If they had met when they were supposed to (on the infamous Hong Kong bill), I think Hide would of outpointed 'The Duke'.
hide simply lacked size - he'd still have been too much for crack-boy tommy, at ANY stage of his wastrel career.
hide for me. faster, straighter punches and never gun shy. he can get off the floor as much as tommy did and has the spite drive and heart to win. morrison can def spark him out hard. but hide isnt an easy target. and longer rangier fighters didnt seem to catch hide long enough to make it effective till they caught up with him or countered on the exchanges. going herbie.
If we are talking Hong Kong maybes... Bruno/Mercer and the initial announcement of Collins/Bradley (who was replaced with namesake Beasley) would be more interesting.
