Naseem hammed vs Sal Sanchez

[Longhhorn71]

Sanchez took the best Wilfredo Gomez could offer up.

Would Sal just dance around and pepper Naseem with punches and TKO him late???

Yes. It would be more humiliating than the Barrera fight, and this one doesn't go the distance.

Got that right.Chava is KRYPTONITE for the overrated Hamed.The 1st time Hamed lands a punch and Chava easily withstands it,hamed will be ready to go home and cry.An undiciplined puncher with 0 boxing IQ gets destroyed by Sal.

I don't think it would take that long. Really interesting match up, though. A true ATG FW who took on two of the most dangerous punchers of all times that only couldn't prove himself greater because he died too soon, against the overprotected, ego-bloated clown prince of the FWs who crumbled in his first real challenge... then quit. That's some contrast for ya.

Sanchez would fuck him up, and stop him within 10.

Agree but you're being generous with 10 rounds. I'd be suprised if this went past 6 or 7.

[red cobra]

It wouldn't make it to 10, that's the truth. Sal would humiliate the "prince".

Lots of Prince fans on here i can see

I think that is overstating things....Sanchez was better built for the 15 rd era, and fought more in the manner of grinding someone down and stopping them late. Of his 11 fights at the world class level only 5 were stoppages and only 2 in less than 13 rds...and the shortest was 8 against Gomez....I would be surprised if Hamed does not last at least 11.

Hamed was unorthodox and skilled enough that Sanchez would take his time breaking him down/figuring him out...Sanchez TKO 12

Sal is THE WORST possible style for someone like Naz...

I don't think so, I think Sanchez wins but Hamed gets more countering opportunities due to Sanchez's aggression. Hamed has a punchers chance here too

No he doesn't...Not at all.


Little Red Lopez was a harder puncher than Naz, and his bombs didn't even flinch Sal...Combine that with Sal's far superior countering and technical skills and you have a Barrera type clinic X 10.

There was nothing clinic in d Barera fight , just Barera being cautious due 2 him knowing his own limitations in both power and chin departments , and in other departments as well .
Barera did not dominate Hamed or anything , he just avoided falling in2 traps , and i believe that if they fought a sufficient # of times , Hamed would have been d more decisive winner overall , but not 4 those who count 3 *1 pt edge decisions more than 1 clean KO .
Those r not worth d xplanations and should avoid reading my posts .

But do not argue with PowerPuncher or take him seriously . He will twist , bend , change , flex and sometimes even break or switch his criteria every time just 2 fit it 2 his agenda / 4d fighter who granted him more interviews or better , exclusive interviews .

[MadcapMaxie]

Sal feasted on sluggers and would annhilate Hamed in very bad manner, probs not only making him quit but to live under a rock for the rest of his life.
