    In one of the greatest match up never to have been made Prince Naseem Hamed and Floyd Mayweather Jnr's careers passed eachother by, but who do you think would have won this forgotten super bout?

    Although nearly everyone will go with Floyd, those who saw naz in his prime will remember a man with endless talent who could take his opponent out at any time with either hand and was so awkwardly unconventional he would cause problems for any textbook athlete such as little Floyd.


    whatever the outcome, this would have been a fascinating fight to see what they made of eachother.

    Any thoughts?

    Nas was too flawed to beat a technician like PBF. He struggled with MAB he would get schooled by PBF.:deal

    Floyd would stop him at 126 lbs, to accurate, versatile and big for hamed.

    It would look like Floyd's fight against Corrales except that Naz is smaller so Mayweather would engage more. Steward throws in the towel late.

    Flyod by KTFO. Floyd would beat Naz at his own game.

    Yea fair enough, but nas got schooled by MAB when he didnt train properly. There's no way floyd would engage wiv him, naz would have taken his head off.

    I think Hamed is too awkward to get KO'd. He'd stink it up. Floyd wide UD.

    cheers mate, ive never seen that before. I didnt even know floyd put his name forward to fight Naz. I'm really not sure who would have won.

    But another thing I'd say is, Merchant don't know what the **** he's talking about.

    But do you really disagree?

    Mayweather offered to fight at a catchweight, but Naz was already fighting a division or two about his weight class...Mayweather would have been too big, and Naz knew it.

    I think people forget emanuel stewart took nas out his elemant and tried to make him a boxer he lost his awkwardness and became a really hard punching amature

    Barerra nor floyd beats him easily, **** barerra dosent even beat him pre stewart
    if floyd beats him he rough his ass up up if not floyd gets ko
    but its obvious floyd does whats needed to win after 41
