    Who woulda won this? McKinney Claims in 1998 he offered Hamed a fight at 122 for his Wbo belt and said he would go up to 126 if Hamed wanted it but Hamed didnt.

    Yup....McKinneys always talking about Hamed avoiding him despite "KING" not being in the same division and Hamed fighting people who beat him, including Bungu.

    I think McKinneys chin would withstand Hameds power,And Kennedy had ko power as well in his right hand.

    hamed would have been devastating at bantam and super bantam.

    he was so much better in shape when he was at those divisions , and with perhaps the exception of mckinney and jones most of the fighters were all shorter than those he faced at feather.

    hamed also hit the proverbial ton at bantam and super bantam.

    there was an argie liendo i think his name was never stopped or knocked down in over 50 fights.

    hamed damn near decapitated him with a left hook, before the ref unwisely let it go on and 1 second later liendo was spark out counting sheep all the way back to argentina.

    same with never stopped freddy cruz eyc etc.

    in fact warren looked for the toughest chins he could find yet hamed ko`d them all early .

    i really would have liked to have seen hamed stay at bantam, instead of moving up when the robinson fight came along.

    but hamed was ruined by his brothers , whispering in his ear taking him away from ingle, and the fact hamed barely trained properly for fights.

    hamed ko`s mckinney who was way to open to power shots.
