    Who wins the battle of the iron chins and why? Is a stoppage possible?

    I reckon you need a 150 rounder, to get a fight to a finish here;)

    Hide in his pomp wins about 55% of their matches...

    If they fought 100 times the most frequent result IMO, would be Hide in six, and Seldon in ten.

    In other words Hide's chin was slightly better. :)scaredas: never, ever, thought I would need to write that sentence) Their power was about the same IMO.

    :D


    I could also immagine a double KO, because of the wind of their shots...



    no, seriously, a shame that both had such glass chins, because both were always in top shape and had great power...

    Based on their comparative performances against Bowe I'd say Hide by KO in 4.

    This shouldn´t of course be a serious discussion who wins, although...

    Herbie Hide KO1. I think Hide would be more aggressive early on and land that all important first jab to KO Seldon.

    Always makes me think how Seldon changed so much over his career.

    I think Hide's got more power, anyway.

    Hmm...Seldon actually developed into a pretty decent boxer, his jab in particular is so underappreciated it's not funny.

    But Herbie on the other hand could box well so that's even. And I'd have him as a heavier hitter.

    So I guess I'd be backing Herbie to score the stoppage victory.

    We are talking about Bruce Seldon, we may not even need a punch to deck him; agree Mike?;)
