Hamed is the biggest fraud in recent time.

Based on what? Being outboxed by an all-time great in MAB? I don't think so.

[Sir_Jose]

MAB's record at 122 is actually pretty thin. Outside of his fights with McKinney and Morales he didn't really do much of anything.

Top 5 all time.

1. Willy Pep
2. Sandy Sadler
3. Henry Armstrong
4. Salvador Sanchez
5. Alexis Arguello

Wrong. Hamed has as good a resume as any fighter from that era. He actually acomplished alot including beating all 3 belt holders in his division during his riegn something not alot of guys can say they did.

Manuel Medina(4 time Belt holder)
Tom Johnson(Current IBF Champion)
Wilfredo Vasquez(Current WBA Champion)
Wayne McCullough(Former WBC 122lb Champion)
Paul Ingle(Future IBF Champion)
Cesar Sotto(Current WBC Champion)
Vuyani Bungu( Former IBF 122lb Champion)
Kevin Kelley(Former WBC Chmapion)

You also have to keep in mind at the time of the Kelley fight Kelley was thought of as the second best in the division only behind Hamed.

That resume is pretty damn good. I dont hold the MAB fight against him because it was well known by the tim eHamed got to that point in his career he had already pretty much stopped traing and he had also changed his style from that unorthadoxed in and out to a flat footed boxer.

[RipTheJacker]

1. Sandy Saddler
2. Willie Pep
3. Salvador Sanchez
4. Henry Armstrong (??Would be No.1 if he had opportunity to fight these guys)
5. Erik Morales

That's why you avoided him like the plague.

He was pretty intimidating back then. He had Roy Jones influencing him.

Even the great Flushing Flash fell to him.
