Read the "missed opportunity" paragraph in that article near the bottom. JMM even admits Hamed did offer him a fight in 2000, proposed for the night he ended up fighting Augie Sanchez(and after he faught Bungu as i stated before). JMM chose not to fight though claiming he had a hand injury.
If im not mistaken it was almost a done deal i forgot what year but i remember it being in ring magazine they had a big story on it. I actually think Hamed would have won at that point in time.
marquez priced himself out.
i think juanma could have decisioned naseem like barrera did but hamed would have had a punchers chance.
if naseem caught juanma with a clean shot..........well hamed did hit harder at 126 than pacquiao at 126.........

I bet JMM was glad he missed the fight when he saw Augie get smashed and carried out on a stretcher.
Anyne who thinks prime Naz doesn't give JMM or Pac serious problems is a ****** and needs to watch some of his fights again. If Naz hit Pac with a clean shot he wouldn't have gotten up for a week, he was a harder puncher and had a better chin.

I think Naz would knock out the Pacquiao that was at featherweight/super feather. Pac wasnt as roundly skilled as he is today, he'd walk forward into a huge counter from Naz and it'd be over.
JMM is different cos he was a counter puncher himself. Barrera confused Naz by counter-punching and Naz wasnt anywhere near as effective having to lead and got picked off by MAB
I think that was the golden era of the featherweight division..something we will never see again. So many fights should have been made
Prince Naseem Hamed
Paulie Ayala
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrerra
Johnny Tapia
Juan Manuel Marquez
Kevin Kelley
Enrique Sanchez
Israel Vasquez (from 122)
Derrick Gainer
These were all great fighters during that time and should have been more fights made betweeen them during 00-03 time period.
