    Either could win by KO but I'd definitely favor prime Whyte.

    Hide early or whyte late. Hide hit hard enough to lay Whyte out but if he hangs out later rnds Hide go's mad. Anything is possible with him

    I think Hyde starches Whyte in an entertaining three round war. Man, Herbie could bang....

    Good fight. Leaning towards Whyte to win but he could sometimes get caught early with a big shot and Hide for all his limitations is the type to deliver that. Either way it would be exciting

    It really could go either way. But dancing destroyer was a fast starter who gave as good as he got. The version who went to war with Bowe is a hard ask for the chinny easy to hit Whyte. If it becomes a war of attrition that goes late it probably favors Whyte.

    Herbie by stoppage in six, he would pepper Whyte with those fast hands and bust his face up.
    If anything Hide could punch hard.
    Even Riddick Bowe when asked who hit him the hardest said Herbie Hide, he also said Hide had him out in there and was one punch from finishing it, but Hide didn't realise it.

    Love this fight,think Hide would win on points or possibly a stoppage due to Gary suffering his eyes being cut by Herbie`s razor like jabs

    Hide is just too fast for him. Even though he wasn’t anywhere near being a top heavyweight in terms of achievements or overall ability he’s gotta be around the top ten of heavyweight champs when it comes to fast hands an fast feet
