Why was Hamed so scared to fight Mayweather Jr.?

No, not an excuse, it a FACT

 

Because he didn't wanna get bashed up.

 

well Hamed retired as a featherweight, Floyd started as a super-featherweight

 

What's a prime Naz? The one who got knocked down by Augie Sanchez? Or the one that kept getting dropped by Kevin Kelley? No fighter is unbeatable but the writing is all over the wall about Naz. Even at his absolute best he wore too many shots.

And if you ask me a guy who doesn't train is a **** FIGHTER!
Besides, that's a lame, bull**** excuse. Leading up to that fight it was obvious to everyone that Barrera was his biggest test to date. Naz just choked. He was scared, hesitant and lost every meaningful exchange in that fight. Even the ****in wrestling match. Your "Prime Naz" notion is based on nothing.

 

Cos he wuda got skooled just like he did with barrera.

 

was he ever down past the count of 2? No, he was dropped due to balance, not due to chin.

 

The credibility train just got derailed.

It then proceeded to crash. And burn. Many ****ing people died in the torrential blaze of idiocy flames that burst out violently upon impact.

Me, luckily.. I escaped with only minor burns, though the trauma of this event will plague me forever.

 

One of the 3 most classless fighters I have ever seen in my lifetime(after Vinnie Pazienza and Ricardo Mayorga),princess naseem hamed is somehow given this mythical status by her supporters.It is ****ing insane.She couldn't even ko bantamweight Wayne McCollough(I fighter I respect and admire immensely for his heart and courage,and,he's from the same Province as both my wife and my father-but yet still a bantamweight),but yet she is given this somehow mythical reverence from her supporters as if she were this great fighter.The reality is that it took how many rounds to ko tough,but extraordinarily limited,Paul Ingle,but claimed by many on this thread that she would have beaten Floyd Mayweather?I personally don't like Mayweather very much as he is an arrogant individual(although nowhere near as bad as scumbag hamed),however,I'm cannot for the life of me fathom how a dude that was rocked by so many individuals(Augie Sanchez,are you ****ing kidding me?) could possibly stand up to someone like Mayweather,who challenged hamed at a catchweight of 128 pounds,to which hamed responded,"How many times do you want me to move up?"This is a most insane thread that hamed supporters love to post as if their scumbag idol was anywhere near as good as they claim him(falsely) to be.Absolutely ****ing ridiculous.

 

Spot on.

 

That would also be his fault.

Longevity and consistent preparation are two criteria that're also used in judging a boxer; not just the one dimensional athleticism that Naseem had. That, and falling off balance occassionally. :yep

 

maybe Hamed was scared to drive to the fight??

 

Obvious. He would have gotten KO'd and embarrassed.

 

I always thought that leaving Brendan Ingle was his true downfall. Steward and Suarez were absolutely awful for Hamed. His strengths came from his awkward and unconventional style. A straight up, orthodox style does not work for someone so undersized, and thats exactly what Emanuel Steward attempted to do with him.

 

Here's where you lost all credibility. Anyone who knows anything about Wayne McColough knows that in his prime he was as close to unknockoutable as there is this side of George Chuvalo.

 

It is a rare fighter that dominates a weight class for four years. Especially one that rightfully won every belt possible- WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, Linear
