    Hamed easily. Far more talented and (KT excepted) better quality of opponents beaten. Hamed is often shat on because he was such a ****!


    Sometimes it pays to be nice!:D

    Hamed was clearly the better fighter, with the better resume and the greater accomplishments.

    The answer is obviously Hamed.

    The Prince who only lost to himself( lazy and started to believe he was invincible) and quit too early and went down the pan as a result.
    No doubt that Ricky will be the more popular with the fans but in terms of technique it's poles apart and comparing an artisan to a cowboy..

    Tough one. Went with Ricky thought, losing to two of P4P No1's is a real achievement considering his ability.

    Nas thought destroyed better fighters, but he thought he was a god who couldn't be beat, stopped train, got a camp full of 'yes' men. Basicly wasted his last few years beleaving his own hype. Shame, he could of been a real legend.

    You clearly know nothing about this subject. Hamed has the better resume, and its not even close.

    I go Naz... I truly believe he had the potential to be the best ever British p4p boxer, he just decided to chuck it all away at the exact time when legends are born - their 1st loss - he was 1 of the best 122 lbers of all time ability wise IMO... an utter tragedy that he & Morales never fought... I blame Barrera:smoke

    It's not my job to edcuate you in matters of boxing.

    You should probably reaserch the subject before you start talking **** about something you clearly know nothing about.

    Hamed's resume:

    Vuyani Bungu - world champ - 14 defences
    Steve Robinson - world title holder
    Cesar Soto - world title holder
    Wayne McCullough - world title holder
    Wilfredo Vasqeuez - 3-weight world champ
    Kevin Kelley - 2-time world champ
    Paul Ingle - world title holder
    Tom Johnson - world champ - 10 defences

    Then you have second tier guys like Alicea, Sanchec etc.

    :patsch You're listing guys on Hatton's resume who he got brutally KO'd by. You clearly don't understand the concept of a resume. This is comedy gold.
