    At his best I think he lights up Pep.

    Dude is underrated and Pep is overrated.

    Saddler- quite easy, though not on the eyes.

    really? Any reason? I think if I had to come up with names to beat Hamed, that saddler and Pedroza are the 2 guys who I think would get inside of his head rather than the other way around.

    I give Jeff Fenech a good chance against Hamed. His unlimited stamina and ferocity coupled with his ability to take a punch would make Hamed uncomfortable. Hamed still has the punch to KO Fenech though, so Fenech better be prepared for it before he steams in.

    Any elite pressure fighter at 126, too many would beat him. Some fighters close to that weight now would be very interesting, Rigo primed and Loma would be nice.

    It seems some are misunderstanding the question. It is not who would beat Hamed....
    but rather who is the best FW you would pick Hamed to beat?

    either that or I am going crazy...quite possible on a Saturday night

    What I'm not understanding is people are sleeping on Nazs style- its a different style that most boxers have never encountered and would give him an advantage being its so awkward and he carries knockout power with speed and throws from weird angles.
    Not saying he beats an Arguello but he would present alot of problems to boxers with his style and speed.

    Yeah, exactly. What I said but reversed. Add in Fenech or Nelson as mentioned before, Naz at his best could crack em.

    Saddler would RUIN Hamed. Hamed fought one "A' level fighter and was taken apart. And basically quit fighting after, he was in big trouble against a well past prime Kelly, and now some of you think he defeats S Saddler, W.Pep, W.Gomez? Based on what?
    Sorry I don't see that happening. Like I wrote earlier he'd be ok against most "B" or "C" level fighters, but the true ATG's beat his ass down worst than Barrera did. And Barrera was exposed by Junior Jones a few yrs prior. Hamed wasn't near as good as his record indicates.
