    He is above Audley!

    Hide beat Bentt who kind of won his title in similar circumstances to Martin, although Bentt had an amateur pedigree that Martin has not.

    Hide also beat an ancient very good contender/title holder in Tucker, thus, that gives him the edge for the moment.

    But this question will one way or the other be answer by this time next year.

    I wouldn't put any stock in Hide's win over Tucker.
    Tucker looked so bad, fat and out of shape, it was hard to imagine that he really was Tony Tucker. Could have been anyone. :lol:

    But Charles Martin's might be the worst paper title reign ever. His performance last night was absolutely awful. As of now, I expect him to fade away into obscurity and never have a meaningful win.

    Hide's win over Bentt was a credible win. :good

    Hide definitely has the edge over AJ at the moment.
