    Hamed has literally no chance at all

    His weaknesses play right into Mayweather's strengths, he was often off balance and whilst countering was wide open, Mayweather was pin point accurate and had serious snap at 130.
    Hamed had a counter style and was an awkward leader, Mayweather would box circles around him with his easily superior footwork and pick him apart at range.

    So based on styles alone Mayweather should either pick him apart and stop him late or beat him to the punch and take a UD.

    But then factor in the gap between the two's skillset, the fact Mayweather was a decent amount bigger and you're left with only one winner.

    And note, this is from a proud Brit, who loves Hamed and hates Mayweather.

    I just realised what you were saying, I thought you were talking about Salvador Sanchez! You really think Augie could have beat all the fighters Floyd beat as a pro?! Augie was never anywhere near the P4P top 10, wow!

    Floyd would whip him, he'd make him look foolish and punish him for it . A busted up Naz gets stopped on his feet round 11.

    If we do this thread enough times, eventually someone will put together a decent argument for Hamed to win.
