I guess the question is more, would you expect Pacquiao to stop Naz? Playing this on FNC and keep getting my ass knocked down by MP. I'd love this fight if Naz hadn't got too big headed. It would've been a really great clash.
Pacquiao is the much better fighter. Stylistically, it's a tough one to imagine because both are unorthodox and haven't faced elite opposition with a similar style as the other. I'd just go with a Pacquiao win, possibly by stoppage, and leave it at that.
Naz got embarrassed by a guy that Pac outclassed. Pretty easy decision here, Naz isn't even on Pacs level.
Ali loses to Frazier in 1971 Frazier basketballed by Foreman in 1973 Ali beats the **** out of Foreman 1974 Agree with the prediction but not the logic
Wait!!!:huh I thought Hamed beat Barrera [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZkF9E4hr0I[/ame] :rofl:roflatsch
ESBers falling for the Triangle-theory in boxing, againatsch Let it be said that the MAB that fought Pac was not the MAB that fought Hamed. This is not as easy as it looks. Pac had enough Flaws at 126 that Hamed would have been able to exploit. I always go back and forth on this one!
I personally hope that Pacquiao would come in like a professional with a solid game plan because if Naz lands correctly on any fighter it could be lights out. Not a man to take liberties with.
Not falling for it, I was pointing out the difference in class between the two fighters. Pac is ATG, Barrera is HOF, while Hamed is overrated.
yep, barrera's training got interrupted by a fire and he has surgery in his head. surely barrera would smash pac if that was the barrera that beat hamed. :roll:
If fighting at featherweight Hamed would have a huge chance. Styles make fights and anyone can see that in his young days, Jones beat Hopkins, who beat Tarver, who ****ed Jones up. What Barrera did so well was put on a defensive masterclass v Hamed, something Pacquiao cannot do. It would have been a brutal fight however Hamed had more one punch power at that weight
PFP Hamed was a better puncher than all the above. Add to that better reflexes and an inane ability to throw punches from the most unorthodox angles and you can bet this was a Pick'em fight!
