Naseem Hamed V Manny Pacquiao

this has been done several times before. trading with nazz wasa NONO at 126. naz by ko after he goes down to get back up a few time would be a war while it lasted

 

yeah but we are talking 126 and there pacman was to wild for his own good .

 

I'll go with this but heres my take-

when was Pacs prime? Is it now (after his recent masterclass) or at his physical peak?

Pac was too fast for Barrera but Hamed could have caught him- he was an explosive puncher and Pacs chin is not granite.

 

pac on points

 

Pac by ko in 11. Naz would catch Pac early for a kd but Pac would catch up to him in the mid rounds and stop him late!

 

Then debate my points. Oh thats right... You won't because you can't.

 

were talking a weight deffernce also . 126 vs 126. NAz would win

 

Hamed TKO8.

 

Pacquiao by late stoppage or decision.

 

at 126, I have to go for Hamed.

Pacman was wild at 126, if we're picking his prime as his win in the 2nd fight against Morales (rather than the 3rd when Morales was on his way to being shot) when Morales had just lost to Raheem, then we're crazy. It's the Pacman who beat Barrera the 1st time that Hamed fights;

and he's wild, open. He tries to swarm Naz (the Naz that K.O'd Kevin Kelley) and drops him a couple of times, but Naz was dropped by heavy punches a few times late on his career and was never dazed. He always got up, and you could see his legs were fine. Being shorter than Pac would help Naseem; I see an uppercut taking Pacman out in the mid rounds.

I'm a huge Pacqiauo fan, moreso than Naseem, but people's hate for Hamed makes them cloud their judgement. Of all the FW's to beat Hamed, Pacman would be one of the few I wouldn't make a certainty. Sanchez; Obviously! Arguello (maybe COULD K.O Naseem) would also batter Hamed.

But Pacman was too flawed at FW. A fantastic fighter yes, but showed none of the allr-ound skills he did against (an admittedly overmatched) David Diaz.

Naseem is a bad matchup for Manny.

He beats the Naz that fought Barrera/Calvo easily, in a lopsided UD. But not Prime Naz, that is a different animal.

 

Hamed at his best would KO Pac end of

 

Pac is a better fighter overall, but he would be waaaay too open to Hamed's shots. Say whatever you want about Naseem, but that dude had BRUTAL power, and you're better off boxing him. I think Pac wins about 70% of the time with speed and workrate, but the other 30% Hamed connects with something spectacular and whacks him outta there.

 

i would agree with this post.

 

Did Pac KO anyone at 126?
