did he show he was finished in his final fight or was it the in activity what made him fight so poor.
There were a lot of elite fighters around the weight at the time. The reason he took on Barrera was because he thought he was in the slide after the Jones and Morales losses. Had Hamed come back he'd have been thrown to the sharks lurking at that level and he knew it. I think he thought it better to not fight again and have people suspect he'd lose to MAB, Moralea etc. rather than actually fight them and remove all doubt.
Prime Hamed beats barerra every time And barerra is an atg Marquez ducked him Morales vs Hamed would be a classic
He can now, and one-up this fella: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=497062 74lb leap between matches = untouchable.
Yeah, i thing so. He's like Pacquiao but hit harder and has a shakier chin. I believe he would of lost, won a few with a few controversies a long the way and made a name for himself as a star in this sport.Had he not quit he would be a campaigning at 140 pounds max and probably win 3 weight divisions world championships.
