Around 95ish, who would land first and who would win out of these undersized heavys

Good fight, actually.

Herbie Hide was actually a decent fighter, if not for his chin he would have been something (IMO).

Pulling numbers out of my ass... I imagine this one lasting about 9 rounds... Moorer TKO. Moorer down once, Herbie down 5 times.

Hide was a bully, pure and simple. Everytime he got hit back, he lost. Bowe floored him 7 times without really nailing him, Klitschko knocked him out with a punch to the shoulder, and he was biffed out by journeyman Joseph Chingangu.

I remember seeing Hide interviewed once when he was bemoaning the fact that the British public didn't take to him even though he was the 2 time heavyweight champion of the world! He actually thought the WBO titles won against Michael Bentt and a badly faded Tony Tucker entitled him to hero worship.

Moorer KO4.

Moorer's chin gets too much stick. He wasn't exactly solid in the beard but you needed to thump him to put him away. Hide could deffo drop him, but I could see Moorer clambering up off the deck.

Hide on the other hand, just looked like he didn't want it when he got caught by nearly anything. Though he was quicker & a nasty combination puncher, I don't think he'd enjoy eating Moorer's right jab, & if Double-M landed in combination, Herbie would go to sleep.

Herbi throws wildly when out of range. ends up off balance. gets his head taken off by a counter right hook.

Moorer by KO any time he wants. Moorer competed and won in world class. Hide didn't. Moorer could get badly hurt and come off the floor to win, Hide coudln't. Moorer is a two time world champ, Hide definitely isn't.

Wow, I can't remember this at all

Moorer was an altogether different league to the overrated Hide
