First of all it's Picard, not "Pick"ard. Second of all, if we're comparing the Barrera version of Hamad against Inoue, it's no comparison. Inoue was way better than the shopworn / drained version of Hamed who fought Barrera. That was the worst version of Hamed ever, and he still was somewhat competitive against Barrera in a losing effort. To do the comparison, we need to look the Prince when he was at his best, or at least before he was 1 fight away from retiring.
Hamad was over rated. Never beat a truly great fighter and quit before the Mexicans and Pac took over.
This content is protected Damn, I should know better as I watched the Next Generation a lot. Also that's the name of a whole new series, I saw one episode and he was way too old. Any version of Hamed is just too open and sloppy for the footwork, jab and precision of Inoue. Most likely scenario is he walks or jumps right into a ko, putting even more power on the shot.
Agreed, Barrera exposed all of the weaknesses in his opponent. Naz, hit a wall in that fight and just didn't know how to deal with it.
Why are we using that version of Naz to compare to Inoue? Are you aware that Naz blew up in weight before Barrera and had to pretty much starve himself and spend fight week in the Sauna to make weight? He was completely drained of energy, and despite this, he still was somewhat competitive against Barrera. It's dishonest to pretend like Barrera had some magic formula to beat Naz. Yes Barrera was a great fighter, but the Prince's condition going into that match was a big reason why he lost. If we're gonna talk about who was the better fighter, then lets talk about who was better at their best not at their worst. When we compare fighters to RJJ, no one compares the RJJ that got KO'd by Tarver or Glen Johnson, they look at RJJ when he was P4P best and dominating everyone from MW to LHW. If you have to point to Hamed's performance against Barrera in order to argue that Inoue is better, that says a lot about who was really better. If we're comparing the Prince's early days to Inoue's early days, it's pretty clear that Hamed was the far more athletically gifted and dangerous fighter. When it comes to fundamentals, you could say Inoue is more fundamentally sound, in the same way people say Hopkins was more fundamentally sound than RJJ, who broke the rules but objectively was a far better fighter in his prime than Hopkins was. The prince in his prime, before he started slowing down towards the end of his career, before Barrera was about as dominant as you could possibly be. So who was better, not the past his best Prince who fought Barrera, but from his debut to his peak.
You ain't meant to And even stupid is still right He quit as the competition heated up Calvo must of patched up his confidence eh
Naz crapped his pants against Soto ffs and should've been DQ'd, a one eyed Kelley had him, Barrera made him look silly. Inoue would ruin him. The love for Naz really needs to chill
