He lacked elite skill. He was a guy that always got by on power and when he finally got to the level where POWER alone wouldnt get it done? He got embarrassed and RAN AWAY. Not the sign of an ATG Champ. Whats his best win? Kevin Kelly? How could anything he did make him ATG?
This aint personal:nono Everyone can have opinions but mine are mostly based on FACT:good Hamed is no exception. HE WAS CLOWNED BY MAB There's no other way to put it, thats the definition of EXPOSED. Because he was such a puncher he never developed the skills to balance out his game. Again, MAB, EM, PAC, and JMM and the like would ****ing kill him over and over.Hamed was a one dimensional fighter.
My man there's always over rated fighters. Yes Harrison is another one but he comes no where close to the hype and attention Hamed recieved. Audley's a bigger joke than Hamed even, but you wont see any threads about was Harrison under rated, someday.
Yes but Mab beat him at his own game I have seen all of hamed fights and he's a counterpuncher not a brawler he likes some one to come on to him. It shows how MAB was in his prime because he changed his style and it worked like a charm.
The difference is MAB can box, he's sound technically, and knows how to utilize it. Thats why when confronted with a loudmouth, one dimensional, power puncher he made EASY WORK of him. Hamed never spent enough time or effort developing his skills and you cant just change overnight. He was able to get away with his unorthodox and technically poor style because of his power. UNTIL THE ELITE LEVEL. Like I said Hamed was a B level Brawler with A level power at a low weight.
No. In fact a lot of people just overrates this clown. They think he is an RJJ in the lower division. And i totally disagree with those who said that a 100% Naz will ko Barrera.. Barrera beats Naz 9 out of 10.
Is that why Hamed ran away? Rather than be 100% and prove it? C'mon man.. please dont make excuses for him. You seem like a better man than that:good Again Hamed got what he was going to get with elites because HE WASNT ONE OF THEM.
I like the guy. Very entertaining, and I would have loved to see him beat up more stiffs instead of quit after fighting MAB. But it is what it is...
I mean I was 12 years old and my dad took me to see him fight in manchester. It was my first fight and it lasted all of one round thats when his power was amazing and he was at his peak.
