    Prince Naseem Hamed vs Antonio Esparragoza

    Prince Naseem Hamed vs Antonio Esparragoza at 126lbs of course who you got in this one I would personally go with Esparragoza with his rhythm based offense I think he would have blistered Hamed with a steady stream of punches
    in all the fights of Esparragoza I have seen he was never off balance finished all his combos on balance and never stopped his rhythmic punching upstairs and downstairs I don't think the Prince would have time to load up against such a steady Barrage of punches knocking him even more off balance than he always was though with the princes power he always had a chance but I don't think he gets to take advantage of it and is beaten in a very very wide UD

      Esparragoza Defiantly was a come forward fighter and not the most accurate puncher making up for it with shear volume of solid punches but was never off balance and if he was in range he did not stop throwing punches

      a great fight to watch is his title winning fight against Stevie Cruz he was alot like Arguello but so so smooth and always working like to a metronome

          pretty hard to get much of a read on Esparragoza , he beat Stevie Cruz, and that's about it for talented opponents. I only saw him fight once (Cruz), he looked good but Hamed was much more proven. Hamed KO9

            This would be a hard one to guess. We can't use Barrera's win over Hamed because Esparragoza wasn't as good as Barrera. But I only seen Esparragoza's fight with Cruz.
