Yes, Pacquiao that took on a guy that TKO'd the current lineal MW champion and beat him one-sidedly without getting dropped or hurt will surely crumble under the power of Naseem Hamed... I for one don't think Hamed can accomplish that. Pacquiao doesn't crumble under pressure. He's one of those guys that reacts to getting hurt by coming back stronger, harder, and angrier... Pac will be able to draw him into a firefight, he will go strongly to the body which is a great counter to upperbody movement of any kind, and he will respond to naseem's clowning with nothing but fireworks.. I dont doubt that Hamed could hurt him, he most certainly would but i'm inclined to favor the guy that whipped the guy that whipped him
You do realise that that formula never works out? Ali, Foreman, Frazier Tyson, Tucker, Douglas Taylor, Hopkins, Pavlik Mosely, Cotto, Margarito Mosely, Forrest, Mayorga .....MAB, PacMan, Hamed??????? Secondly...Pacman beat Margarito at 154, were talking about FEATHERWEIGHT..... Hamed didn just hurt people, he put them to sleep and if he smells blood, Pacman is going for a kip
The point is that Pacquiao has proven durability even with huge bigger punchers. He got knocked out when he was like 17 when he wasn't eating regularly. I'm saying that Pacman is proved against much better featherweight competition than hamed, often in devastating fashion. And sometimes that's all it is, a gulf in class.
Upsets do happen, i know everybody is on the Pacman bandwagon today. But stylistically Hamed is all wrong for PacMan and in a P4P sense, Hamed hits Harder than Cotto, Hatton and Margo. Hameds also a southpaw which makes this interesting. We could debate this all day long, its not like its going to happen. So well never know
You're trying really hard to sell Azzer85....but nobody's buying. Pac thrashes the technically deficient hamed.
Hamed is a big chance to win by brutal knockout but Pacquaio's speed and work rate is too much. As soon as Naz tires, it's over. I think it's close to 50-50 though.
