Boxrec supplements my fading memory.

Herbie Hide lost to Vitali, and then fought on the undercard of Robin Reid v Soon Botes for the wbf s/middle, took me about 5 minutes to find, sure there are others.
You are not comparing AJ, Bruno or Copper to Herbie Hide with his minor WBO title are you?
Henry Cooper f40 l14
AJ f24 l3
Herbie f 49 l4

You work it out
Nothing to work out. Herbie Hide does not compare to Bruno, AJ and Cooper in terms of popularity regardless of his boxing record.
Forgot Frank Brunos record f40 l5, Do the maths, Herbie had the better record.

With respect to undercard slots once beaten by a champ, Bruno was on John Mugabis undercard twice, once after Mike Tyson and once after Tim Witherspoon

Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one
I know you’re using their records because it suits your argument, but you’ve given a perfect example of why you CANNOT tell who is best by comparing records.
Herbie Hide - 49 fights - his first 19 fights were at “road sweeper” standard, his last 14 fights were at cruiserweight. He fought in 6 world title fights , fighting 3 past,present or future World champions.
Anthony Joshua - fought 27 times , 12 of which were world title fights and fought 7 past, present or future World champions.
Frank Bruno - fought 45 times , fighting 5 world title fights and fought 7 past , present or future World Champions.
The standard of opposition that AJ & Bruno fought and beat is way about those on Herbie’s record.
I was a road sweeper in Jaywick along the coast in Essex and I fought Herbie in the early 90s for 60 quid. Was it worth it. Fuck it was he broke my cheekbone
