    And in fairness to Bruno, he was winning against Lewis, Smith and Witherspoon before gassing/getting caught.

    Hide would have given Frank hell with his speed for a few rounds...but Bruno would have eventually gotten to him..and flattened him.

    Bruno KO 4

    Hide didn't have the chin to hang. He can only run for so long.

    So what you are saying is Herbie could run, but he could not hide?!

    is Hide quicker and more devastating than Tyson in 89?

    Hyperventilating Herbie huffs and puffs and falls down ... against any live opposition.

    Guy was a complete headcase and built his rep against has-beens and never-weres.

    Yeah I'd say prime Hide was definitely as fast as Tyson at throwing singular hard shots.

    I can recall hearing Rocky Sekorski mentioning Hide hit as hard as Foreman, he was a sparring partner of Hide's in the early 90's and fought Big George in 87.

    I can't believe people have put Hide and Tyson in the same sentence.
