Did Hide Run from Williams?

A few months ago Hide was saying he wanted Williams. He said this almost all the time. Now he's not doing anything & a match with Williams looks a mile off. I know Williams would face Hide no problem. It seems like Hide doesn't want any of Williams, despite what he says.

And did Williams really KO Hide in sparring, or is that just rumours?

Yes, the rumours are true concerning Hide and Williams.

As far as is hide running from Williams puropsely, who knows with Hide he is just like Tyson.

Yes, he did. The fight was all set for December, the BBC had backed it; Hide just had to sign the contract. Williams certainly wanted it.
But Hide decided, for seemingly NO reason, to walk away.
Now he's on the verge of having his licence pulled for carrying a 10-inch knife around with him, and the fight is further away than ever.
That's probably just how Herbie wanted it.

the silence from the herb just lately has been deafening, he's done a naseem hamed it seems.

all that talk and too not back it up is poor form he need to get in a mandatory position to fight for the british title and the fight can be made without politics getting in the way as it'll go to purse bids

Herbie is aptly name, seeing as hide is all he has done lately.
