    Chatting a lot of **** :lol:

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“Originally I was meant to fight Matt Godfrey in a final elimination bout”, states Hide. “But Godfrey pulled out of the fight twice. This boy has been ducking me for more than half a year now. He is afraid of me – and I can’t blame him for that. I would have kicked his ass from Völklingen right back to the hole in the States where he is hiding.”

    [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“In fact, Godfrey isn’t the only one who is ducking me. Everybody is afraid of the ‘Dancing Destroyer’ because everybody knows that I am the strongest man in the cruiserweight division. If this German kid Marco Huck ever wants a thorough thrashing he can always contact me. I will knock him out anywhere anytime. He might be powerful but nobody in the division is as powerful as me.”[/FONT]

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“Remember that I have been knocking out heavyweights my whole life. In the cruiserweight division there is no one who is even fighting in my league. It will be easy for me to win the belt – as long as people actually dare to fight me.”[/FONT]

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“I am glad that whoever wins in Fragomeni vs. Wlodarczyk can’t look past me because I am the mandatory challenger. I will beat both of them the same night if necessary to take what’s mine. I promise to all of my fans, to my promoter Ahmet Öner and to my trainer Rocky that I will be the next world cruiserweight champion. As soon as I get a shot at the title the belt will be mine.”[/FONT]

    He doesn't lack confidence does he.

    I don't rate his chances of winnign a belt, I think Huck, Frag and that polish geezer with the impossible to spell surname all beat him handily. He doesn't box like he used to, he's wild now.

    Pick any name out of a cruiserweight top 10 and they likely beat Herbie 8/10 times.

    Herbie's speed and reflexes are shot.

    Forget it.

    Francisco Palacios may be tempted to fight, or someone from the Brit domestic scene like Rob Norton looking for a payday

    He'd be lucky to beat Wilson Palacios.

    that is absolute bull ****.


    You guys have gotta give Hide some respect. He was an absolute nobody thats made something of his life with pure hard work, fighting guys twice his size.

    We slate his chin because he was knocked over by the friction between air and glove.

    Hide hasn't looked that impressive in his last few fights, but good luck to him, I hope he can pull one out of the bag for a title win. He may have aged but I don't think it's fair to totally write him off.
