Mayweather Jr Vs Naseem Hamed

Someone who knows what they are talking about.

 

Mayweather by TKO round 9. Hamed was one of my favorite fighters to watch but Mayweather is on a different level. Hamed's unorthodox way of fighting would have been countered by Floyd's skill and abilities and Floyd would have figured him out and took over in the mid rounds.

 

Because Hamed only fought 1 great fighter and he got beat badly.

MAB got beat by pac, but he also had several other good wins against several figthers, Hamed included.

 

Hamed was 5'4... stop playing.

 

These two almost similar in unlikely-attitude fighting each other could be very interesting, but I would root Floyd far away to win an easy UD or even a mid-round stoppage.

 

This fight could've never happened because Hamed was fighting at 126 and Mayweather at 130.

But anyways...Mayweather TKO6.

 

yep

Mayweather is 5"8
Hamed is 5"4

 

Just watching a Hamed fight just now, say what you like about him, but he was excellent for boxing, such a showman in and out of the ring.

 

PBF all day..

 

PBF isn't knocking out Naz. Naz doesn't have a weak chin, unlike Ricky Fatton. I see a PBF UD, or NAZ late round TKO (being desperate and going for it).

 

You guys in this thread that are saying Hamed gets knocked out by Floyd, no way, not even at 130. Granted knockdowns would happen, but Nas would not get knocked out, especially in his prime.

However, Floyd would still take this UD, but he would be shook in the process.

 

Man, imagine a 24/7 series devoted to these two...it would be utter madness.

Hamed is often underrated due to a mixture of things. Firstly, his personality, which made people want to literally kill him. He was so cocky and flashy that Mayweather would pick up some tips just from being around him, and he made people hate him and tune in just to see him get brutally knocked out. Secondly, the fact that he's British. Thirdly, the way he retired after getting outboxed by Barrera and then having a final lackluster match that ended in a UD.

The people who worship Hamed say that he was far past his prime when he fought Barrera, and that prime for prime he would KO him. The people who hate him say that he lost to the first good fighter he ever faced, and that he was a joke. As usual, the truth lies somewhere between these two foolish extremes. Hamed, in his prime and united with Ingle, would have given Barrera a far harder time -- I'm not saying he would KO him, but he wouldn't have been outboxed so badly either seeing as he would have those lightning reflexes/swaying style at their peak. And no, Barrera was not the first 'good' fighter he ever fought -- Barrera was the first ALL TIME GREAT that he ever fought. Hamed had been dominating world class people for a long time before the match-up happened, and the Hamed from the Robinson fight would have given Barrera all kinds of trouble due to the variety of angles, the speed, the utterly unorthodox style and of course, the power. Hamed was also 'mentally shot', if that makes sense -- he had become so in love with his power that he figured all he had to do was just show up to win (most likely due to the way his power bailed him out in the Kelley clash) and instead of training he was shown, in the buildup to the fight, to be playing on the playstation and concentrating on his haircut.

In terms of a fight with Floyd Mayweather, I'll take Mayweather via points. Hamed was never knocked out, and the only time he was knocked down was due to bad balance because of his strange limbo-dancing like style. He would be able to take Mayweather's shots. Mayweather, on the other hand, is so technically brilliant that Hamed would land very few real punches on him. Trying to hit Mayweather is often like trying to hit a ghost -- he's a defensive genius. Thing is, Hamed's power was absolutely frightening at that weight, and so Mayweather would have to be extra careful not to take a big one, because it would most likely be lights out if he did. Let's also remember that Mayweather was more agressive at the lower weights -- closer to a boxer-puncher than a pure boxer -- and that people coming in against Hamed often found themselves flat on their back wondering what just happened. All that being said, though, I take Mayweather via UD. Hamed was only ever beaten (although a tad past his prime) through clinical outboxing on the back foot, and Mayweather is a far better boxer and ten times more elusive than Barrera. It would be interesting to see, though, just because of the almost amusing style clash -- one guy is one of the most technically sound purist boxers of all time, and the other guy has possibly the most unorthodox style of all time. Definitely interesting.

 

"OUTBOXER"---- superb post ----its like you knew him----arrogant little ****er---but OH SO GOOD FOR BOXING------became a household name overnight...

 

This has got to be a joke...I don't even like PBF....but he takes this in a landslide (I like Hamed...just don't consider him elite)

 

Hamed Vs Mayweather? Floyd by death. Hamed wouldn't stand a chance. ****ing JOKE!
