Where would Prime Hide fit in with our current heavyweights

Hide had no chin. None.

Like father, like son. The original "Shades of Ali".

 

Hide would have had a chance against all of them, but he might have lost inside a couple of rounds too.
Fast with huge power, as he could finish guys off faster as big names did, and even had Bowe out on his feet at one point without realizing it. But like mentioned a quite feeble chin to go with it and on the small side for a HW.
I have always rated him just above Haye, who is very comparable.

 

Overrated! Hide got knocked out from the wind of that punch from vitali, watch the replay, it doesn’t even connect!

And what was that return about around 10 years ago? Fought a load of nobodies in Germany, pointless

 

Herbie hit like a truck.
His speed and power might give aj problems and but he would be an under dog vs the top heavys just like he was then..

Whyte is better than williams...hes been in there with chisora, parker, browne. Some decent names and won. Williams was fringe euro level at best.

 

A well maintained lampost is more spritely than Dullian Shyte

 

The epitome of chinny banger.

 

Hide was the classic glass cannon. Potentially dangerous for any heavyweight with his uncommon speed and power, he was also an excellent finisher when he had a fighter hurt.

On the flip side, he was undersized for a heavyweight, had comedy punch resistance, and was liable to physically and mentally fold at any point. He was particularly vulnerable against larger heavyweights like Bowe and Klitshcko, where he repeatedly went down with cuffing punches.

Given the size of most of the current top 10, the most likely scenario is that he gets mauled and stopped by most of them. Whyte and Ortiz for example would probably be too strong for him. There is always the chance though that he catches them before they get to him. Ironically he may stand the best chance against Wilder out of the top boys. Obviously if Wilder connected Hide would land somewhere in the third row, but until that point Wilder is likely to bomb from range and not muscle Hide up close where he falls apart. Hide would be the quicker of the two, and he could get to Wilder first. Wilder takes it a lot better though, so the odds are still heavily in his favour.

 

I can't see Whyte getting bounced around the ring against a Samil Sam level fighter. Williams put his punches together better, but Whyte is the stronger, more effective fighter.
