Pacquiao Vs. Naseem Hamed

your havin a laugh mate Hamed would get knocked fuckin clean out, Manny Pac is top man at feather or super feather, if he can knock out Barrera and Morales what makes you think Hamed will do any better, before or after a 3 yr lay off Styles make fights and that is boxing. It depends on how he does in his first match I cant judge like that

Pac might be able to outwork Naz but a motizated Naz could KO Pac. Its tough to pick because Naz was the type to try to get away with just training enough.

your havin a laugh mate Hamed would get knocked fuckin clean out, Manny Pac is top man at feather or super feather, if he can knock out Barrera and Morales what makes you think Hamed will do any better, before or after a 3 yr lay off I DON'T THINK HE CAN KNOCK OUT HAMED... :boxing:

i dont think Naz is 5'3 i have a fight video on him against MAB, i think he is 5'6 or 5'7. MAB only throws one punch at a time he doesnt follow it up. Thats why MAB easily kicked his ass. While Pacman throws alot of 1-5 combos on the head, MAB has no ans on that. He just eat a lot of left hands. Everytime he blocks there are more punches coming he can't see it. Here's what I got on the web: Naz Boxrec: Height – 5’4 1/2”, Reach - 64” BBC Sport: Height – 5’3”, Reach - 68” BoxingGurus: Height – 5’5”, Reach – 63” Naz Website: Height – 5’3”, Reach - 63” DOB: 2/12/74 Pac Boxrec: Height - 5’6 1/2”, Reach – 67” BoxingGurus: Height – 5’6 1/2”, Reach - 67” Wagerweb: Height – 5’6 1/2” Reach - 67” Pac website: Height – 5’6 1/2”, Reach - 67” DOB: 12/17/78 Even if you take the averages of both, Pac is clearly the taller and has longer reach. Naz might have the wider body tho.

I wonder when this two will clash?? I will bet for HAMED.. He is one of a kind! your havin a laugh mate Hamed would get knocked fuckin clean out, Manny Pac is top man at feather or super feather, if he can knock out Barrera and Morales what makes you think Hamed will do any better, before or after a 3 yr lay off

Naz - Barrera was equal up until the 8th round. I respectfully disagree. The fight was clearly going at the pace Barrera was setting. Let me put it this way: did you think, at any moment after the third or fourth round, that Naz had a chance of winning? I'm not trying to downsize Naz's stature as a fighter, but to say a prime Naz beats Barrera is simply not right. You could make an argument for Naz against Morales and even Pac. Not against Barrera.

People learn from there mistakes so I dont think Naz would make the same mistake twice.

I know. But that is also the style against which Naz was at his best. You people forget that Naz, while being a showoff and sometimes even a clown, had some serious skills and above everything, some serious power. As I said, I would still favor Pac vs a prime Naz, but the fight would be a hell of a lot more competitive than the Barrera bout, where the Prince had absolutely no shot at winning from the get go. An even worse matchup for Naz would have been JMM. I don't see the Prince winning 2 rounds in that one. Naz - Barrera was equal up until the 8th round.

Thanks Morancito. I see your your point. But remember that Pac is also at his best when slugging it out with his opponent. With his faster hands, chances are his bombs will land on Naz's head ahead of NAz's haymakers. Both fighters have awkward balance but Naz has the more tendency of getting off-balance when throwing his wild punches and exposes his head - an easy target for Pac's hooks and the 2 right left straight. Pac can also use his body attacks to slow Naz down like he did with Erik. Pac is also the bigger fighter than the two IMO and has the longer reach. I think Naz is only 5'3" but may have the wider body. If Naz chooses to dance around (using a boxer's the in-out attack) which he certainly is capable of, he may have a small of winning. But I don't see him beating a prime Pac with the style he brings and especially at this time in his career. Your counter? I know. But that is also the style against which Naz was at his best.

The problem is, he doesnt get tagged. Also, he has great lateral movement- something that EM and MAB did not have. man, there's the law of averages, pretty soon he'll get tagged. and how many fast punchers he met like pac? his lateral movements didn't do much against mab, and mab's not as quick as pac. remember, pac's arsenal now is not only the straight left.

hamed has no defense, he always has his hands down. yes he bobs and weaves, but against a fast puncher like pac, he'll get tagged pretty soon. i dont know, but i really think he's an arrogant clown who got exposed by barrera. he doesn't have the heart like mab/em or pac to come back from big losses.

if/when these two clash, pacquiao will win by TKO. hamed is a joke.

I wonder when this two will clash?? I will bet for HAMED.. He is one of a kind! Hamed would have beaten Pac, but now, Im not too sure.

You lost credibility on the last fight you predicted ("OMG LACY KO'S CALZAGHE IN LIKE 3 ROUNDS D00D!"). Now go away. I never seen Calzaghe fight before. So i just went with what i thought best. WOW one fight i predicted that went wrong. Only one person would know that........hmmmmm i wonder who :rolleyes: Besides Pac IMO would take out Hammed atleast in a round or two. He was all hype untill he got in a ring with a real champ. Pac is fast and strong and beat barrera. Barrera beat Hammed but now imagine Manny Pac's super lightning fists tagging Hammed face. Brutal KO stopage for Manny Pac. He is going to take over 125+. I never seen anything good come out of Nassem Hammed. Just a unorthodoxed cocky ass fighter who got his ass handed to him on HBO on April 7, 2001 10:30 Pm ET also got his face smashed on the turnbuckle!

Sure. Barrera can shift from brawler to boxer at will. If he had brawled, not boxed, Naz, there's a very good chance that he would have been knocked the fuck out, because Naz was the hardest hitting feather since Arguello and Wilfrido. The Barrera fight proved what Naz always knew, that he had a lot of trouble against the very technically proficient fighters. That's why he never wanted any part of JMM. Naz made the wrong analysis when he chose to fight Barrera instead of Morales, whom he'd had a better chance of beating. He thought both were basically the same fighter, which, of course, proved to be awfully wrong. While I'd favor Pac against Naz, there's the chance that Pac could get caught in one of his incessant offensive rushes. Remember, he got rocked by JMM, who doesn't have half the power Naz used to. A puncher's chance, which is offset by MAB's style. Despite what some people here say, styles DO make fights. Pac's style is just better suited for Naz than MAB's. Thanks Morancito.

Morancito, care to elaborate on that please? Thanks! Sure. Barrera can shift from brawler to boxer at will.

Prime Hamed vs prime Morales would have made for an excellent fight, very competitive. I'll even say it's a toss-up fight, because Morales has a style that suits Naz. But the Prince would NEVER beat Barrera. Terrible matchup. Naz would have a better shot at beating Pac than at beating Marco.QUOTE] Morancito, care to elaborate on that please? Thanks! :)

Like I said, im not even going to argue with you if you think that Naz was in his prime when he got beat. Naz in his prime beats Barrerra and Morales, straight up. When did I say he was worn out? I said he wasnt in his prime. (Ie he had better days). Steve Robinson is pretty much his prime, and he would have beaten Barrerra if he had fought him on the same night he fought Robinson... Prime Hamed vs prime Morales would have made for an excellent fight, very competitive. I'll even say it's a toss-up fight, because Morales has a style that suits Naz. But the Prince would NEVER beat Barrera. Terrible matchup. Naz would have a better shot at beating Pac than at beating Marco.

Pac Ko's this chump in round 1.... 45 secs of round 1.... hehe You lost credibility on the last fight you predicted ("OMG LACY KO'S CALZAGHE IN LIKE 3 ROUNDS D00D!"). Now go away.
