Donaire vs Hamed @126

[IMDAZED]

Yes, definitely hurts him if he gets hit. But if Hamed misses, he gets Montiel'ed on the other end. I would love to see this fight, edge-of-your-seat excitement!

Donaire won't have that size/strength advantage over Hamed as he did Montiel. Plus Montiel is nowhere near Hamed's league. Just don't see anything like that happening.

Hamed would KO Donaire, people sometimes use his arrogance against him, his chin was good he had tremendous recuperation abilities.

I think if that Hamed was fighting today he'd be feared in the FW division.

Both men have terrific chins and recuperative powers but at 126 I think Donaire may be a bit too big, too strong and with better fundamentals. A tight, close decision win with maybe a KD thrown in.

I'm not convinced Donaire is stronger at 126. In fact, I doubt it.

its not a clean, cut victory, Hamed has a chance because of his power and when he was at his absolute peak, his speed too and Donaire has lost a lot in his move to 126 but I just think he would eek out a win.

Donaire doesn't have a significant win at 126. Hamed is worlds better than him at that weight class. More power, more speed, better chin, better opposition. Not very close at that weight IMO.

Kevin Kelley decked him hard, Sanchez had him buzzed and knocked him down as did multiple others
Barrera and others visibly hurt him.

He had a good chin at best, it certainly was not ATG material.

Getting decked doesn't necessarily mean you were hurt. The Kevin Kelly first KD for example, Hamed was on the attack and pulled straight back with his chin in the air. He bounced straight back up and was clearly not hurt.

Hamed would stop donaire or when a decision....mid 90s hamed was a freak of nature with the footspeed, reflexes, and power...he threw combos and out of the two his power was better..nonito depends on timing the left took much and hamed was susceptible tp straight punches, not hooks or looping shots both would suffer kds

Late 90s to 2001 hamed would land the harder shots...nonito would be land a few more punches by a kds would win for hamed

I think he is, and when he lands that counter left or straight right it's goodnight for Hamed. Hamed ain't slick like Rigo where Donaire have trouble finding. He can't clown on Nonito, he'll be destroyed the moment he floats his chin in the air. Hamed's gonna wipe the canvass with his short multiple times.

Nonito has amazing reflexes and timing one must not forget and most of all THAT lethal left counter that put down many opponents that I've lost count.
