I'm not talking about ring walks or hype antics, I'm talking strictly about in ring fighting.
Both great fighters and both hugely exciting power punching KO artists.
I'm going with Naz because his knockouts were cleaner and because his vulnerability's always made it edge of your seat viewing....

Hamed 36-1 (31 KO's)
Golovkin 35-0 (32 KO's)

Naz, more entertaining in the ring with his style.
But GGG is a more clinical finisher.
Obviously I'd go with Naz. Golovkin has power but he usually breaks his opponents down and is patient in doing so. Naz had better one punch knockout power and like previous posters said was more vulnerable which made it exciting. I think Naz also beat better opponents too which made it that much more exciting.
You don't think his vunerability and recklessness made him exciting?
To each his own. I just don't find much entertainment watching a fighter stumbling off balance around the ring for 6 rounds before he lands one punch and ends the fight. Against pretty poor competition at that.
Naz's entrances were more exciting than his fights. He looked really vulnerable against bad opponents, i.e. got knocked down several times.

As far as the intellectual plane of where boxing is between these two distinct times. I'd say Naseem was winning by double digits. Boxing is running itself into the ground and everyone is to blame...........
and everyone will suffer, justly
Tonight is a black eye for boxing, not lil g's opponent. Wade didn't lose tonight boxing lost tonight.Amen.
I'm just sad for boxing that HBO has fallen so far to resort to these bum fights.
Naz did it against real competition, lil g is actually going backwards interns of competition.

Hamed fought Barrera, McCullough, and Kevin Kelley (names on the resume that I can, for sure, say were legit opponents) and flatten nearly everyone that they fought.
Who has Golovkin fought that, five years from now, a person can look to the history books and say "that was a real opponent that Golovkin beat"?
