Prime Naseem Hamed vs Pacquiao @ FW

[Dirk Diggler UK]

122 is super bantamweight 126 is featherweight

I haven't agreed with a single thing you said

You originally said it was at flyweight before you edited your post.

You havent really said a lot. The common argument seems to be...

"LOL Naz lost to Barrera so Pac wud kill him....pwn"

Im done here.

Pacquiao would probably win though.

[joelab75]

LOL @ someone who think Hamed will beat a raw Pac in 126 lbs.

[studentofthegam]

We are talking at 126 lbs here guys.

Barrera was spot on prime when he beat Nas and he was a couple of years past prime when Pac beat him. Same Pac couldn'rt beat JMM or Morales when he moved up.

Pac's best fighting weight is 140-147. Even fighting Marg he was still 150. Thats the grounds I use to give the KO to Naz.

Also Naz is the harder puncher.

And Kevin Kelley and Wayne McCulloch weren't bums. No more than JMM and Cotto.

Would Hamed fans stop saying he was past his prime. That was conjured up after his loss to Barrera and he was 27yrs old. Kelley was well past his prime and had many wars, thats a fact and still managed to put the Prince on his ass. McCulloch was not that good either.

Naz won every title at featherweight. Just cos you're a "bigger legend" doesnt mean you win every fight

Barrera is a legend but he lost to Junior Jones. Morales lost to Raheem. Styles make fights and Pac's style at feathweight would play right into Naz's

My arguement for Pac is that he goes all the way in. Hamed likes to lean straight back and thats what Barrera capitalized on. Imagine Pac coming with guns blazing. He would have overwhelmed him. Plus Pac's hands get there a lot faster than Marco.

Hamed was a good fighter who relying on his reflexes and punching power. Pac was a also a good fighter but not as good as now. At 126 both has the power to knock each other. I choice Pac to beat Hamed because Hamed style of fighting...hands to low and wide open defenses. Pac fast hands and footwork will able to hit him first.

In a brawl, I pick the guy with the harder punch and the better chin.

And that was Naz on both counts

Better CHIN? Really? So in what was supposed to be his coming out party here in the US, he gets knocked down THREE TIMES: when has Manny Pacquiao ever been knocked down? In any weight division: against Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Cotto, Hatton and Margarito, not a single KD has been scored against him..

Are you being sarcastic?

[betmen]

Smh...people voting against people they dont like instead of analysing the fight.

exactly
i am manny fan and naz fan too. and this my prediction
yes manny is reckless in FW but his power and speed overwhelming every opponent except chessmaster JMM.
Naz have better chin and skill but i still doubt his stamina, and i dont believe naz have better power and he is reckless too with his hand always down.

so when two reckless awkward southpaw with power and speed happen face to face, it will be a war 4-5 round ko for NAZ or 10-11 round ko for pac.

[The_Demon]

Very difficult pick,if forced too choose id favour hamed as manny wasnt the all round fighter he is today down at 126,but it really could go either way

The poll results dont surprise me,people in NSB arent very good analysts and its more of a popularity contest,this would be better in the history section where the good posters are

[bojangles1987]

Pacquiao is simply a higher caliber of fighter than Hamed. It would not be easy, it would be incredibly fun to watch, but Pacquiao would stop him.
