficult as Herbie isn't ranked by any sanctioning body.

[Josh1111]

Who promotes him? if he has a promoter that is

In fairness he has been hounded by the police for good reason 99% of the time.

[stevieb_8006]

last time i saw him fight he looked awful. timing has gone and thus a lot of his power. he was just looking for single shots.

he'll het a beating a world level. maybe stand a chance at euro tho.

MAKE THE FIGHT WITH ENZO!!!!!! EITHER COULD GO AT ANY TIME!!!!!!!

[Scottrf]

This is why they shouldn't be able to release names before a conviction.

Is the woman being charged with a false accusation?

Exactly what I mean. No idea if he did it or not but he's been found not guilty. Despite that he has suffered for it, his name is tarnished and he has lost earnings.

Im sure i heard the Hide was declared bankrupt in the late 90's just after he had made the majority of his paydays?
