    I kind of liked to see hamed vs morales, I think morales would have won it.

    Morales would've hurt him with more body punches. Possible KO, but Hamed had a nice chin.

    The commentary crew for HBO mentioned during the fight that the vast majority of the press picked Hamed to win too

    Hamed was favorite



    Morales - Hamed would of been a more entertaining fight as they both would have got stuck in...

    Barrera beat an undefeated Hamed and Morales, hell of a fighter.

    Hamed's power was just expected to be too much. I remember the feeling was he was the favorite due to that bottom line.

    Definitely Hamed. All the old school guys in my gym were going for Barrera and I just laughed at them. They had the last laugh eventually.

    Yes he picked the fighter that just kicked the **** out or Morales because he thought he was past it :patsch He picked MAB because it was a super fight

    when he ducked this guy during the later part of the 90s, i knew he was just an overrated ***** who would eventually lost big time to a truly A-level opponent.

    Hamed was a naturally much smaller guy...

    Unfortunately he was so cocky he thought he could beat physically stronger guys... and he could most of the time..

    But a great small guy... doesn't beat a great bigger guy..

    And that is the story about that fight.
