Is Naseem Hamed vs Kevin Kelly The Most Exciting Featherweight Fight Of All Time?

If you think Heanrs vs Hagler is the best fight of all time then you have to think Hamed vs Kelly is at least the best featherweight fight.

Why do people draw comparisons between these two bouts? Aside from the early conclusion they really aren't all that close. Not least because Hagler & Hearns knocked lumps out of each other with quality punching from start to finish. Barring the KDs Kelly & Hamed (especially) seemed more obsessed with the cameras.

Hamed/Kelley is my personal favourite fight of all time. Great buildup hype, brilliant ring entrance and a very exciting fight. Hamed was a bit sloppy in the fight but it is still great to watch..

Id agree that it was.

JMM Vs Pacquiao went 12 rounds because none of them had the punching power of Hamed.

Maybe not of Hamed, but they were both BIG TIME punches at featherweight. Moreso Pacquiao, but JMM could crack. Check out his KO of Terdsack Jandaeng (honestly, just because I like saying his name). Big, big puncher.

They have decent power sure. Hamed is on a completely diferent level though. None of them would of lasted longer than Kelly did.

lmao tell that to Marco Antonio Barrea. He punked Hamed and got destroyed by Pacquiao and outboxed (and hurt) by Marquez. Much much better fighter than Kevin Kelly, too.

EDIT: Oh, you were just talking in terms of pure punching power. Yeah, Hamed was unreal. Pac and Marquez are both better at actually LANDING that big punch though.
