    Prince Naseem was 16-1 in championship fights with 14 knockouts. He knocked out Kevin Kelly, Tom Johnson, Wilfredo Vasquez, and Manuel Mediana all very good world champs. His record is as impressive as either Pedroza or Sanchez.

    never heard of them but Ive seen Haseem vs Barerra. the man leaves himself wide open & stands straight up where u can catch him. Hassem looks like an awkard bum and for good reason so lets leave these circus acts of yours out of the discussion. and the showboating - OMG!!! I'd rather watch Ray Leonard do it

    Gomez was coming up in weight,and Nelson was a novice ,certainly not an ATG at that time.

    Pedroza never fought Nelson who took out Pat Cowdell in 1 round, the same Cowdell who lost a split decision to Sanchez.

    Hamed was exposed by the best fighter he fought.

    Sanchez was "exposed" by Antonio Becerra; Pedroza was "exposed" by Alfonso Perez and Alfonzo Zamora, what are you gonna do?

    Incorrect. Sanchez and Pedroza both lost early fights and went on from there to achieve great things. Hamed lost and it completely ruined his fragile ego and hence, his entire career. That's the difference between him and a great fighter.

    Pedroza was knocked out 3 times, had 3 decision losses and 2 draws, Hamed fought the same type of bums Pedroza did coming up, and he wasn't knocked out, Why? As a matter of fact he got rid of most of the quite quickly, and the only guy he lost to was is a sure fire all of famer and arguably better than anyone Pedroza or Sanchez ever fought.

    Sanchez had a loss and a draw early, and arguably lost to both Pat Ford and Cowdell (I think he won, but the cards were close). He is best known for beating two great fighters, one coming up in weight, the other, a novice in his 14th fight who had never fought out of Africa before. I love all three guys, but Hamed was the Hardest puncher by a mile, and would have been right there with any of them.

    Basement-dwelling trolls without an ounce of self-respect are incapable of feeling anything even remotely close to shame, so that doesn't surprise me in the slightest. But it's nice that we've uncovered more of your background and gained more of an understanding of why you are the way that you are.


    I have an account over at the site of that particular alias and I've come across these posts of yours, and there's not too many on the web claiming to have personally seen Ray Leonard walk up to Juan Roldan and thanked him for "softening" up Hagler. :lol:

    Hamed never beat anyone as remotely as good as those two. Never. He beat a bunch of pretty good alphabet beltholders that were either past it when he fought them or weren't anything special in the 1st place. If you can name anyone in the same realm as those 2 that he beat, you would be writing fantasy. In fact, considering his boxing IQ and lack of fundamentals, Hamed gets shut out against Sanchez, as the 1st time Hamed whacks Sal and the expression on Sal's face doesn't even change, Hamed gets frustrated and KNOWS he's in for a rather long, long night.

    When he grew into featherweight, Pedroza wasn't kod and beat fighters far greater than anyone Hamed beat. And if you saw the Sanchez-Ford and Cowdell fights(neither of whom fight anything like Hamed), you would know they weren't as close as the dissenters voted in both fights. Hamed may have been the hardest puncher of the 3, but that doesn't translate into victory. Chava was whacked by Little Red, Gomez and Nelson and the look on his face barely changed. Imagine him against technically challenged and boxing IQ invisible Hamed, and I see the Little prince going home with his tail between his legs. Just for the record, if you saw Sanchez-Nelson, then you have seen a great fight between 2 great fighters even though that was Azumah's 14th fight. I'm certain that that version of Azumah would have thoroughly embarassed any version of Hamed.

    No. If you look at their stages in their respective careers and records when he fought them, none of them were anything special at that time.
