In the super bantam weight and feather weight, Hamed could possibly knock out Pacquiao only if Hamed is well prepared both physically and mentally. Above the feather weight, Pacquiao beats Hamed.
Hmm tough to call, it would be an absolute tear up. They are equal in speed, power, chin, height and they both have pretty puch no defence apart from movement of the feet for Pac and Head for Naz. I see it being either a draw with Pacman knocking Naz down once or twice, but Naz landing cleaner more effective shots as the fight goes on, or a very close SD with one or two off balance Naz knockdows but he does just enough down the stretch to nick the fight (At FW anyway) Pac was still a little green at FW but Naz tends to throw single shots and Pac combinations, that would be his downfall if he got beat, no way either man gets knocked out Naz had a granite chin but was almost always off balance, Pac gets tagged quite a bit but he has a solid chin also. This would be a great fight, a well trained, well prepared Naz was an animal with ATG potential.
Are we all ignoring the fact that Hamed, when he hit the world stage, was easier to hit on than a $3 *****? Forget the Prince when he was bashing up stiffs. He could look dazzling against potato heads but Pacquaio would break his ****in neck! AND I'M A MASSIVE PRINCE FAN AND CAN TAKE OR LEAVE PACQUAIO!!!!!!
pac KO easily. Hamed loud mouthed, cocky wanker. First hard fight he fought, hung em up... no balls.. have had the displeasure of meeting him too... not a nice human being. you can take the man out of Yemen, but cant take that mentality out of him. arrogant *****
When looking at this match-up, people need to realize Pac was not the monster he is now at Welterweight. He had a very one-dimensional approach that was based on aggression alone – this coupled with his atrocious defence, means he would have eaten a lot of bombs from the Prince in the process. Which reminds me of his (Pac’s) bouts with Morales/JMM, you’ll notice their shots didn’t bounce off his chin with minimum effect like they do now. When he was caught clean he didn’t like it, and it allowed the opponent to pile on the pressure and get the better of him. The Prince would certainly have his moments against Pac, with his astonishing power making him think twice about lunging in recklessly all the time. But with that said, Pac would still have managed to deck the poorly balanced Prince a couple of times, before winning an explosive 12 round fight. No chance in hell one stops the other, as both had/have granite chins. But this of course is based on the prime and fully focused Prince (Robinson bout) – a guy who had the reflexes of a cat, and actually threw combinations! This Prince would give the old Pacquiao a good run for his money. But the one who fought MAB was departed in my eyes, and not worth considering when making fantasy match-ups involving him.
