Emmanuel Steward on JMM vs Hamed

This. everyone knows steward doesnt like Nas anymore. He prolly made this **** up. If Naz was willing to face a prime Barrera, why not Marquez? doesnt make sense.

 

It's a well known fact JMM wanted to fight hamed for awhile,as he was hamed's #1 contender for a couple of years.Hamed's HBO lowballed JMM and offered the fight to happen within a month.That was the only hamed offer,meaning he wasn't serious in the 1st place.That's it.Marquez is still angry about the fact that hamed wanted NOTHING to do with JMM and ducked the **** out of him,which is chronicled in a Ring interview with JMM from just a couple of years ago.As far as Barrera is concerned,MAB had been stopped by Junior Jones at bantam just a couple of years before.In other words,hamed thought Barrera would be easy pickings which is EXACTLY why he challenged MAB.

 

The fellow in your avatar would have absolutely TOYED with hamed.Hamed would have been embarrassed to the highest degree.:good

 

IM not so sure, HAmed with a punch could send JMM to the canvas for good. He had that much power. And JMM has been prone to touch the canvas. Its a good fight.

 

Laughing so hard now because that video reminds what a ****ing ******* hamed was and how hard I was laughing when Barrera beat his ass.

 

you dont have to use another account divac:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I know.He lost his urge to fight after he got his ass handed to him when he finally grew the stones to fight an elite.How about the possibility that he lost his urge to fight because he knew that he would have gotten embarrassed against the other elite Mexicans that he ducked.

 

Let me destroy this nonsense. Everyone forgets that at the time Marquez was Naz' mandatory he was an unknown Mexican who would go on to lose to the glass chinned Freddie Norwood. There was no money in the fight. Marquez had never had a big payday so what Naz offered him was a career high payday and he rejected it! He was an unknown. He thought he could get more but was never gonna get more as nobody knew him. Remember also the trouble a pumped up super bantamweight gave him. Pacquiao was tiny back then yet broke Marquez' nose and dropped him 3 times. Naz hit ten times harder than Pacquiao and remember also that the so called great Marquez was also soundly outboxed by the Indonesian Chris John. He didn't deserve a fight with Naz as he had beaten nobody of merit to earn a shot and went on to lose to Norwood who then went on to get ko'd by Derrick Gainer! The same gainer that lost in 3 rds to Diego Corrales and was iced by Kevin Kelley with one eye. Gainer also later ran like hell from Marquez. Naz would've starched Marquez. And finally, why would HBO help Naz duck Marquez but thought him good enough to destroy the much better Marco Antonio Barrera? HBO didn't know Marquez back then.

Steward may have advised Naz to steer clear of Marquez, but Naz still made him a very good offer which shows Naz ignored Stewards advice.

 

Alot of people still to this day believe Norwood got a gift decision in that fight, that said if at that time, ("The turn of the century") a real offer was made like you say, he should have taken the offer and fought NAZ because honestly Marquez would have beaten Hamed pretty decisively in my opinion. But if memory serves, Steward did say that he wanted nothing to do with JMM, and everybody knew why once Barrera exposed him, and that says a heck of alot right there.

And JMM got robbed against John. And when NAZ was the man at FW break down his resume, and ask yourself who did he really beat, that wasn't old.

 

I thought Barrera beat Marquez and Hamed was not a crude come forward fighter.

 

Barrera did beat Marquez. That was an example of a guy on the way up getting a gift decision over a guy on the way down. Harold had Barrera winning too.

 

I don't know the ducking situation. But I'd pick Marquez in that time to beat Naz everyday. Time has shown - he's a much more accomplished boxer. I'd see Marquez doing exactly to Naz what MAB did

 

oh so Marquez was robbed in every fight he had I guess then. Lol. You Marquez fanboys make me laugh. There was no controversy in his losses to John and Norwood. Marquez also should've lost in the first Pacquiao fight. The judge who scored a draw made a mistake in how he scored the first round knockdowns.
Remember that in 2000 Marquez was not much of a boxer, he was more of a fighter. He hasn't got a great chin. Naz would catch him and knock him out if he boxed as he did vs Bungu.

 

You need to be a fool in order to think that hamed can beat JMM.
