Prime Hamed was around 22/23 years old, which sounds hard to believe, but seemed the case. I dont think many beat that version (including Marquez, Morales, Barrera) as his power and reflexes were extraordinary, but the version that fought Barrera would lose to Marquez by a clear boxing lesson.
JMM was Hamed's mandatory (WBO,I believe) for almost 2 years.All of a sudden,Hamed offered JMM a fight and tried to rush him into the ring at a moment's notice.Hamed was never serious about facing Marquez.There's a Ring Magazine interview from a few years ago in which JMM expressed his displeasure at Hamed over this.By the way,JMM would have exposed Hamed's huge limitations,ex: lack of boxing IQ, and won a convincing decision.
Pretty much, he had altered his style and it just didnt work. Not sure why you would say bums, he beat some world champs and fighters who became, he won the WBO WBC IBF titles and beat the WBA champ whos title wasnt on the line. Cant see whats bad about that. He beat - Robinson WBO champ Soto WBC champ Johnson IBF champ Vasquez WBA champ Medina a former world champ who became a FW champ 3 times again after Hamed beat him Ingle who became a FW champ after losing to Hamed Bungu, Kelly and McCullough who had all been world champs and were world class. In fact McCullough was considered suitable to fight Morales straight after Hamed beat him and challenge for a world title another 4 times after losing to Hamed
Never a fan of Hamed but he beat alot of top FWs to be called a B fighter. Maybe not A+, but above B when you think he beat - Robinson WBO champ Soto WBC champ Johnson IBF champ Vasquez WBA champ Medina a former world champ who became a FW champ 3 times again after Hamed beat him Ingle who became a FW champ after losing to Hamed Bungu, Kelly and McCullough who had all been world champs and were world class. In fact McCullough was considered suitable to fight Morales straight after Hamed beat him and challenge for a world title another 4 times after losing to Hamed
Marquez stops the Prince who had a glass chin.Barrera was never a puncher.Marquez is and is better than Bareera at the counter punch, jmm's quicker on the trigger. And is leagues above Barrera in combination punching.Nacho would of have had a game plan that would render the Prince hapless. TKO 9 victory for Marquez.
They're bums cos he hasnt heard of them. I couldnt see Hamed beating JMM either. Wrong style for Nax and Marquez is just better.Dont think itd be any wider than Barrera though, i think prime Barrera was better than Marquez.
