    I was going through footage of Vitali on youtube and after the Hide fight I decided to check Hide's other footage

    They had all his WBO title bouts

    Early KO 1st defense

    Early KO 2nd defense

    How do you rate the reign? Any fans?

    To tell you the truth he reminds me a lot of Haye fast guy lots of power high KO percent and some flaws to go along

    Who you got prime for prime in that match up?

    Back in the day Herbie was definately a force to be reckoned with, his only problem was that he was way too small for a heavyweight which showed when he went up against Bowe and Klitschko, but he definately had heart (watch the 6 or 7 knockdowns at the hands of Bowe).

    But...the man could punch and very hard too and had very fast hands. Herbie in his prime would destroy Haye. Would be too fast and powerful. Would have been a great fight at Cruiserweight between the pair since they were around the same size physically.

    Very good assessment, I read that Bowe said Hide hit the hardest.

    Exactly the same applies to Haye.
