This is the dream match up .. hopefully Hamzah captures a world title at 168lbs , then the move upto 175 would be the clash of the hitters .. Hamzah would be very comfortable at 175lbs .. It's all about young fighters mixing it up now ..
Benavidez would bulldoze Sheeraz into an early KO, even Turki knows this. This is a mismatch. Threads like this prove that Hamzah Sheeraz is genuinely a complete hype job. Sheeraz is an illusion, a carefully created fraud whose power is magnified by his opposition's inability to take a punch - on top of his checkered record where he has basically got two losses on his record against Skeete and Adames.
Why do you dislike Hamzah that much? He's coming off a draw that should have been a loss with a confidence building Berlanga win. Let him smooth out some flaws before you send him in against the Mexican monster.
Lol Hamzah is a real one will fight anyone .. he won't stay at 168 too long maybe 3 fights then he moving upto 175.. This is the future fight for Hamzah in about 18 months , that's enough time for him and Andy Lee to refine his game ..
Sheeraz is mediocre. British level. Benavidez stops him and makes it look easy. This fight would NEVER happen.
Not a fan of sheeraz but this wouldn't be a mismatch. Benavidez wouldn't bully him and Sheeraz is a good counter puncher and with genuine KO power, but Benavidez fights at a higher level and would likely overwhelm Sheeraz and stop him late
Hamzah even at 175 would have the size and reach advantage.. my point also being Hamzah is really a 175 guy .. but all in time .. he got some work to do at 168 first .. All I'm saying this is the fight I want to see him in the future ..
