    Heck I didn't know he was still fighting. He's gotta be pushing 40 by now and if he isn't planning on anything serious in terms of getting a title shot he should call it a day.[/QUOTE]

    He had been ranked number 1 for the WBC for a long time and was on the verge of a title shot, till he entered the Prize Fighter, surely a WBC fight pays more than the 32k that the winner of Prize fighter gets.

    It says in the article that Hide was taking the WBC to court over them dropping him down the rankings after the Prizefighter, so who knows what is going on.

    Justifiably so...he didn't lose, and unless the guys below him were getting big wins against contenders then he probably shouldn't have faded away from that no1 spot. And the Norton fight doesn't make any sense at all to me, Norton is massively lucky to still have his belts, and isn't going to make Hide look good at all.
