    Battle of the fast hands. Both in their primes, who takes this one?

    I went with Dokes on points. But Hide’s power would make him a live threat

    Dokes faster, more talented, more durable, better at Heavyweight in his prime.

    Yes. Dokes wasn't much of a champion (then again, neither was Hide). But he was overall a better heavyweight. A unanimous decision for Michael, though I believe both men would get hurt during the course of it.

    I don't think either could stop the other.

    Do you think Hide takes it on points or stoppage and why?

    Prime Dokes is much better than Hide. Dokes by KO.
