I think this fight would have been fukkin ridiculous had both these combatants met prime for prime at either super bantam or featherweight. Hamed had some crazy power, and a rock solid chin, and Morales had a granite chin and a come forward style. This would have been a banger.
Morales would not outbox Hamed because he is not disciplined enough. Also while i think Morales was a great fighter his ring generalship/craft was poor, he used to get trapped and caught on the ropes and he could not stick to a game plan.
Jesus Chavez,Hernandez,In Jin Chi,McCullough gave him hell. He tried to Box against Espada and some people had him losing that fight.
Im not saying Hamed deffo wins but i dont think people should dismiss him so easily the dude was a good counter puncher with crazy power.
Barrera MADE Hamed come foward, it was one of his game plans going into the fight. You attack Hamed like i believe Morales would of done and you might find yourself on the canvas and out of the fight like Ingle,Kelly,Sanchez etc etc.
I think Morales would HAVE to KO Hamed to win, and i think he is capable of it to. 50/50 fight for me.
Agreed - Morales was certainly capable of pulling a win out if he just boxed and kept his head, but if he was on top and decided to start attacking Naz there's a good chance he'd have been KO'd with a counter as happened to many others.
everyone is forgetting how GREAT ERIK was in his prime ...
Erik can fight Naz any way he chooses to, maybe get busted but still manage to win pulling away and its not out of the question Erik Koing Naz at 122 or 126...

Morales = Pacquiao
vs
Hamed = Hatton
Morales k.o 2:fing02:proof you know literally NOTHING about boxing.
Hamed was never hurt in his career, never even came close to being hurt in his career.
prime Hamed would have beaten Morales probably KO, the Hamed that fought MAB would have lost a UD, probably slightly wider than the MAB result.
This fight could go either way imo.
Morales gets caught by Hamed you better believe he is getting knocked out. Morales had a good chin but he took too many flush shots.
McCullough,Chi both landed cleanly on him. Jesus Chavez had him buzzed early in their fight if i remember right, and Daniel Zarragoza hurt him to i seem to remember.
Morales was a good fighter but he got drawn into a war far too much. I think this fight goes either way. I might be biased but im leaning towards Hamed by stoppage.
Manuel Medina is as tough as they come and even he could not take what Hamed could dish out.
Wayne McCullough is just not human. How can a guy take what he took from Morales,Harrison,Hamed.
I remember screaming at my TV for someone to please stop the fight...

im rewatching wayne v erik now, 1 round in, forgot how good this was. its on youtube
Watching him now also, It just show how much morales had declined in recent years.
I dont know who to blame for this fight not happening, People were saying Morales wanted too much money but i say he deserve it because he was fighting a big-name at the time.
And you know what Naz's ego he would want the big share of the pot.

This would have been a war which would never have been forgotten in the history of the sport. Thats why i hate naz as much as i love him, he robbed us all of some amazing fights he could have had.
No way would Morales have fought like Barrera did against the prince. A toe to toe was until one man was no longer able to get up any longer.
I got prince by KO, but he'd have to get up of the floor at least twice to do it.

Nobody could, hell, even tyson probably couldnt KO the pocket rocket
Even Morales said McCullough was crazy, Thats what you call a chin...He doesnt get stop by anyone unless the referee or ring doctor stops it...Tough bastard lol

Morales has one of the best chins ever for a FW.
Hamed had great recovery skills.
Morales was landing big right hands on Pac in their first fight. I think he does the same on Hamed, but would have him down many times.
Hamed couldnt hurt McCullough and a few others. I think it would be like Hamed - Kelly, but with Hamed losing.

Edit, Morales couldnt knock Wayne down either by the way, really bad name to give as an example for this!!!
Would have been a crazy fight though, Naz had crazy power and throw is punches from different angles...Morales in his prime was a beast who would eat one punch to land his.
Hamed wouldn't be able to stand toe to toe against Morales during his prime. Once he tasted blood, he would go wild-eyed and trade punches like a mad man and somehow endure punishment. Would've enjoyed watching the crazy exchanges between the two champs. :boxing:

I think Morales would have outboxed him easily. But I don't think Morales and his people were that confident because they has the opportunity to make the fight and turned it down several times.
