    Bowe himself said Hide stunned him badly. Hide could crack and he could move pretty well (obviously because he's small heavyweight) he was decent i guess but i guarantee he would have done way better in the 60s and 70s

    It was quite simple really. Hide could punch very hard, he had quick hands and could punch from every angle you can think off and some angles you’ve never even heard of!
    But… he was a very nervous guy who too much nervous energy. Aaaaand finally…his chin was made out of the finest most delicate porcelain! With his gifts he could beat lots of b and c grade fighters. But with that chin and those nerves, he wasn’t beating any A grade elite guys, no way!
