I love how people are saying Hamed would get KO'd.
I feel Hamed's chin is one of his most underrated assets. He had an iron chin and a great recovery. Was he ever hurt? I know he was knocked down a few times but i don't recall him ever being hurt.
If you box with no guard whatsoever your always going to eat some big punches so the knockdowns are understandable. Even a bonafide iron chinned fighter like Carl Froch has been knocked down. It doesn't matter how good your chin is you can always get knocked down if hit with the right punch in the right spot. If your style involves no guard then you multiply the chances of those punches landing by so much. Also I haven't seen his fights in a while but if i remember correctly i'm sure one or two of his knockdowns were partly due to him being wildly off balance due to his crazy style.
He had a great chin, no doubt about that. You HAVE to have a great chin with a style like the one he had.

The fact I think he punches way harder then Donaire and was never KO'd and had a real awkward style doesnt mean much. He still gets' brutally KO'd on NSB
I think it's a 50/50 fight and either guy could have won, but as it will never happen, everyone is allowed to indulge in fantasy, so I'm going to say Naz KO's Donaire in 3 seconds of the 1st round

Since I can't stand either of them I would have hoped that this would happen.
