Manny Pacquiao vs. Prince Naseem Hamed

At 126lbs Naz woulda sparked Pac.

Pac was wild, fast, no doubt, but less measured in his approach, and was less built in his legs. One of Naz's counter bombs would explode on Mannys chin during a furious exchange.

Naz goes down a few times in the first, second and third rounds.

Tries to be awkward and elusive but Pac still has success.

Sixth round or whatnot, Pac tries to open up and gets taken out.

 

Pac at 126 is NOT the Pac we know today.

Does he trump Hamed at the weight? Most probably, his win over Barrera was sublime.

Does he have enough advantages to make this a whitewash? No.

 

Flea Man...who was the best and most durable foe that Hamed knocked out?

 

Styles make fights

 

Most likely it was Bungu...a Super Bantamweight.

Which is to say I think Hamed's one punch power is drastically overrated...especially if you think he is sparking Pacquiao.

 

Good post, but i wanted to highlight the last part because i can definitely see that being the case:good

 

This is a tough one, and i agree styles make fights. I have pac near the top of my ATG list but at feather i think Naz would stop him. Naz had a good chin himself and was never stopped and i think he would have pac's number. Man i would pay big money to see this fight.

 

Plain to see he was a big puncher. He blew his opponents away, damaged them badly (the ones he stopped)

 

Am i a joke if i ask who is in your avatar?

Have mercy on me

 

This is it though. His opponents were always getting back up or at least trying too. When Jackson hit people, they were dead, completely and utterly removed from their consciousness. Jesus, he had to batter an ancient Vasquez to death to keep him down...Hamed is not one of the hardest punchers of all time in my estimation, he had great power...but the ratio is greatly emphasized by his poor-average opposition.

 

You deserve a man sized beatdown for asking that and I hope Flea Man gives it to you. Here's a clue, a Light Flyweight wrecking machine.

 

Well it had to be him, the hair threw me off man

 

Flea Man has Chang's balls in his mouth, you know this.

 

They're probably lodged in his ass!

 

He's ko'd loads of durable opponents and if you compare common opponents Hamed practically always gets his opponent out quicker than others have before. Also if you compare like opponents with Morales, Hamed blasted out 2 opponents that went the distance with Morales and stopped a few others quicker
