Prime Naz stops opponent quicker than Marquez

:shock:

 

:rofl

 

By "bottom of the barrel/sub-par fighters" you mean Tom Johnson - world champ - had made 10 successful defences, Kevin Kelley - 2 time world champ, Medina - 5 time world champ, Wilfredo Vasquez - 3 weight world champ, Mcullough, Robinson, Ingle, Bungu, Soto - all world champs.

By "bottom of the barrell/sub-par fighters" you mean every title holder in the featherweight division - then yeah, Hamed beat them all.

School dismissed, shithead.

 

Didn't Naz say he had the flu for this fight? Also everyone knows that Naz was more powerful than JMM, doesn't mean he beat them more convincingly just cause he got them out of there quicker.

 

what logic?

there was no logic to what I was saying

I was just pointing out that Barrera never beat them guys either

 

Perhaps not, but comparing Barrera's resume to Naz's is just silly.

 

NO!
Title-holders!!! NOT Champs.

 

How would such a "defensive wizard" be shot at the age of 28?

 

shot is a extreme word to use

Naz was far from shot

But fighters burn out at quicker than others

Colin Jones reitred at 25.........because he felt he was on the downward slide

Mike Tysons peak was probaly as a 20-23 year old

Naz's style the type of fighter he was.............it was always gonna be in his youth..........his prime was probaly 21-24 years old

 

Not really......

Naz just got found out, simple as that.

Allied to his ego, lack of dedication and the amount of people blowing smoke up his ass constantly..... a loss was hardly surprising.

 

where Naz slipped as a fighter

Barrera improved

1996............Naz KO's Barrera

2001............Barrera boxes his way to a tough hard fought but fair 116-112 decsion

 

Foreman KO2 Frazier

Ali life and death three times vs Frazier

Ali KO 8 Foreman

Get the picture?


I think Hamed's resume would give evidence that he was a good fighter..........but the big and career defining fights for him was about to only start beggining with the Barrera fight.
Morales, JMM, and even Pacquiao if you looked ahead, were fights that would have defined Hamed's greatness, but he bowed out of the sport when he felt himself to be clueless vs MAB.

If the thread starters point was to prove that Hamed was a great fighter because he KO'd 3rd tier fighters sooner than other greats of the era, he's failed miserably.
You dont annoint a fighter being better than someone else simply because he can hit harder......as a recent example, just ask Kelly Pavlik!

 

Pavlik knocked out Taylor, who beat Hopkins twice so there is no way Hopkins could beat Pavlik....wait....

Hamed was good but Morales and Barrera are on another level.

 

The difference is that the latter actually happened.

 

Why are you stating the obvious? It was never Marquez' style to blow out his opponents, even in his prime.

You're talking about two totally different type of fighters here.
