Junior Jones vs Naseem Hamed

[Snake...]

Who wins?

[Kagami Taiga]

I'd go with poison on this one.

Naz by early KO, rounds 3-4. I think when measuring Jones as a fighter, the McKinney and Morales performances are probably a better measure of where he was as a fighter then the two wins against Barrera. I think it's similar to Kelley, Naz could take Jones power, but I don't think Jones can take Hamed's shots.

Mixed feelings about this one....


i'd definitely root for Hamed though

I remember thinking Jones had a chance when he beat MAB. Because he throws good long shots. But his chin wouldnt hold up. And Hamed was too fast. To beat Hamed you need to draw him in and counter. Not sure if Jones would be smart enough.

Exactly. To say Jones was packing glass would be too far, but once you got him going his powers of recovery were not good, and he wobbled many times over his career. That to me is a recipe for disaster stepping in against Hamed. I think Jones could get to Naz also, but like I said before the difference between hurting Naz, knocking him down, and actually stopping him is huge. He had a good chin overall.

If Jones boxed he would keep Hamed off balance all night. Once he slugged with Hamed the fight would be Hamed's.

Dont get why this didnt happen like so many other fights etc morales,tapia,ayala would have made for some good boxing nights. However Naseem by Ko too strong as soon as jones traded it would be over.
