Hamed Vs Barrera - Prime 4 Prime

Hamed was prime lets cut the bullshit. Did he train hard or was he well prepared? That could be debated but he was in his absolute prime... It didn't matter if he was 100% or not the only way he wouldn't beaten Barrera if Barrera didn't stick to the gameplan or if he would of landed one lucky punch. Barrera was just greater fighter than Hamed.

We are talking about the same guy that almost got knocked out be Kevin Kelly right? I see the Same outcome a Barrera UD.

barrera wins

People who know about the "Prince" will know he was far from his best when he met Barrera in the ring. After parting with Brendan Ingle and joining Oscar Suarez and Manny Steward, his style had been changed to such an extent that he lost most of his illusiveness and accuracy; his feet were more planted, he threw wide, crazy shots. Plus he lost his desire to train hard, and eventually lost his desire to fight with the large amount of money he made out of the game; he'd been there, done it. Barrera was in his prime, trained hard, and was out to prove a point to the world after his controversial loss to Morales. I'v always believed that a prime Naz of 96-97 would beat Barrera in a tough fight, maybe even a war. With his illusive speed, movement and footwork, off-balance, unorthodox style, and devastating punching power coming from awkward angles, I think he would eventually TKO Marco in the later rounds. Plus, at this stage he was taking the fight game seriously; training with Brendan Ingle, and training hard. He also had something to prove at this stage. Not to mention Barrera was offered the fight by Frank Warren in 96, 98, and again by Naz in 2000 when he fought Augie Sanchez; and he turned the fight down each time; as did many other top ranked super bantam, and feather weights, including the rival champions. hamed WAS prime when he fought mab!!!

I'll go for my boy Barrera at any time. Real bad-ass!

The first time Hamed fought someone of Barrera's caliber, he lost. Nothing more to be said really. I've been meaning to ask, who is the black girl in your avatar?

Prime Naz kills any MAB. You just don't get tired of embarrassing yourself, do you? Barrera beat a prime Hamed. He was young, undefeated and just as cocky as he'd ever been. He was just fighting the best and he didn't measure up. His boxing skills were pitiful, he just spent the entire night trying to land a big left hand. And then, when he finally did, Barrera shook it off. He challenged a fighter who he couldn't drop with one big shot and showed how one-dimensional he really was. Great talent, B-list fighter.

we already saw them fight prime4prime

Prime Naz kills any MAB. you're funny you know that?

Naz late KO psychologically he was finished after parting with ingle,its common knowledge No doubt. This was evident in the McCullough fight, where he never once looked at Ingle, let alone listened to him. Also when he faced Soto, Ingle, Sanchez, where he looked terrible.

I agree - both were as close to being prime as possible! I don't think any excuses can be made on this one. The best man won.

NAZ's sub-Elite (and I mean it) boxing style was tailor made for a true Elite boxer like MAB so MAB beats him everyday of the week and twice on Sundays prime-for-prime. what he said

Lol what a bullshit thread. I guess Barrera beat the prime out of Hamed. If its a bullshit thread then y click on it and waste your time commenting?

Barrera would still whoop his ass.

Hamed was undefeated and def not old,so in his prime,Barrera was just that good and Hamed always was flawed,if his prime was when he get dropped twice by Kevin Kelley then yes,Barrera still beat him.

That was a prime hamed.

Naz couldn't even muster doing his top rope somersault that night. At first he motioned like he was gonna do it, but somehow he couldn't...lol. He knew he was going up against the real deal. I dont think he was lacking confidence, if anything he just became arrogant and felt indestructable, so he got humbled.
