Lol, Jirov would have been Herbie's worst nightmare. Tough, badass pressure fighter who wouldn't fall over and would just keep coming forward till he lands, probably in the first round.

When Hide steps into world class with people who punch him back, he folds.

Tony Tucker?...

no way was tucker world class by the time herbie got to him.

i agree that jirov would have beaten herbie decisively. :>

Thanks for proving my point.

His best win is a 39 year old out of shape completely shot fighter coming off losses to Bruce Seldon, Henry Akinwande and Orlin Norris....?

WHAT A RESULT!!!

Rob Calloway is highly ranked by the WBC I see, despite being KOd in his last fight (albeit by a very good prospect.)

Reckon that would be a decent fight if Hennessy wants to keep Herbie busy on the Froch undercard.

I still think Herbie should try chase Audley.

In hindsight, Herbie would of likely knocked Audley clean out in round 1 had they fought in 2004 (but Audley pursued Bruno instead then ran off to the states)

Those old and shot champions at HW can still KTFO a so said super CW, like Jirov who got KTFO by Moorer hasn't he? were you just not saying with guys like Jirov Hide would never be a force?
You have made a point that hide has never had a big big win, but my point was that he has lots of veyr decent wins and that is why I said he COULD HAVE BEEN a force in the CW division.

There is a massive difference between Tony Tucker and Michael Moorer - who lets not forget was a Light Heavyweight himself. Moorer was in a different league to Tucker in terms of ability and freshness.

Fact is... Hide would/will fall if he would have got tagged by anyone... yes, he has impressive freak like power. I would say actually in the P4P top ten for Power alone - so stood a punchers chance... but most world class guys would have tagged him... and he would fall.
