    Just watched Hamed-Calvo and going by the comments of the panel afterwards it seems that Tapia was touted as Hamed's next opponent. Who would have won had the fight gone ahead? The press conferences for this would have been epic. :yep

    Tapia would win. I ****ing love him. Anyone read his book. Very easy to read. read it in one night and loved it. My favourite boxing book of all time. Poor English but I guarantee you'll never read anything like it

    In 2002!? I reckon Hamed could have pulled off a close win against a FW Tapia....not his best weight at all....though Hamed looked like turd against Calvo

    Would have been a good little fight.........Hamed should win this......but Tapia could and maybe would have pulled it off I reckon.

    tapia beats hamed

    at that time hamed's confidence and self esteem vital to his game was shot

    Tapia would be a bad fight for Naz styles wise
