Who had more power Pacquiao or Naseem Hamed?

[gingeralbino]

Pac is easily the better boxer
Naz had easily more power (at 126, and p4p)

[hugh grant]

No it wasnt, not even a little bit. He had a great chin, but had terrible balance due to the way he fought. Naz was never hurt when he went down, he got steraight back up again. And he got that chin tested a lot due to the wreckless way he fought.

I think i can be a bit unbiased here, because Hamed was my favourite boxer back then.
I remember watching Hamed against Kevin Kelly and was so nervous for Hamed. I was fearful that Hamed would go down from the wind of Kellys punches. Kelly could **** a bit. But if i thought hamed had a great chin, i wouldnt have been so nervous for Hamed.
Im more nervous about khans chin though. So im not saying hamed had a terrible chin

I believe Pac hits as hard as Naz......totally. But just doesnt rely on it as much as Hamed. Pac stopped Hatton. Do you think Hamed could? He couldnt stop Steve Robinson and threw the kitchen sink at his chin.

He did stop Robinson. Robinson hadn't ever been stopped and was in the prime of his long title reign. Hamed stopped him and even then Robinson wasn't stopped again until very late in his career as an old man.

But that still doesn't make sense. You can say that with anyone. Pac stopped Hatton, but Hatton had already been stopped previously and was nearly stopped again straight after. If that's the case why couldn't he stop journeyman Melvin Magramo? Magramo had been stopped numerous times before the Pac fight, once by a guy in his debut pro fight and again by a bunch of other guys easily, and yet Pac couldn't do it.

You can find that type of stuff about anyone, but Robinson was a tough cookie and the fact he was stopped is a testament to his power. He was not an easy to break down.

pacquiao's power is underrated.....

I don't think anyone underrates Pac's power. That is one of his main attributes and people have been talking about it for years and he is till considered one of the hardest punchers in the game. What makes him so devastating is the speed he has to go along with his power though. Without his speed, he would be a powerful guy that used accumulation to stop guys, not one punch power.

Hamed took some hits, but all boxers take hits and most dont go down easy. Unless you are a rubbish boxer not high in the rankings. But did Hamed take hits from someone who could ****? Did he face a power puncer ever?
I dont think so.

So because his chin was never tested by being hit flush with power equal to his own, his chin is 'suspect'? Like you said, Kelley could crack a bit and he hit Naz. Naz didn't go anywhere.


I also find the idea of 'evasively styled fighter not liking to be hit = indicative of a suspect chin' strange. Floyd Mayweather doesn't like to be hit, but we know he can take a solid punch when he needs to.

oh so ur smarter than THE RING then?

ok... geez...

[mickey malone]

Is it something i said/



But does it mean Hamed hit harder than Pac?

YES & YES...

Hamed had 37 fights... Mainly in Good company... He was never KO'd...
Took every punch in the book against Barrera.. Never went down..

At featherweight... Naz hits a lot harder than Pac.. Naz's KO percentage proves this..

Without a doubt...

Fischer & Rosenthal are a long standing joke.. A real pair of clowns..
I emailed them, telling them so.. There was no reply, closely followed by the cancellation of my subscription..
They're very similar to a lot of posters on this site.. Totally bias toward US fighters (B/Hop on every other page) They write about overseas fighters as if they're aliens from another world..
Besides... Hamed at #46 is a ****ing joke.. He should be at least #20..
Have another look at their AT 100 Greatest punchers.. Seriously! Rocky Sekorski.. A game journeyman with piss poor resume & a 48% KO ratio against no hopers at number 25!!!!!!! PLEASE mate... STOP reading this ****!!!
