I remember seeing an interview where Floyd Mayweather said he idolised Naz Hamed.....

:rofl:rofl

 

An accumulation of clean sharp unanswered counter punches, causing Manny to throw in the towel? If you think that's a laughable outcome in a 2001 match-up between Mayweather and Hamed (we'll say @ 130), then YDKSAB. :good

 

35 fights took the flushest shots off big punchers and was never even close to being stopped, never took a knee, never put his hand on the canvas "cuz it hurt" never spent more then a second on the canvas,.... onli a ******ed fanboy would say he would have got stopped.

 

name me 1 fighter mayweather fought with the defensive reflexes of hamed? he never took more then 3-4 punches at a time in his whole career,

 

The **** he got away with against slower less accurate fighters would not have made him untouchable to Mayweather. Meanwhile, he'd find himself completely unable to land any of his wild daredevil bombs.

PBF would get hit a lot less than MAB did, and land a lot more.

(and this coming from an admitted MAB fanboy...)

 

i think u should go back, look at some of the guys hamed fought, and then see what they achieved/what weight they fought at after losing to him. there was a ebu guy he fought for his 11th fight who went on and got robbed of a world title against a top guy, there was medina who became champ, he never fought guys at the end of there careers.

 

I never said he only fought cans. I recognize that he was able to beat some good fighters sheerly on the basis of his athletic talent.

I said he never fought a Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd would have really exposed his lack of skills (to back up that talent) even more starkly than Barrera did. :good

 

When you think of it alot of fighters has alot of learn from naz.
It's not only about knocking people out but it's also about creating an event. Even though he wasn't the best boxer he was most certainly one of the most entertaining fighters to watch.

He brought the whole package and made headlines for himself. Boxing needs headlines good or bad. The K-bros need to bite someones ear off and **** in their face so the heavyweight division wakes the **** up. Preferable naked.

 

Edison Miranda hit harder than most fighters he fought too....

Watch Kevin Kelly fight

 

all flash/off balance knockdowns.

 

So did Corrales, Gatti, Judah and Hatton...

 

Wanted*

 

Fact remains, Kev hit him and he went down.

KK was a good fighter. Mayweather - in his prime then - was a great. Far sharper, he'd have had no trouble finding Naz flush when Naz was off balance (which was, you know, always).
