Herbie Hide vs David Haye. Who do you have?

hide was always exciting but (unfortunately) haye is on a different level talent wise. faster, combinations and power are just as good, chin is better (amazing i know). just can't see hide taking it

 

prime vs prime?

Haye wouldn't win it.

 

in terms of balls, hide was willing to fight bowe and klitschko who were massive compared to him, hide had to wear weights just to get above 200 pounds!

right now there is no chance hid wins.

in the prime for prime matchup, toss up. both chinny, both bang. just whoever lands first

 

yeah, i mean hide was exciting and would fight anyone, anytime. but so would brian minto. hide could have been a truly brilliant cruiser but he moved up and he just doesn't have the durability

 

Ye he was kayoing heavies for fun, no doubt he could have ruled the cruisers in that era.

then again it is worth the risk to be a hw champ, even if it is wbo champ

 

you raise a good point and the era he competed in was pretty damn solid

 

He's making a point, not a comparison.

 

yup, not to say minto is in hide's league but just cause you take on the best doesn't mean you can beat them

 

Haye potshots Hide from range and stops him in the 2nd. Equally it's just as feasable Hide drops Haye early too... Hide was quick and hit hard too at his best but i think Haye has all that as well as better boxing ability and size advantage.... who ha the better chin in this one don't mean **** cos neither can take the others best shot

 

Prime for prime Hide...

Hits harder, is quicker, has more balls... for the rest they look like a carbon copy of eachother...

 

Both lose by first round glass chin KO

 

:nono Balls don't win fights.
