Prince Naz would have beaten Manny Pacquiao

I feel tension in the air, everyone calm down, close your eyes, think of the ocean, the waves pounding the shore, the warm breeze, yeah, now start touching yourself, yeah thats goooood!

 

Marquez is A) Better defensively and B) Has a better chin.

Anyway, Pacquiao beats the **** out of Naseem. Hamed is tailor made for a puncher like Pacquiao. This fight does not seen round 4.

 

It all depends on which Naz we are talking about.

 

It seems the tendency to overrate/underrate Hamed continues.

At featherweight I would back a prime Hamed to beat Pacquaio. Pac-Man hasn't done much at that weight and Naz was untouchable there for five + years.

Just for the record I think Morales would beat Hamed 9 times out 10. I think if Hamed had 5 fights with Barrera there would probably be a different outcome each time, with both fighters picking up 'L's' & 'W's'.

Depending on the weight, I'd favour Hamed to beat both Pac and JMM.

 

Ok, that's ridiculous considering he could struggle to put away lesser fighters at times.

 

I actually agree Naz wins - on points, NOT by stoppage. Naz's power wouldn't win the day, but his awkwardness might. At 126 Pac was one-dimensional and predictable, and Naz's chin was good. Then again, I could very, very easily see Naz getting knocked down at least once in the process of winning.

People tend to overrate Naz tbh. Naz was no classier at featherweight than Pacquiao, and a pet hate is when people talk about how good Naz supposedly was earlier in his career (note to people: He was no better - he looked more elusive as he fought fighters who knew less and had slower hands and feet). Naz would beat Pac, but it's merely based on styles. I'm convinced Chris John and Marquez beats Naz, and so does any version of Barrera. But Morales struggles against Naz.

 

The comical thing is you have to match up an extremely pre-prime version of Pacquiao at featherweight against a prime Hamed to even make this matchup competitive. Even then I still have to favour Pacquiao in a big way, because he's just as fast, comparable in power but even then had a way superior defence and all-round skills to Hamed. Consider the guys that put Hamed on the floor.

At 130 and beyond when Pacquiao starts to reach his best he is lightyears ahead, that is evident in their performance against comparable levels of opponent.

 

I dont think Naz would be able to deal with Pacquiou speed. Naz relied on his reaction but even his lightning fast ones are not faster than Mannys hands.

 

The FW version of Manny (wild, one twos, open) would be K.O'd by Naz in about five of a spirited battle.

Naz post-Calvo would've lost widely on points.

 

It would have been a thriller, but Manny would slash him to ribbons in the end. Naz's non-existent defence was built for Manny.

 

At 126 Manny's defence wasn't exactly....well, what it is now.

H2H at FW Pac was not at his best, Naz was. I say Pac is smashing Naz, leaves him,self open, one counter punch later and it's all over.

Only my opinion

 

Very possible. I'd still back Pac though. If he could obliterate Barrera and (IMO) beat Marquez then he would certainly defeat Naz.

 

never/ naz was an overrated mouth/manny has class in and out of the ring

 

Pacquiao proved his worth in the elite level of fw when he beat MAB. Naz has not done that. I will pick pacquiao to beat Naz at FW.

 

well if defence is of prime importance here, at what weight did Naz get his act together??
