If he had been pushed on early in his career, had not wasted time defending the WBC International Belt and when he reached the top he had kept motivated, conditioned and took advice. Imagine: 93 - Super Fly - Johnny Bredahl 94- Bantam - Rafael Del Valle 95 - SBW - Kennedy McKinney 95-2000 - FW - Kept to the same schedule, but faced Barrera a lot earlier and took on Morales 2001 - SFW - Joel Casamayor 2002 - LW - Artur Grigorian 2003 - 2004 - 2 to 3 mega fights Retire in 2004 at the top
OK have a laugh, but where do you disagree? I presume you agree with the Super Fly, Bantam & SBW, but disagree a prime motivated and condition Hamed would beat a Barrera or Morales
Hamed wasnt in the same league as Pacman and he got schooled by Barrera, hence it is all lofty speculation.
Hamed;s character wasn't or isn't able to handle defeat, Manny has continued to defy the odds and better himself after what could or should of been devastating defeats. To become a champion is one thing to stay a champion is another and Hamed didn't do what the great fighters do..he never bounced back from defeat. I don't think rushing him would of made any difference his style was flawed against the well schooled technicians imo.
All ifs and buts... at the end of the day you are what you are, and you are judged on what you do. Nas was a great fighter but he fell short, the reasons for that don't really matter.
I loved Naz, he was great entertainment and lit up British Boxing in his own unique way...:yep Naz had never really fought anyone who could fight him on the outside foot all night long...:yep. MAB adopted that style and did a number on Naz...:deal
Naz would have proclaimed himself the greatest fighter ever,and he would have let each and every person who ever came within 3 million miles of him know! The Mayweathers would have said he was a drug cheat and taking some kind of drug that those "ay-rebs over in afghanistan in dem caves n sh*t" take to bounce off bunker busting bombs, thats why nobody can ko him.
