Hamed vs Morales

[Vanilla Gorilla]

WBO Title holder. World Champion in 1995. Top of the Featherweight division.

Meanwhile Barrera was champion as a Bantamweight, fighting Junior Jones and losing.

Marquez wasnt a champion in any division and had under 20 fights under his belt. Please note he was fighting the likes of Freddy Cruz who Naz destroyed before Marquez. Please note Harold Ledermans comment about him...

Morales was a champion inside Mexico... fighting for pretty much regional titles...

Kthxbye.

Morales was just starting his career ? C'mon ...
Barrera ? while losing to Junior Jones at the time wasnt he the one who ended Hameds career ?
I agree about Marquez though.

Again though, during his reing as WBO title holder can you name one credible opponent Pre Kevin Kelley ? please dont say Manuel Medina.

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Hamed was on another planet in his early career, only Jones was more impressive.

But please tell me who was he fighting ?
please name some credible opponents.

I'll bet you cant...

Morales would win. I think it would be similar to Barrera vs Hamed.

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

Yeah in 2001.

Barrera, Morales and Marquez didnt belong in Hamed's league in 1995/6/7/8/9 really. Argue that.

1995-1999?

I beg to differ especially as far as Morales is concerned.

In 1995 Morales was NABF champ and while that may not be all that big neither was Hamed's International WBC title.

in 1997 Morales became the recognized champion at 122 lbs by stopping champion Daniel Zaragoza who had defended successfully against McCullough.

In 1998 Morales Stopped Marco Antonio Barrera Conqueror, Junior Jones in 4 rds.

In 1999 He became the first and only man to stop PR Prospect Angel Chacon

In the same year he stopped Hot prospect Juan Carlos Ramirez in a war.

He closed out the year by giving Wayne McCullough a beating.

[King Koyle]

Morales by decision!

But please tell me who was he fighting ?
please name some credible opponents.

I apologise for having a social life on Saturday night.

Social life must mean im avoiding the question.

Anyway to answer your point, Naseem fought people who were at the time rated as top contenders to his title's. Its no use looking back now and saying "well they didnt turn out to be anything, so they arent 'names'"... If they were a top contender then Naseem faced them at the time. He was considered as the best Featherweight in the world up until he lost. Would you like to dispute this fact with me?

when i look for his name on boxrec, instead of doing it the long way and typing his name into the search engine, i have to find marco antonio barerra's name to find hamed.

what does that tell you?
