Manny Pacquiáo v Naseem Hamed @ 115lb & 122lb

I'm sure Frank Warren was quoted recently as saying Hamed would take Pacquiáo at Super-bantamweight/Junior-featherweight (or maybe it was Bantamweight, I forget)...but regardless:

• Manny Pacquiáo v Naseem Hamed @ 122lb
• Manny Pacquiáo v Naseem Hamed @ 115lb

Who you got and why?

 

The 122 lb version of Hamed blasts the 122 lb version of Manny into bolivian

 

Pacquaio ever fight at 115?

122 is kind of interesting to me... Both guys would be dealing with something neither of them ever dealt with... Southpaws with ridiculous speed and power... I have a hard time even visualizing the matchup

 

I'd feel comfortable betting on Manny to handle Hamed's power than Hamed handling his.

Manny's done far more against much better competition than Hamed ever did.

Shouldn't be any disagreement over Manny's accomplishments vs Hamed's.

 

Accomplishments Alone DON'T Win Fights Though, Brother MUZSE...For All of Hamed's Flaws, Pacquiao was ALOT More Basic @ the Lower Weights, in a BAD Way...Manny was a Seek & Destroy, Jab, Jab, Jab, Straight Left Guy...That was ALL he Did...Prince was @ his Best as a COUNTER Puncher, which he Would Be, Squaring Off w/a Lower Weight Manny Pacquiao...Hamed would Be UNLIKE Anybody Pac Ever Experienced, in a Smaller Man...

 

Pac Debuted @ 106 & won his 1st World Title @ 112...He was KO'ed @ the Lower Weights Too...

 

Why would Hamed have issue with Pac's power? I'm still waiting for someone to point out a time Hamed was actually hurt in a fight, not knocked off balance because of his goofy-ass footwork, but actually HURT

Muzse is incapable of objectivity with regard to Hamed

 

I know all that, MAN!!!

I mean did he ever fight as a Junior Bantamweight?

 

w/Out Looking, REED's Pretty Sure Pac Made @ Least a BRIEF Pitstop @ 115...

 

You can't even BoxRec that, those bastards took out the weight lists

 

If you Log-Into the Site, the Weights Appear...

 

Dropped not hurt vs Daniel Alicea
Dropped twice (see, 'goofy-footwork'), hurt once vs Kevin Kelley

 

:mj:

 

bullshit

 

He was rocked/rubbered by a hard left hook vs Barrera. But it was flush on the button and he recovered within a few seconds so if anything i'd say it was confirmation that he has a sturdy chin

 

Worrd... The dude had a good chin

 

Go back and re-watch Rd2 - dude was definitely hurt.

 

nah, not really

 

Yep.
1:30 of Rd2.

If folks are saying "Hagler's hurt!!" after that Hearns right-hand, circa 00:30, Rd1, then Hamed is definably hurt here.

 

Don't really see it man. He got hit full force on the button with his chin in the air twice in about 5 seconds. It physically shook his body and put him off balance but he was right as rain within 2 seconds.

 

this

 

folks are saying that, I'm not

 

Pacquiao KO 1.

 

...

 

......

 

naz had a good chin no doubt

pac back then was very very one dimensional

good fight IMO
i don't even think Naz knocking out Pac is out of the question

 

Hamed skipped 122, I think. That was when Barrera held the WBO JFe title.

I would pick Pacquiao without much confidence and I would be rooting for Hamed.

Hamed isn't the type of fighter who anyone can be expected to beat every time out. He just hit too hard and his delivery system was too unique.

 

what?

 

Fine, he fought there under a year, against no one with a pulse, and moved up to featherweight for a title shot, probably because Barrera was holding the 122 lb title he would have targeted.
