Naseem hammed should have been great

Dropping the hands gets you knocked out. I'd have Prince do more feinting, rolling and slipping. Not necessarily all traditional boxing, but still keep some aspec of using his strengths properly rather than the awkward BS he pulls. Angles come from setting up your opponent to land the counter shot they don't realize is coming.

Still, If I were training him. That four punch combo would be a staple of his attack. It doesn't always have to be in sequence, but can be timed and mixed into his attack. The point is to keep the points on the scorecard without the nonsense of dropping your hands and getting hit.

 

For all his flaws he was pretty good.

 

No.Marco Antonio Barrera did not change his style for that fight.Wrong.Did you even see the MAB-Jesus Salud fight?

 

Yeah, pretty good covers it. Great ,no.

Pep, Saddler, Canzoneri,Armstrong, Chocolate,Saldivar,Arguello,Sanchez,Pedroza, Miller,Barrera,Morales.
That's great.

 

So what?He was a great draw.His flash and dash made him so.He was not a great fighter,and clearly not as good as Mayweather.

 

:goodPERFECT:good

 

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Hamed was talented, no doubt, but he was obviously buying into his own hype and thinking he was unbeatable as long as he had that punch. His ego was his downfall. I don't think he would have gotten past the other big boys such as Pacquiao, Morales, and Marquez had he continued after that loss to Barrera.

Still, think he was a good enough fighter to be inducted to the Hall of Fame.

 

Prince bitchboy might have had a great career...but he ran into some dude named Marco...got fat, and became as useless with the gloves off as they were on...

 

He was not in the best shape, even his sparring partners were beating him up. Have you seen the Little Prince Big Fight Documentary? While MAB was training his ass off, Hamed was more concerrned about the size of his hotel room, his haircut and playing golf.

 

I never said he was great, i said he was huge in terms of popularity

 

If Steward was so concerned he didnt do much in terms of preparing Naz

I cant remember which fight it is, but MAB did come out with a tshirt saying Naz is Next
