  5. I just watched a fight between Danny Lopez and Juan Domingo Malvarez , both were were powerful punchers and look like much better all rounders in comparison with Hamed however , neither look like they possess one punch knockout power like Hamed

    The thing with Hamed was that he was throwing 126lbs of himself with every punch. Most punchers stay in there stance and use leverage and technique to generate their power, like Lopez he had pretty good punching technique.

    Hamed on the other hand would use his whole body to generate power, he'd create an angle then launch himself forward with his punch. That is the one thing I admire about him, he could really generate power. Apart from that I think he is pretty crappy.

    agreed but his reflexes before kevin kelly were really something to behold. his competition may not have been all time but he essentially cleaned out the entire division (save for one or two names) from mid 90s to early 2000s. and he did it with nothing more than a punch and his incredible reaction time. he looked like locche in there sometimes and i really mean that type of praise
