Barrera is a legitimate HOF legend and that was him at his peak. He wasn't even in trouble at any point, even though Hamed clearly wasn't at his peak at that stage. A prime, motivated Hamed toys with and dispatches Barrera.

 

More excuses for his loss. Nothing new there. Actually so called prime Hamed had problems with guys that were Mabs inferior. Considering Hamed's lack of a boxing IQ, MAB would always be his daddy.

 

Hamed had great physical gifts but always had a low boxing IQ. He couldn't overcome his lack of IQ and technical skills against a technical master like MAB. Also, if you followed his career, they you would have known that A. he was always a lazy trainer and B. always eschewed roadwork, preferring to spar instead. He was just embarrassed by his daddy.

 

I've seen the doc. There's nothing new there. Hamed was always lazy. He hated roadwork, preferring to spar. He was known for that. But hey, you want to rewrite history and make more excuses for him, feel free. It's not like you're the 1st to do that.

 

Yes, and that's my point. This was not prime Hamed. He had one lackluster fight after this and then retired. He was not passionate about boxing at this stage.

 

Your conclusion unfortunately means zilch because you are one of the board minnows.

 

27 years old? Close enough. Ever consider the possibility that he knew MAB was his better going in? Nah that theory couldn't work because he's English, right? There are ALWAYS excuses with him. ALWAYS

 

Years of age has little to do with it. It was all about his dedication in training and his love of the sport. As has been pointred out, even his own trainer said the training camp was **** prior to the fight.

 

He was ALWAYS lazy. ALWAYS. His having a **** camp before MAB is his MO. There's nothing new there lol.
