Prince Naz would have beaten Manny Pacquiao

yeah theres a topic of discussion, could Naz beat Hatton at 140??Prime vs prime?

 

Maybe so.. Hatton's fight against an ageing Kostya Tyzsu was his flag at the top of the mountain for me..... and in the fight I don't think that he started to pull away until the 8th round.....:bbb

 

I agree

sometimes when a fighter has a great winner we always look to the future

but sometimes that fight was their greatest

like when Naz was KO mutha****ers at 21 or 22 we thought think how juch better he be when he is older

but his peak was 21-25

by the time he was 27 he was retiring

Hatton will be best remebered for his Tzyzu win - that night he overachieved :deal

 

The old one-two Pac maybe but I'm not sure about this Pac. Pac's more versatile now and better at everything he does. He would be in and out and touching Naz everywhere. The old one dimensional Pac could be beaten and caught with huge shots. Not sure Naz could beat this Pac.

 

I feel this would be right and both would be hurt at different times of the fight!! I think the 1 punch power of Hamed would certainly pose a threat to Pac Man but in the end I feel Pac Mans fitness would come through and that the pace and tempo would be just a bit too much for Naz:cry:

Depends if you want to take prime Naz v an inferior version of Pac. If so, I could make a case from Bruno beating Ali.

I think the crucial thing is that Pac would have the speed to get round Naz's very good footwork (which saved him against Barerra IMO).

Naz would always have a punchers chance, but I wouldn't have bet on it.

 

This is a great thread. You have an unorthodox fighter like Naz who never proved he could beat a top line fighter against a fighter in Pac who struggles against top line 'boxers' ..
Naz is my favourite British fighter and ive totally defended him in the past but the facts remain that he never beat 1 great opponent.
Manny Pac on the other hand has beaten plenty, but there are still question marks. Pac's first win against Barrera was sensational and really put him on the world map, but i seen him absolutely out fought by Morales in that first fight and totally out-boxed by Marquez in they're first fight ..
Since then he's done a washed up Morales twice, beaten Marquez, Barrera and beaten 'perfect guys for his style' in Diaz and Hatton ..
My heart would like to think Naz could detonate one of his big shots but because he never proved it against a truly great fighter i have to say that Pac would take him out within 10 rounds .. Naz's technical deficiencies would really show up in this fight, but if he was still with Ingle and was relaxed and loose, he could do some damage on Pac ..
But Mayweather is a totally different equation, the talent difference between Naz/Pac and Floyd is huge .. Naz could never beat Mayweather and for me Pac is going to be totally outboxed aswell. People dont like to give Floyd credit because he's so arrogant but his skill as a boxer is up there with the best of all time.
Floyd Mayweather will have a fairly easy night with Pac ..

The 3 best fighters since Sugar Ray Leonard are, in no particular order ..

Floyd Mayweather
Roy Jones Jr
Pernell Whittaker

Thats not even arguable for me, these 3 guys are so far ahead of anybody else in terms of talent, skills and ability that nobody can seriously pick Manny to beat Floyd ....

 

I agree with this and the 3 names mentioned above are legends in there own right!!

 

Axl Nose - Spot on pal, those 3 are literally light years ahead of anyone else since SRL - Absolutely spot on !

 

Pretty interesting fight .. For all Naz's entertaining qualities he never proved he could beat anybody in they're prime especially a dominant guy like Hatton at 140. I prefer Naz but i wouldnt back him to beat Hatton at 140, i seen Naz go to america and look vulnerable and scratchy against guys like Augie Sanchez, Cesar Soto, an old Kelley and a durable McCullough, but none of these guys were 'top line' fighters. Kelley was at his best in the early-mid nineties, he was considered old when Naz fought him .... Its Hatton all the way in this one for me ..

 

:goodspot on. every word. I would just replace Whittaker with mosely.

 

because it was really outlandish to suggest a fighter who has twice been stopped by bodyshots might get stopped again by a renowned body puncher?!!! LOL get a grip you tit!

 

Yeah like that list axl but I'm tempted to swap whitiker with holyfield

 

it's hard to say. pq has a chin compare to prince naz though the later is a harder puncher that pq. it's just like in the case of pq and hatton many were questioning the chin of pq. in one of blog, i confessed that maybe pq do not have the chin agains hatton's power but how about hatton's chin? pq is too fast for any fighter for that matter and his punchess is as accurate than that of barrera.

 

don't be
