Manny by late stoppage or easy decision. Manny's consistent aggressiveness breaks down the flashy but defensively porous Hamed, much like in the Barrera/Hamed fight
A peak Hamed destroys Manny. People keep saying Manny throws punches from different angles that's just bs forum talk. Hamed was the genius who threw punches from angles never seen before. I see the left hook knocking Manny cold
I don't think it would be an easy fight for both fighters. Handed good but I've never seen him beat anyone of Pacs caliber and vice versa I've never seen Pac face off against a guy of Hameds power.
Some of you guys must be smoking angel dust or some sh!t, saying Hamed beats Pacquaio. Hamed was good, but against elite fighters he'd be wide open to take a beating, he lacked fundamentals. His style was as a defensively inferior Herol Graham, but happened to have great power for his weight class. Manny would knock him out.
Hamed would suffer a deconstruction so badly it wouldn't even be funny. He was great for beating average guys ,but he wasn't elite. Mayweather wanted to fight him for fun. It would not even have been a serious match-up.
Pac****s opinions are worth s.h.i.t as usual. Hamed easy KO inside 2 rounds, one shot from either hand, and the little Pino is asleep a fvcking lot longer than JMM comatosed him for. And I NEVER liked Hamed, but some things are so obvious Ray Charles could have seen them.
Hamed at bantamweight was a slippery elusive, switch hitting eel of a fighter who also happened to have KO power in both fists. He also happened to be a c*nt of a human being but never mind. Moving up to featherweight, and becoming over reliant on his power, severely degraded him as fighter. If he had stayed at bantamweight or even at 122 pounds he might have been an ATG. He only became known to the American public when he moved to 126 and the rot had set in which was a shame as the bantamweight version was a really good fighter. Hamed also happened to have a great chin - when he was knocked over it was generally due to being off balance and I've never seen him legitimately hurt in the ring. At 122 Hamed has a real shot at Pac, either a late rounds TKO or an UD.
I couldn't agree more. Did they watch Hamed? The guy dropped his hands way too much. He was like a Herol Graham with more power, slightly better chin, but less quick. Manny had the speed and aggression to take advantage of Hamed's defensive lapses. I think Manny had a good enough chin to take Hamed's shots. I actually think he'd be able to smother a lot of Hamed's power with constant aggression. Note: I didn't read your second paragraph before writing, but it sounds like we're on the same page. :good
So Pacquiao's a poor mans Augie Sanchez now? OK :good Hamed got his shiit pushed in by the first guy with elite talent he fought. And I don't swallow that BS about him being some elusive genius when he had Brendan Ingle training him either. He did alright against domestic/Euro level trash but he got more hittable and less awesome when he stepped up to world class (even if the bulk of his name opponents were past prime or coming up in weight) opposition. When you get the fright of your life and sat on your arrse multiple times by a washed up Kevin Kelley then you ain't beating a prime Pacquiao ffs. Hamed with that ****py balance and propensity to lift his head and majorly expose his chin when he threw a punch would get tagged hard a repeatedly with ease just as he did with Kelley and Daniel Alicea before him. The difference being that Manny hits harder, faster and with greater volume than either of those guys do. Total mismatch. Pacquiao by KO or TKO 7 and it'd be hilarious to see.
When you can show evidence of Hamed getting KTFO by rickshaw drivers, and Chinese laundry workers I might take your opinions seriously. Not to mention put to sleep for 7 minutes by Marquez who certainly didn't hit as hard as Hamed.
That Ingle gym Herol Bomber Graham hands low stuff Hamed used would get him koed against Pac. And I was a big Naz fan but this is a fight where he gets exposed badly.
They could trade knockdowns, but I can't see Hamed getting a majority share on points. If he lasts, he loses a UD.
