Hamed had the kind of build that would have allowed him to fight at 147, I'm sure he would have still been knocking plenty of fighters out at the higher weight classes too. Too bad he retired too soon.Comment

No. I was at the Sanchez fight and Hamed walked past me on the way to the ring and he is incredibly small. His height is listed at 5'4" but he seemed shorter than that to me. I don't think he would have been competitive with the top welterweights.Comment

Maybe not competitive with the elite there but I still believe he would have gotten plenty of knocks out at the higher weights, including 47. It's hard to describe Hamed's build. Broner for example gets described as big which he is, but I don't think he can be that effective even at 140, he's kind of bulky, big on top. Hamed had a very good build for a fighter.Comment

His punches were downright scary. It was hard to believe a guy that small could generate so much power. The last punch he hit Auggie with sounded like someone fired a gun. I've been to dozens of live cards and the only time I heard a louder punch than that was when Andruw Murray knocked out Micheal Covengton with one punch on the under card of Pazienza-Rosenblatt 2.Maybe not competitive with the elite there but I still believe he would have gotten plenty of knocks out at the higher weights, including 47.
