(POLL) Erik Morales "EL TERRIBLE" vs "PRINCE" Naseem Hammed @ 126

[gingeralbino]

Didnt like the option i voted for as it made it sound one sided for Naz and no way would this be one sided. But its the only KO option for the prince. Morales wouldnt fight like Barerra did imo, he'd go to war. Both have good/great chins. I can see Hamed getting floored on more than one occasion (more being of balance than hurt badly) but getting up each time. Hamed's power would eventually be the difference and he'd end up stopping Morales.

Hamed fighting in front of 90,000 at Wembley he'd want to put on a show.

It would be a fight of the decade candidate.

But I openly admit that i cant be unbiased when it comes to the Prince - he got me watching this sport. I will probably always favour him in mythical match-ups, even though i kinda hate him for getting lazy and quitting

People forget how good naseem was in his prime because of the hate he gets on this forum. Imo he knocks morales out and makes it look easy too.

i got morales winning

[Dynamite Kid]

Morales is not smart enough to decision Hamed without getting knocked out imo, not to say he WOULD! get knocked out because i think he has more chance of knocking Hamed than Hamed has of knocking him out, not a lot more but he has a greater chance of knocking Hamed out because he has better fundamentals and because Hamed leaves himself! open a lot of the time, not that Morales is a bigger puncher because he clearly aint.

This fight is 60/40 in Morales favour imo but he would have to KO Hamed imo, otherwise he gets Ko'ed.

I don't know how Naseem would outbox Morales. Morales is hands down the much more skilled boxer of the two, Naseem is very flawed skillwise; his footwork is bad, his defense is bad. Morales is a more complete boxer but Naseem's power would be too much. Morales can't box all day, at some point he'll fight, no matter who the opponent is. And against Naseem it'd be a big mistake.

If Naseem had basics, he'd have been as great as Pacquiao.

[J.Dempsey]

I was thinking morales, but now I think A prime nas beats a prime morales, nas's reflexes and power were unmatched at his weight, I do believe it's his confidence that was missing from barrera fight is why he lost..

Infront of a home crowd he'd ko morales IMO becoz morales wud keep coming at him

[Bushbaby]

Morales surprised the world by boxing Manny to death in there 1st fight!!If he & I believe he would boxed Naseem he would win easily,because he has the size advantage!!If he disregarded Naseems power he goes to sleep!!I think he boxes!!

[Vasyl’s dad]

lmao Morales getting KOd.

The guy never went down legitimately until Manny stopped him,

and that was past his prime.

A prime Morales getting knocked down by a highly flawed fighter who often went down himself?


Great joke.

Terrible beats the **** out of him, and badly.

Eric Morales did'nt just get drawn into a fight because he let his heart rule his head it was a combination of things, it also had a lot to do with his poor ring generalship and leaky defence imo, he would get trapped near the ropes and get nailed with a punch and then could not resist going to war because he took a good shot. I dare say if he did'nt get nailed all time when he tried to Box that he would not of been drawn into so many battles.

El Mexicano style 101 you get hit then go hit the other guy harder. Morales is guilty of that. Shoot the guy why don't you. It may have been bad for him in certain cases but I loved watching the guy go all out brah.
