Pac @ 126 have 1-0-1 against MAB & JMM the two best FW at that time, that same Pacquaio will give a Hamed a lot of trouble he has never encountered before....
Pac at that point could handle anything Hamed brings ...
Pretty much how I see it. Manny fought Barerra twice and Morales 3 times and stopped both of them, I mean Jesus Christ, Hamed had never come close to anything like that.
Naz won every title at featherweight. Just cos you're a "bigger legend" doesnt mean you win every fight
Barrera is a legend but he lost to Junior Jones. Morales lost to Raheem. Styles make fights and Pac's style at feathweight would play right into Naz's
Good shout, also Hamed is arguably one of the hardest hitting Featherweights ever.
Hamed would KO Pacquiao if Pac decides to make it a fight. Only way anyone wins against Naseem is by boxing and not falling for his mind games. As for Pacquiao stopping Naseem...lol...no one stops the prince. His chin was underrated.
Manny probably hits the canvas at least once early on. His speed and power will catch up though and stop Naseem around the 6th or 7th round. Naz never fought a guy as persistent or hard hitting and PAC.
Pac is the bigger guy here, he can rehydrate up to 135-140 while still maintaining his speed. When he was at 130, he rehydrated up to 140-145.
The pac that beat barrera would beat hame. That guy has so much fire and hunger in him. He feels like he had so much to prove everytime. Pac's chin was way tougher at 126-130 than it is at 147.
Funny how people say pac fought a past prime barrera when barrera was 28 at the time he quit against pac.
Morales I was also the last prime morales we saw, and he beat pac, it was down hill from there esp when he played with his weight.
Pac will blitz hame, and mentally disables him. And will outwill and outwork him.
Pac via KO.
Hame also lowers his hands, that one handed pac can shoot his straight left like he did marquez. And unlike marquez, hame may quit the first round lmao.
yep, pac was the bigger guy. he was fighting at the same weights as a teenager that hamed fought at as a grown man, hamed was a small dude, small for 126
I heart the Prince. But come on it should be evident by now his competition was not exactly up to par. And when he did step up we saw what happened. Let's leave it at that. Great career, great legacy, HOFer.
prince's resume was pretty good given who was out there for him to fight. jmm/morales/barrera were all a little bit bigger than him.
We are talking at 126 lbs here guys.
Barrera was spot on prime when he beat Nas and he was a couple of years past prime when Pac beat him. Same Pac couldn'rt beat JMM or Morales when he moved up.
Pac's best fighting weight is 140-147. Even fighting Marg he was still 150. Thats the grounds I use to give the KO to Naz.
Also Naz is the harder puncher.
And Kevin Kelley and Wayne McCulloch weren't bums. No more than JMM and Cotto.
we are and hamed wasnt all that great at 126, so i would favor pacquaio. pac hadnt peaked skillwise though and got a lot better under roach, so either guy could get stopped here.
Who wins & how?

Shootout. Manny too much... way too much speed for prince, manny lands the left hand at will, drops prince about half a dozen times, prince's corner finally throws in the towel...
Much like manny-Barrera 1, but more competitive, prince would land some bombs
Now I get that people dug this up to hate on Pac and therefore are over-hyping how good Nas was...just going to leave this as a reminder how Nas handled a faded, southpaw
Pac at 126 has the power and speed to beat Hamed just like what he did to Barrera but we will never know. If they fight after Barrera beat him then Pac surely will beat him too. After that fight, Hamed showed his lack of heart, didn't have a true warrior spirit and never been the same after just one prime elite fighter beat him.

FF to 4:25 It damn sure wasnt balance. And he looked hurt.
Hurt?
Kelley caught him with a good shot but he got straight back up. He then went toe to toe for the remainder of the round.
At what point did he "think about not getting up"?
FF to 4:25 It damn sure wasnt balance. And he looked hurt.
Ive probably seen that fight more than any other. He pulled straight back with his chin in the air and Kelly caught him with a punch.
He wasnt hurt. You obviously dont know what "hurt" means if you think Naz was there.
i actually think decision to pac, naz was too bendy and all over the place to be KO'd and i dont think he's be able to KO pac due to pac's heart...
wud've been a good fight though
Morales did turn lefty for him to land those big shots.
OMG
Naw Kelley hit his ass. He thought about not getting up.
Thats why I cant really discuss things with Naz fans. They are totally hypnotized by his dances. Its the most mind blowing point of view on boxingscene. I mean who the hell brings up McCollough as a huge win. Sad.
LOL yeah, he was on the floor begging the ref to stop the fight...
Hamed by TKO/KO. Pacquiao at featherweight wasn't a seasoned fighter, that is the major difference. Pacquiao isn't knocking Hamed out at featherweight unless you're delusional. Hamed had a granite chin, and toe-to-toe Hamed would have picked the Pacquiao of featherweight apart.
And yes I'm deadly serious. If Pacquiao was a seasoned fighter at featherweight (the fighter he is now) then Hamed loses via UD.
