what kinda drugs like? guys always been in immense shape and got a family bit of a weird one if ture hope not.

It's the first time I've heard about drugs and Herbie Hide. I doubt that this is true.

I've heard he's hooked on Ford Orion's.

This time last year wasn't he up at the top of the WBC Cruiserweight rankings awaiting a title shot? He then had a brief appearance in Prizefighter where he didn't look too smart and has now disapeared off the scene. Doesn't really add up.

i dont think he did anything wrong in prizefighter, he hit hard then a cut ruined his chances of continuing in the competition.

I don't think Hide would touch drugs - otherwise we'd see Herbie goes bannanas... D

I just remember thinking he looked poor and an on form Herbie would have blown that fella out of there.

To be fair the bloke is nearly 50 and it was only 3 rounds!

really hmm i have heard things before from his times in norwich which led to him leaving the country sharpish.

My point is he was a top ranked Cruiserweight at the time and next in line for a World Title shot. That's the main reason I was a bit suprised/dissapointed with his performance in PF.

He won every round in that prizefighter bout, knocking the guy down twice in the first. He got a bit freaked out when he got cut and lost it bit. He needs to be a bit more careful with his crust when he fights. Awesome punch though, capable of taking anyone out.
