    Not only he lost his biggest fight against Barrera but he retired from boxing too early as well.

    Pacquiao lost his biggest fight so did Wilfred Gomez so did Tommy Hearns so did Wilfred Benitez so did Eder Jofre etc etc... so by your moronic logic those guys don't belong in the hall of fame. Log Off.

    lol! Those guys looked far better than Hamed did v Barrera, are you seriously comparing Hearns performance v Leonard or Hagler to how Hamed looked v Barrera?

    Hearns went onto to become a 5 weight world champ, what the hell did Hamed do by comparison?

    Manny went onto become a legend at welter doubt Hamed would have gone on to do the same.

    Pacquiao won most of his biggest fights & then some while doing the unthinkable time & time again vowing even the most critical critiques out there & the one fight that your referencing that came too late wasn't even a blowout considering all the circumstances that went within that particular fight not to mention his injury as well as being well past in the stage of his Career at that point so your comparison doesn't equate.

    Dude are you mentally ill? I wasn't even criticizing Pac why you all defensive and ****? Second time with this crap it's like I offended a member of your family are you that big of a fangirl. I'm a Pac fan FFS. It's cause of dudes like you that Pac fans get a bad rep.

    And he 100% deserved it.

    On another note, poor Gatti always gets mercilessly butchered in these threads, unfairly so in my humble opinion

    Hard to "go on" to do anything when you're basically shot by that point... Which Hamed was - his hands were ruined by that point, which nothing was going to fix (the struggle to make weight for the MAB fight you can blame on indiscipline and not training hard enough if you wish, but his hands being ruined there's absolutely nothing that could be done about that).

    It's very easy to point at the MAB fight as if it proves Hamed was a never-was, but he was in pretty terrible shape for it - had that fight happened a year or two earlier it would have been much more competitive IMHO.

    Putting that aside, Hamed was a really different and entertaining fighter with a style that's almost impossible to emulate with any degree of success - that uniqueness makes him interesting and worthy of HOF even if his physical flaws meant his career was shorter than most, IMHO, but I'm fine with anyone disagreeing, he was and always will be one that divides opinion.

    Pacquaio fought & beat my friend Antonio Margarito Floyd was terrified of Antonio & nearly had a coronary when he saw him standing in front of him LOL. He went into hysterics blabbering like Daffy Duck. What would Floyd have done if he saw Antonio across the ring from him banging his gloves together waiting for the bell for round one ??? LOL That would never happen Floyd had the skills but sadly lacked the cojones a real champion also needed

    Yeah. His PPV with Floyd raked in 340k buys which is pretty impressive back in 2005, considering it was a huge mismatch. No doubt he was very popular with the boxing public.

    I know he was popular with causal fans.

    After all, it's called the Hall of "FAME", not the Hall of Accomplishments.
