Let's Settle This Once and For All: Pacquaio vs Hamed

hmm says Pac...
Pac looks a lot more stronger and aggressive.. Hamed looks to me like a showboat and his defense uhhh is kinda lacking. Mainly Hamed's d is more of a slickster style but can get caught. Remember the Barrera fight..he just kept hopping around. I don't think Pac would fall for any of Hamed's tricks and physically Pac has the advantage.

 

The only thing to be settled here is if Hamed can hear the final bell or no.

 

I voted for Hamed at 126lb, which is where this fight would obviously take place if we're talking prime for prime. Both Manny and Hamed got their best respective wins as Featherweights.

Manny Pacquiao, during this time, was not incredible hard to hit. Marquez exposed this, by repeatedly landing the right hand and beating Pacquiao to the punch during their first fight in 2004. Naseem Hamed, for all for his flaws, could punch with some of the hardest hitting 126lb fighters in history, along with Salvador Sanchez and Danny Lopez. He had true one punch power, and I see him hitting the reckless and defensively crude Manny Pacquiao during some point of the bout. It's true, Hamed is just as hittable, if not more so, but he was not facing a one punch knockout artist.

I think a war ensues, where both fighter stake their licks, and despite perhaps having to get off the canvas to do it, Hamed knocks Manny out late in the fight. What a war.

 

Pac would shatter Hamed's Glass Jaw all over the ring.

 

Id favour Naz to win at either Bantam, Super Bantam or Featherweight in his prime years of course, the one that fought Barrera would get beaten convincingly, but Naz in his Ingle years was a different fighter and Pacman wasnt in his prime years at this stage.

 

Hamed was invincible and indeed looked like a defense wizard against slow fighters but Barrera made him looked silly. IMO, a much faster prime Pac (than Barrera) would brutalized Hamed and KO him within 6 rds. The Pac who stopped Barrera in the first fight would stop him (Hamed) earlier unless he was hit first by Hamed's more powerful shots as Hamed would not need too many of those shots to stop Pac.

 

How does Hamed have a glass jaw when hes never been knocked out?

I think you should check chinipedia on that one Rico.

 

Pac was far more open in his 126 days....Naz would be getting battered then catch Pac with a signle shot, hurt him, and finish him.

Anything above FW and not only does Naz look out of place, he loses.

 

He was also never close to being genuinely hurt in his entire career!

He barely got a glove laid on him until late on in his 126 lb career.

 

Hamed

 

Intense pressure U joker.

Barrera didnt put any pressure till the last 2 rounds ROFL

Barrera fooled everyone and counter punched, thats what won him the fight.

His punch output was the lowest it had ever been, he knew he couldnt make a mistake for 1 second or hed be KOD with some wild ****.



BArrera boxed a counterpunching masterclass. If hed pressuered Hamed hed have been KOD without doubt. A pressure fighter doesnt beat Hamed and exceptional counter pucnher does.

Thats why I pick Hamed over Pacman (narrowly) Morales but I think Marquez BArrera beat him. The early version of Barrera gets KOD all day long.

 

:happy
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Morales can counterpunch better than barrera in my opinion.

 

i'm a big morales fan, i have his entire career on dvd. but he was more liable to get into a fire fight than barrera, which is why i dont think it's such a stretch to say (as the hamed appologists do) that hamed could score a ko over morales.

 

peak NAZ wins
