    Who'd come out on top here? The dancing destroyer or Hitler's Superman (as he was known in the press back then)?

    Max.

    He'll weather a storm maybe, but it's the other guy that won't be weathering storms. And especially if the bout does not take place in his backyard--Hide was a guy that loved and fed off the crowd.

    Hide's hands at his waist defensive posture will see him eat a big right hand. And it'd be over shortly after because he simply has zero defense to escape or kill time.

    Max by KO, better skillset, higher ring IQ.

    You'd have to favour Max on pedigree but Hide wouldn't be a walk in the park.

    No he wouldn't. A fight would be made of it, that for sure.
