Did Herbie take a dive, or was he really KO'd by this light looking jab that Klitschko bare'ly connected with?

There can be no arguement about it, Hide has a china chin. His offence is good, he carries power in both hands, throws a lot of shots and against Haye would make it interesting for about a minute, but pretty soon Haye is going to land a jab, or a big right, and its all over.

There's nothing to debate here, Haye should move up now! He's achieved more in his 'relative'ly' short pro career than both Nelson and Hide did in their whole careers and he has nothing to prove by sparking either of them.

Herbie gave him a boxing lesson in the first round though
I can't really work out what happened, he must have been hit harder in his career, I've always wondered if Herbie was out drinking the night before, or stoned or something, can't just be the punch surely?
He does have a shit chin though.

Hide would be annihilated by Haye, he's slower than he used to be, and he's raw like sushi as well. Part of the reason he takes a punch so badly is his balance is crap and he throws shots to the rafters all the time. He also seems to be particularly suceptible to shots on top of the head.

Hide would come leaping in with a wild hook, Haye counters with a big right hand or uppercut and Hide gets driven home in a van with flashing blue lights.

WTF is everyone mentioning Hide in the same thread as Haye?

I challenge someone to name ONE top 10 CW that Herbie has beaten.....Exactly!

Or a top 10 Heavyweight when he was up there!

Bentt must have been in the top 10 having beat Morrison so easily.

Perhaps but it's debatable. It was clearly a fluke.

Bentt was also I believe in the middle of fasting due to his religious believes.

On a side note, when was the last time a YOUNG, fit heavyweight like Bentt suffered career ending injuries during one contest.

I'm sure the ring had Bentt quite high in their rankings when he fought Hide.

Still not a great win though is it

plus it was like, 14 years ago.

I reckon Haye beating Hide would not be a foregone conclusion. I'd put money on Hide knocking Haye out.

I thought I saw a right land behind Hide's temple after the jab, noone else see that?

I take it that would be a long shot punt which would have rich rewards if it came in?

And yeah, Klitschko caught Hide with a one two, left jab and right high on the temple, Hide didn't see it, camera angle is just poor

the camera angle is perfectly positioned, had it not been the "one-two-high on the temple" theory you suggest could have held some weight, but the excellent camera work exposes it for what it was...... a dive! Other than that, he feinted with freight!

Well said, not only has he had his day but he's a fornicating tosser as well. He's beating up on bums and now he's world class?

He's a headcase, he can bang but his beard is shocking.
