    Could go a bit like the Bowe fight the difference is bowe had a solid chin .we don't know how Joshua would react to hide hitting him in the chops.

    I remember Herbie Hide doing alright with Bowe early on but he was exhausted half way through the fight. It'd be a fun fight I think Hide would have some early success but in the end Joshua would probably get him outta there in the late rounds. I think Hide's best chance would be to catch him early

    Difference is Hide wouldn't keep getting up from the knockdowns, AJ would put him to sleep.

    AJ might yet prove to be as fragile as Hide but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    I think if he was as fragile as Hide he wouldn't have survived the round against Whyte.

    Hide had monster power but just about the worst chin I've seen at heavyweight. Vitali laid him out with a grazing jab. Don't think he'd survive the first against Joshua.

    Hide would never have survived that hard left hand from Whyte.

    this is one instance when you can truly say herb could run but he could also hide. Still get ktfo though.

    yeah I don't think this would be a cakewalk for Joshua. he should win because Hide had a very questionable chin but you cant forget his speed and power, he had Bowe seemingly out a few times and wrecked a few fighters. Its still unclear how AJ would react if badly hurt, he is still untested really so I find some of these match ups difficult to say. He showed against Whyte that he had a bit of grit but I still wonder. Hide was dam quick and had a few skills on him, but that chin was an issue, if AJ starts landing then Herbie would go slipping on the bananas peels every two seconds

    Whyte has no power, couldn't put a dent on a shot chisora, haye sparked the prime version out cold
    Hide could turn his lights out if he lands like on bowe

    I might fight Whyte's corner here, if I thought it was worth fighting!
