Hamed v Morales who wins

Hamed v Morales

initially i thought Morales because when Hamed is put under preassure he loads up and swings wide but then i had a rethink because Morales was very easy to hit and much more inclined to get into a war than most fighters and if you are to put Hamed on the backfoot and preassure him you need to be able to take his power because plenty of fighters have been KTFO trying to walk Hamed down Kelly,Ingle to name a few and i dont believe any FW in the world was capable of taking Hamed's power if he landed flush

Morales was hit flush by McCullough,Barrera,Pacman,Chi,Kelly,and he was not as cute of a fighter as Barrera he was easier to hit he was easier to trap on the ropes and he just did not have the Boxing brain of Barrera allthough he was a tremendous fighter and a real warrior im a fan of MAB,Morales,Naz,JMM,Pac, all of them but

who you got

I think in his prime Morales would just have had too much game for Hamed. You are right though, it is always dangerous going to war with the Prince.

yeah when i see Morales fights and i see how easy he was caught flush at times and how he would go to war when it was more benficial for him to Box it makes me think a shoot out with Hamed would mean him taking some huge power shots on the way in and as i said i honestly dont believe any FW in the world takes Hamed's power if he lands cleanly

morales can outfight, outbox, and outhustle hamed any day of the week

Hard to say. I favour Morales, Hamed's main advantage is power and unpredictability and Morales overcame those pretty well in Pacquiao first time out. Also am I right in believing that prior to his old man losses to Pacquiao he had never even been down? Or was it just stopped?

[!! AI-Holmes!!]

I give it to Morales by SD..

but he cant take Hamed's power and he get hit a lot and he is not cute enough to do what Mab did he is all guns blazing that gets him canvased with Naz

[Chunk..]

The yanks hated Hamed! ****, i wasn't to found of him either but he had unbelievable Punch power and fast hands. He had **** all heart though.

[Addition]

Morales is his prime would've been too much for Hamed.

hamed never wanted to tango with any of the big 3 at the time...the only reason he took on MAB was because he was coming off a loss to El Terrible..


with that said, it would be foolish to dscount the punchers chance of Hamed...he would always be in the fight...however, there have been stretches in EM's bouts, especially at 130, where he relied on his underrated boxing skill...the basic jab, one-two combos that MAB employed could also be replicated, IMO, by EM...if he stayed loyal to that gameplan, i can see him winning a points victory
