    Herbie Hide is set to fight the winner of Giacobbe Fragomeni and Krysztof Wlodarczyk for the WBC cruiserweight world title on June 26th, a week after the Haye fight.

    Can Hide do it?

    I reckon he doesn't fancy going up against Godfrey, but at the same time I wouldn't pick him as favourite against either of these guys either. Fragomeni is someone he'd have trouble with too I think. Frag has a good chin and Herbie won't just be able to blast him out in 3 rounds like the other bums he's been fighting.

    I think he's damaged goods really, and he's just about getting away with getting a bit of a career going at cruiserweight coz he's been matched cautiously. Once he comes up against someone approaching world class I think he gets knocked out. I don't trust Herbie to win a 12 round decision over anyone competent, not today, so if he fights someone who he can't just knock out in the first couple of rounds then he will lose.

    Nope, Hide's past it I'm afraid. He wasted his best years out of his depth in the heavyweights.

    :lol: Awwww.

    I suppose Hide might give some guys a few problems with his speed and power. But with a chin like his he won't last too long I think.

    He wasn't going to get 2 million guaranteed english pounds fighting cruiserweights in 1995.

    Hide's purse for Bowe :deal

    Herbie Hide is a very wealthy man

    I wouldnt call winning a heavyweight title being out of his depth. Yes, he certainly wasnt on Bowe or Vitalis level, but the boy done good for a crusier with no chin.
