    Pac would beat with a blink of an eye and a flick of his wrist.

    Hamed would knock Pac Man out early because Manny would try and trade.

    you think walking straight at naz and looking to trade with him is a good idea? especially when you take into account the angles he throws at and his absolutely massive power?

    maybe you need to think this one over a bit more.

    Hamed mid-late TKO. Style-wise this matchup may well be Pacquiao's biggest nightmare.

    Flash in the pan???? The guy owned the Featherweight division for 5 years.

    Oh and The Prince KO's Pac in 5. You don't come at Naz like that and survive to tell the story.

    Both fighters are pretty overrated, not only the Prince. IMO Manny´s mistake would be, to brawl in the inside, and that wouldn´t be that intelligent against one of the hardest FW-punchers of all times, IMO, Pacquiao, on points slightly ahead in a spectacular fight, would get KO´d in the midrounds...


    Hamed KO 8 Pacquiao

    posted this in another thread

    imo truly a 50/50 fight

    a lot of you guys are saying that hamed catches pac when he comes in, or some nonsense like that, but what do you think happens when pac catches hamed clean first, with his hands down? no doubt hamed had a good chin, but i dont think that he'd just take pac's left and smile, if pac managed to send the iron chinned morales back a few feet in their second fight, and lift that thai dude off the canvas with an uppercut, then i dont think it's ridiculous to say that pac floors hamed. imo pac gets uderrated in this regard. dont forget pac's also one of the best finishers in the game, and if hamed goes down pac makes sure he stays down.

    No, no, of course Manny could KO Hamed, that´s why I created this thread, because IMO it would be a great fight, probably without any chance to go to the full route. But I think Hamed´s chin was a bit better, also his power, and he had such an unortodox fight style, you never knew what did he next, that´s why I favour him slightly...

    I think the polar opposite would happen, but hey.;)

    Do you really envisage Pacquiao's kamikaze style working in his favour against a slick, unorthadox counterpuncher (and heavy hitter) like Hamed.

    With all due respect, Pacquaio wouldnt make it out of the first round.

    Its interesting. Hamed evokes emotions and opinions unrationally on even our most knowledgeable of posters such as McVey & Griffo, logic goes out the window. :D
