Is he allowed to fight in this country. Would be a decent name to get on Enzos card but i doubt ****** has the bulls to put him in there with Hide.
Hide vs Mac, oh dear

i get the feeling Hide is not a big enough name that he can't be avoided!
Mac would be a huge favourite hide isnt as dangerous as braithwaite. id like to see the fight but Enzo finishes him off before round 5.

Hide would kill Enzo. There's a reason ****** always puts Enzo in mismatches.

The reason why ****** is so cautious with his fighters is so they can make money from a tough career, i see no problem with that as long as theres a progression in the fighters career, ****** isnt stupid, unless he knows he has a dynamite fighter on his hands then its gonna be a long time before he throws them in with a dangerous opponent, hes done it with every fighter hes ever had, you couldnt pick and choose quite so easily in America because the viewing public are more demanding but while the british public are paying to see these mismatches then ****** will go along with it ........ I would be far less cautious with Enzo and take a risk, i think hes a good fighter that could take Mormeck if hes given the chance to shine .... I havent seen much of Hide since he got demolished by Vitali so i dont know his current level, he was always a dangerous, fast handed aggresive guy so maybe he would be a decent opponent for Enzo, he was easy meat for the really big men like Vitali and Bowe but maybe Cruiser is were he should have always been

Hide is certainly a welcome additon domestically and globally at 200lbs. But in all honesty its probably a little to late. Hide is erractic illdisciplined inconsistent and has a horrid chin.He certainly has world class power and talent in abundance but his on the wrong side of 30.This aside it would be great to see him in some domestic bouts with Haye or Enzo or even making some noise on the world scene.His only downfall is that dreadful chin.Literally anything can happen irrespective of however well his doing in the fight.

I'm not sure that Herbie would be allowed to come back to Britain without having to answer to the authorities. It has been alleged that he has some outstanding matters to address.
If he came back though, who would he fight? Enzo is too well protected by ******, and the BBBC seem to be clamping down on the sort of opponents Hide normally fights.
Truth is, Herbie is still a long way off a big fight with a name opponent. Who's to say he even wants it?

I've never seen Hide fight, but wasn't he involved in the riot after one of Fraudley Harrison's fights? He came across like an absolute idiot, and him and his posse trashed the area around the ring before leaving. What a loser.

i watched hide fight live on this sight on sunday. he looked very sharpe, fast hands and quick reflexes, and was boxing really well. he would be a hand full for anyone at cruiserweight

Compare him to Huck or Cunningham tonight.. I think Herbieis a skilled fast heavyweight who can make cruiserweight limit easily at a push.. BUT.. He has self doubts and is susceptible to getting caught flush.. he can be gunshy too.. The first time he got his whiskers clipped he froze.. v Craig Peterson at heavyweight..
Then he got a belt off Bowe and was railroaded breifly..
Then the whole Vitali thing..
Then the shambles against Chinganghu..
finally in a fight he was winning against kulikalpas he was cut and stopped..
I hope he gets a break and becomes a champ once again.. but he has a lot of hurdles to overcome..
