    Both these guys were 2 of the worst ever to hold a major belt. But I'll go with Herbie in 3.

    Herbie would get him out of there early but his chin may be the worst in heavyweight history so you have to keep that in mind.

    Do not like those right hand leads from way out on the outside Liakhovich threw. Maybe what---10 a round? He will get beat to the punch with a big right hand by this guy. And they'd be clean right hands from Hide.

    Just a reminder that Liakovich beat Brewster in a war whereas Hide never beat a very good fighter, let alone a guy with power.

    Hard to call Liakhovich a real champion when he held a minor title belt and never defended it.

    Try to imagine Hide coming out on top after brawling with Lamon Brewster for twelve rounds. It would end in three, but you get my point.

    Yeah, I just refrenced the "real champion" part. They both weren't real champions, but I would have Liakhovich as a favorite.

    Brewster was plenty real and he lost to Sergei. Hide wishes he wins belt like that.

    The WBO belt was not minor anymore, it was becoming a major belt precisely at the period when Liakhovich got it.
