    I bumped into Enzo Mac in Swansea today and talked for a couple of minutes.

    He said he really wants to go after all the belts and unify the division. He wants the WBC Belt as it's the most recognised belt and the Hide fight would suit him as Hide is ranked #2 by the WBC.

    He said he should know late tonight who he is fighting and Hide is apparently on the shortlist amongst a couple of others who he didn't name.

    I really hope Herbie gets the fight though Macca wins by KO IMO.

    Hide/Macca would be entertaining as hell.

    Really difficult one to call with their two soft chins. Maybe Macca on the basis he's a bit more well schooled and punches straighter. He also has much superior stamina to box consistently, whereas Hide swings for a few rounds and loses the plot when he doesn't hit something.

    I agree it would be a hell of a fight while it lasted.

    Enzo seemed very keen on this fight.

    Hide would be a great replacement.

    And me...problem is the most entertaining part of Herbie is his antics during the run-up. 5 days is hardly long enough for him to develop the trash....the press conference as always would be entertaining.

    Hide didn't seem in shape against that journeyman a few weeks ago.

    If Hide steps in I would buy the PPV:deal . If it's some bum then Warren can forget it.

    Former two time heavyweight titlist. He's a good fighter. I've seen his ko's at 200 and he looked refreshed. Not sure about his last few fights going the distance.

    Hides a good fight to make cos Hides registered a decent comeback.

    Hide's problem is he's not as quick anymore. He looked quick against heavies, and he probably would have been quick if he'd fought at his natural weight class long ago before making his money in the heavyweight division at the expense of achievement.

    His physical ability is average now, so he's mostly a one trick pony. He just wings shots, but he's still got a lot of power quite clearly. It's more luck than judgement whether he actually hits anything, and he wastes energy.

    I suppose with Enzo's defence and chin you never know.
