    Both have power, one has a strong chin while the other has a weak chin but tremendous speed. Who wins this battle?

    Peter. Much more durable and hard puncher, I can see a replay of Peter vs Jeremy Williams.

    Hide would use his speed and movement to outbox Peter, there's a chance he KO's him early, but imo the smart money is on Sam absorbing what he has to give and I don't think Herbie had the stamina or durability to last all 12 rounds.

    Peter with a come from behind stoppage win in the 2nd half of the fight.

    I went with Sam Peter to get a KO but this would be one brutal fight

    I would love to have seen Herbie campaign at 200.. could have had a great career with a few losses as well

    I think Jeremy Williams would have been the conqueror of George Foreman had he fought in 1973-74

    I wouldn't go that far but he was a good fighter. He could really bang too. Just was always slightly away from being in a top contender although he did fight Henry Akinwande for the WBO title. Williams was a fan friendly fighter and fun to watch.

    HH was powerful but wasn't a rough and tumble fighter like SP was and SP was a brute with good power....SP was a dangerous man and he beats up HH

    you are right.. I meant to say this about the majority of his career not at the end... I have always felt the same way about Orlin Norris

    Orlin was a higher caliber fighter. Almost beat Tucker in 91 and was one of the top cruisers of the 90s+had a title run.
