Herbie Hide cleared - So will he fight again?

Herbie Hydehas been cleared today of all charges as prosecution couldn't bring any evidence against him. Give the stress, bad publicity and no smoke without fire mentality we are all brought up with, will he fight again? If he doesn't, I can't see him getting any high publicity job within or around boxing. I have heard that he has invested his money wisely, so maybe he doesn't need to box again. Opinions or insights welcome.

Even if he were to fight again - would he be effective?

Crusierweight is a reasonable division, with some decent fighters in it ie Tarver, Lebedev, Palacios, Cunningham, Afolabi and Huck.

Hide won't be beating that level.

He was on a roll on the European scene in recent years, but as his style relied heavily on his reflexs, I doubt he will still make a splash at the top end of the division because of his age.

Also as Enzo Mac has dropped down to light heavy there is no decent match up for him in the UK.

Hide wont be involved in the media side, he comes accross as an idiot.

Cant see him making any in roads @ cruiser neither, not now.

Yeah he's not made for the media side of things and would expect him to fail in any sort of comeback.

Sadly, I tend to agree with you. Hopefully the rumour I heard that he has some pretty sound investments is right, so he doesn't have to fight again
