    Hide.

    Quick and unorthodox. He would land early on Price who was slow, static and didn't have a strong jab.

    A pre Tony Thompson Price takes Hide out in 2-3 rounds.

    A post Tony Thompson Price gets stopped in 5-6 rounds.

    Perhaps Tyson Fury should change his surname to Hide after ducking Usyk

    Hide beats any version of Price, Hide had phenomenal power and one hell of a heart.

    I like this match up, Going with big Price to iron Herbie out with a massive right hander in a good scrap.

    Not sure Hide would be able to get close enough to be destructive

    Protective goggles needed for the front row in this one.

    Hide all day long. Forget the chins, I’ve never seen a HW with as poor stamina as Price.

    Anyone picking Price to win have zero knowledge of heavyweight boxing

    I remember reading or watching an interview some time back which mentioned he put so much pressure on himself that he'd burn so much nervous energy by the time he entered the ring that he'd be ****ed after a few rounds.

    Probably the perfect case of being superb in the gym but not being able to replicate it under the bright lights.

    I don't think stamina would be an issue either way in this fight.

    Thinking of Hide-Bowe rounds 1-2 and Hide-Tucker, I'd say there's a 80/20 chance that Herbie lands early and takes Price out.

    When you think of Hide-Bowe rounds 3-6 and Hide-Klitschko, as long as Pricey is still standing he doesn't need to land cleanly to put Hide down. Price obviously wasn't on the level of those guys, but he did land big on both Povetkin and Thompson, who were both much more durable than Hide.

    Overall, in the proverbial "who lands first" battle you'd back the quicker guy to win more often than not. Glass Cannon Vs Glass Cannon can always swing the other way though.
