wrong, pac has one-punch power and very heavy handed at 122 and 126 (though he had only two fights at 126 wherein he decked barrera and marquez for a total of six times) at 122, he was knocking out both bums and world class fighters left and right
In my opinion - The best Prince that could be (i.e. against Robinson) would have given anyone fits - I could see him winning an easy decision against PAC a the lower weights as his reflexes were ridiculously good. Regardless of his power, he would have been frustrated trying to catch the Prince. And even if he did get hit, The prince had a top notch chin.
hamed looked good against lesser opponents but was beaten handily when he stepped up in class. regardless of whether he was no longer focused when he fought an elite in MAB, fact is he got beaten the moment he faced someone with a high calibre. Pac however proved he belongs with the elite and that he can dominate in their ranks. there is a difference in class between pac and hamed
I agree with you EL Mosquito - Which is why I don't think the Prince is among the greats, but probably THE greatest wasted talent. Unfortunately, the outcome of this mythical bought is something we'll never know!
I honestly don't think Hamed did duck anybody after losing to Barrera. He'd taken his eye off the game months before the Barrera fight. I'm not using that as an excuse, he was clearly and soundly beaten. But it was clear to a lot of people that the hunger had gone. He had £70m in his bank and was loving the fame game. The worst decision he ever made was leaving Ingle for Steward. Hamed fell out of love with boxing but loved everything that came with it. You could make a case for him ducking opponents after Barrera if he he'd fought 10 journeymen, back to back, in the UK. He chose not to and walked away from the sport.
Spot on. The best sign that a boxer has lost interest/hunger is when you look at their weight between fights but especially what happens soon after they retire. Hamed ballooned in weight within months of retiring even though he hadn't officially announced it. Most definetly not a 'hungry' fighter.
