    Hamed that fought Badillo would KO Pac but the poor Hamed that showed up against MAB gets KO'd by PAC.

    I'm a fan of both fighters!

    It's very tough to call.

    And Boom, Hamed didn't have a bad chin -- he was down multiple times in his career, but nearly all of them were due to bad balance that stemmed from his highly strange style. If anything, Hamed had a remarkably good chin, and I rarely ever saw him hurt.

    I think this fight would be great to watch. I forsee Pac knocking Hamed down at least 2 - 3 times, but eventually losing via KO as Hamed lands one of his crushing bombs around round 4/5.

    This is one fight I will bet my house on, not watch the fight during fight time and just sleep comfortably.

    Pac by KO.

    As far as I remember Barrera hit Hamed mostly with one-two combos, but he didn“t follow up too much because he knew it was dangerous to chase Hamed. Pacman would probably try to get on the inside - a VERY BAD strategy against Naz! I see Hamed winning this one.

    Ok folks, enough of this Mexican-Philippines fiasco... Get over with it. Bautista is really more of a prospect (with a chin issue), Ponce is a heavy-handed primitive monster, Penalosa is a solid crappy, skilled veteran who can crack some ribs if he is 118 and Gonzales is cursed with being KOd when he is leading the scorecards... :lol:

    Now, cast your vote and give out your sensible thoughts here...:yep

    I truly believe Hamed stops him. Naseem had ridiculous power for that weight class and Pacman comes straight in. I doubt Nas would have had trouble slipping and countering the 1 2 combo from Pacman and landing something solid.

    Not a knock on pacman at all I just think stylistically it would be a terrible match for him.

    Agreed. Hamed is an unorthodox beast with power who can knock anyone cold coming straight to his way.

    Has Hamed faced any fighter with the combination of speed and power of Pac?

    And has Pac faced any heavy puncher in the league of Hamed? Or atleast near that league since Hamed is obviously a great Ko artist.
