    Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Prince Naseem Hamed

    If these guys fought back in the day like they should have, who would you favour? I would likely favour Marquez but Prince's punching power may hav caused some problems.

      I think Marquez definitely gets knocked down but with his iron chin, he'd recover and start countering the Prince's lunges and break him down over twelve, earning a unanimous, but close, decision.

        Agreed. Naz always has a shot with that power he possesses, but his hands low unorthodox style is tailor made for sharp counter punchers. Marquez is one of the best counter punchers of his era. Probably only second to Floyd Mayweather. He's one of the best counter punchers in the history of the sport, period. He counters in combinations as well which is even worse for Naz.

          It would probably look a lot like Marquez - Pacquiao I, except more clearly in Marquez's favor.

              I picture that happening.

              Marquez would box Hamed's ears off and win a wide UD, but I think he gets dropped at least once in the process.

              It's one thing to get dropped by Pacman or even an accurate counter puncher like Floyd, but if Alvarado and Katsidis can drop Marquez, I'm sure an awkward power puncher like Hamed can knock Marquez down at least once.

              Even an older Barrera dropped Marquez.

                People acting like a prime Naz couldn't box, smh.

                Naz was fast, the best reflexes in the game at the time and could punch. If damn Norwood can beat Marquez at FW, what you think Naz would do?

                Plus, when Naz was wrecking 126, Marquez wasn't even in his prime, that didn't happen till 02/03, when he got his second world title shot.

                Prime Naz over the 98/99 version of JMM all day and twice on Sundays.
