Pac would tear Hamed up regardless of the weight. too much speed, too much power, too much relentlessness.
The current day Pacquiao is obviously a bigger man. But even at a catch-weight the current version of Pacman embarrasses Hamed worse than Barrera did for mine.
:rofl Pac couldn't stop Naz at either weight, just unrealistic. Naz could stop Pac though Pac's only chance is by decision.
naz would suddenly lose his urge like he did after he lost to Barrera. Naz was a good fighter for his day. but he fought WAY too many scrubs compared to Manny Pacquiao. and you know what, pac could win by decision through his offensive output. and possibly knock that fool to timbuktu.
Pac kills him at any weight lets face it. Hamed tooo open and his chin in the air routine wud be target practice for Pacs left hand.
patsch Nope sorry. Manny at 122/126 couldn't stand up to Hamed's power for 12 rds, far too open and leaky defence.
I have Hamed beating Pacquiao at 126 or even 130. I don't think anyone could go toe-to-toe with a focussed Hamed, down at those weights. Naz was a great counter puncher, with punching power Pacquiao's never seen at those weights If Marquez is slowing Pac down with big shots there, Hamed is putting him to sleep
Again, based on little more than blind faith If an old Morales is tearing Manny apart at 130, no way Hamed doesn't beat him at 126 Barrera ran for his life from Hamed. Had no intention of trading with him Think Pacquiao could have boxed that fight, at that time? Hell no He'd have taken so much punishment from the slicker, bigger punching fighter, that he would have been finished by round 6 - like the Marquez fight
Manny Steward thinks too much for his own good. Hamed was a force of nature under Ingle. Just an old fashioned brawler, with elite speed and skills. Steward had him trying to fight like Floyd Mayweather. Madness Saying that, Barrera only beat him as he ran for his life. And if you can force a Mexican, to fight like a Russian, you're the real deal
i got hamed's career set and i watch it from time to time. crimson was right. the training camp and the trainer doesn't equate to a boxer's ability. hatton-mayweather sr. is a good example.
