    Anybody can call out someone in an interview. As far as I know, there were no serious negotiations to make this match, and they were in different weight classes anyway.

    Mayweather was simply bigger and better.

    By many accounts, Hamed had let the good life get to him by 2001. But I don’t think the 95-97 Hamed beats that Barrera anyway, and certainly not Mayweather.

    This was one of those fights where the 10 point system can make it look closer than what you actually see with your eyes. 8-4 Barrera isn’t outrageous (I think I had it 9-3). With the point deduction, it was 116-111 on my card. But Barrera won his rounds a lot easier than Hamed. They just weren’t enough to be 10-8. Hamed’s rounds were close.

    Same thing with Mayweather-Judah. 8-4 is reasonable, but Floyd won his rounds a lot easier. You can give Judah rounds 1, 2, 4, and 12. But 2 was the only round he won by a clear margin. Round 1 was a feel-out round, Judah probably just did a tad more. Round 2 is what Judah won clearly, Floyd actually touched the canvas with his glove but it wasn’t ruled a KD. Judah landed a loud eye catching left hand in round 4, but most of his follow up punches missed. Floyd landed some good body shots in that round afterwards and it could have gone either way. And round 12 was a close round which could have gone to Zab.

    Floyd won his rounds by wider margins, he just kicked Judah’s ass from rounds 6 thru 10 to the point where Judah did that cheap ****.

    YOU'RE the one that wrote you were a massive fan of both, not me. So yes, he's a hero of yours. Also you still didn't answer the question and obviously won't because you know the truth lol. And if I am the angry one why am I the one laughing and you're running away? B-bye

    You just got schooled, son, just like your hero hamed against Barrera. Thats why YOUR knickers are in a twist, AND you've run away.

    Nah im not, just old enough not to care about this enough.

    your opinion is different to mine and the scorecards. Im not getting into an argument with some kid on the internet about it.

    I am a big fan of both because I'm a big fan of boxing, neither are my hero. I preferred Erik to both tbh.

    Well that's because you were schooled, son, just like your hero. You claim you don't care enough, but yet still continued to respond. That says it all. Plus you STILL haven't answered the question posed to you. No surprise there.
