    Floyd for the win. The prince did to much show boating in the ring which would of been is down fall, not to mention Floyd is the better fighter between the two.

    Yeh, I seen him fight corrales and also seen him loose to Castillo at Lightweight.

    Then I seen him loose to Delahoya at the higher weight.

    Lets not get carried away here, with all due respect the Prince was on a different level to Chico.

    What, so these 3 bouts bring you to the conclusion that Hamed would beat Mayweather?
    All 3 mentioned were bigger/alot bigger than Hamed...so that comparison is terrible.

    The Corrales performance was dominant from Mayweather, against a supposedly "dangerous" opponent. The most I could give Castillo in the first bout was a draw, it was a close bout that could go either way. De la Hoya didn't even come close to beating Mayweather, it was a clear UD.

    I'd say bang is an exageration. He couldn't take guys out for the most part, it was more accumulation

    you guys are ****ing deluded

    when the prince lost to barrera he came into the fight with zero interest, and was out of shape, and looked terrible in training, emmanuel steward repeatedly threatened to walk out of training camp because of the prince's lax approach...he was basically out of love with boxing by this stage

    this was years after he had knocked the **** out of all those put before him, and repeatedly offered his title to Mayweather, Corralles etc, with everyone declining to face him at the peak of his powers.....George Foreman famously commentated on this himself, with many touting the prince as the most extraordinary fighter since a young muhammad ali.....

    im not saying he did enough in his career to be regarded as one of the GOAT, because he lost desire far too quickly, but people underrate the prince too much because of the loss to barrera...

    a peak hamed murders barrera, and in regards to mayweather, i dont think anyone beats a prime prince naseem hamed at 128 lbs

    Those guys were twice the size as Hamed, Hamed's underrated around here but your only picking him because you and him are of the same faith, he doesn't stand a chance here

    I'm Hamed's biggest fan, and yes people do underrate him on this forum at times. But no-one who is picking Mayweather to beat Hamed at 128lbs is underrating Hamed.

    Hamed said on numerous occasions he would fight anyone, but not once if I remember rightly did he offer Mayweather or Corrales a bout. The only time I remember him talking about Mayweather was when he was long retired.

    And I think it was Uncle Rico who posted earlier in this thread...when Hamed was asked if he would fight Mayweather up at 128lbs, his response was, 'How much higher do you want me to go?' (or something along those lines). He was a small guy, fighting bigger guys...and Mayweather was a lot bigger.
