    I doubt it, but the version who didn't believe in his own bullsh!t hype would have put up a better showing than the arrogant little pr!ck that did show up on the night.

    Hamed would get slaughtered against Marquez. The ultimate stylistic nightmare.
    I think prime Hamed would have been most likely to beat Morales and MAB-Hamed would have been a more or less an even fight.

    Hamed was a big puncher who was well matched and seriously over-rated. The truly elite group of Marquez, Morales, Barrera and Pacquiao all trounce any so-called 'peak' version of Hamed, Pacquiao extremely violently.

    Doubt it. One fighter was simply better schooled than the other.

    The " peak " version of Hamed was more than capable of switching Pacuiao off with one shot from either hand. Lets not make out that the Fillipino was indestructible ffs.

    The prime naz would have stood MB on his head .by the time they met naz had stopped training and had his brothers had taken over he was a shadow of his former self yet he still went the distance.

    Yeah, he might beat Barrera at his prime or even in a rematch. He didn't lose the actual fight by very much. 3 points on two of the cards, and those were justifiable scores. It's boxing.

    Barrera is a more skilled pocket technican than either of them.

    AT 126 pounds he damn near was indestructible. That is Pacquiaos best weight.

    He only had 3 fights at 126, and drew 1 of them.

    Against the MAB of their actual fight? I don't personally think so, no.

    I think Hamed would've always fell short had he fought MAB, Morales, Pacquiao and JMM.

    Especially JMM - Hamed is tailor made for JMM's counter punching. I see Hamed getting dropped a few times in that ine.
