Why was Barrera able to beat Naseem Hamed so easily?

[SunSpace]

Barrera was an amazing fighter, no doubt about it, but I'd never pick him to beat Hamed in a prime vs prime match-up.

In his prime, Hamed was a smaller version of Roy Jones.

Heck, even more impressive, visually, than Roy.

That kind of natural superiority cannot be touched. He was superman.

He's one of the only fighters I'd ever vouch for in an "eye test" kind of way (since I don't really believe that's enough in most cases).

But I'd go that far.

And the swagger, man.

He wasn't human.

Hamed was 27 and Barrera was 27 years old man it was a prime for prime match up wtf?

Hamed got exposed big time.

anybody can look like pernell michael jordan if you are fighting nothing but a buncha scrubs.

past prime glass jawed kevin kelley dropped prime hamed.

anybody with a modicum of intelligence and honesty would have seen the MAB thrashing.


his response to the MAB defeat tells you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about the chinless, gutless islamist.

Crazy, I know; I can't even believe I'm saying it.

[FrankieClutch]

Not sure how much I buy all the "motivation" stuff. At the end of the day, Barrera was very technically sound and Hamed constantly made himself off balance and Barrera took advantage of that.

[SterlingStained]

A real champion shows you how to deal with a loss, with setback.

A fraud quits after one more fight, goes fat, and paralyzes a working man.


Hamed = ********* fraud.

FACTS.

Hamed was 27 and Barrera was 27 years old man it was a prime for prime match up wtf?

That was a first. If Hamed wasn't in his prime then I don't know what a prime is
