Barrera fans stop acting like he battered Hamed when he outboxed him

[mneronava2k]

Morales is a single individual name, just one of the fifty five names on Barrera's record at that time. Resumes are evaluated on a whole body of work. If Hamed fought "no one" - gross, nonsensical hyperbole at best; misinformed, ignorant ****e at worst - then Barrera's record was even worse.

Resumes:
So if I was a CEO once, and had a bunch of crappy jobs... And you never were a CEO and had a bunch of crappy jobs--who has the better "resume"?

Hamed fought no one of note. His record was spotless and inflated because of it. Don't be a fanboy-- look at the facts.

Naseem hamed is the last undisputed featherweight champion since I believe Sal Sanchez.

Cleaned out 126 from 1995-2000

you probably wasn't watching boxing then smh

Barrera completely humiliated and bullied hamed. I don't think I gave hamed more than 3 rounds in the fight (maybe 3 is stretching it too).

Hamed was so humiliated from this complete embarrassing fight that he couldn't ever recover mentally.

A lot of respect to Barrera. He truly is an ATG legend.

Im so tired of people describing the fight as a drubbing, a beating, you can tell they haven't watched the fight or haven't in a while.


Barrera outboxed him, and didn't trade much....used his jab and picked his spots....took advantage of Hamed's growing dependence on one punch power and no combos.


A very good display but not a beating

Dude. I'm gonna' skip about 2 hours of getting around to it:

The Barrera win is a better win than anything Floyd has on his record (and likely ever will unless he extends career significantly).

Having said that, there is no version of Pac that beats Floyd up to and including now.

That is all.

People exaggerate because it was nice to see Hamed humbled.

Barrera was amazing that night.

It was, But Hamed already had 1 foot into retirement at this point. He had sacked most of his team, had more money than most dream of and stated that after 17 years, he was pretty much done with boxing.

Not taking anything away from Barrera, but the word around the campfire was that Hameds family made a ton of cash from the bookies in the uk, because they backed a loss with decent odds.

Who knows......

[White_Knight]

Barrera won that fight comfortably.

I've been watching boxing and my family have been involved with boxing for several generations. I saw Barrera fight live and in person many fights before the Hamed fight.

He was champion a little while. He didn't clean out ****. Stop the madness

Nobody has talked about that fight in years. Wtf are you talking about?

[Da Hammer]

Without losing that point in the 12th round, Barrera would have won on 2 judges scorecards 8 rounds to 4 and the other judge 9 rounds to 3. Fight was not close. It wasn't an ass-whooping but Barrera gave him a good boxing lesson that night.
