Pacquiao by brutal TKO in the middle rounds...is the smart bet...but Hamed could also conceivably last the distance...he was a tough little Arab. Hamed would definitely have a puncher's chance though...
Does that last part even need to be said? It's the same with Julian Jackson. Obviously with that kind of power a KO is possible, but what percentage of actual fights with a guy given no more than "a puncher's chance" have won? I've seen that line so many times i'm not sure it needs to be even mentioned any more, especially in MM's.
Julian Jackson would NOT have a realistic puncher's chance against Marvin Hagler, James Toney, SRR, Monzon or Bernard Hopkins. So yes...it does need to be mentioned if there's a more than a realistic chance...like there would be in a Hamed vs Pacquaio fight.
It wouldn't even be a fight. Pacquiao by brutal 1 sided beating. Hamed doesn't even hit that hard. His power looks good against bums. He hit Barrera with flush straight lefts and they did nothing. Pacman's straight left fucked Barrera up. He wouldn't even have a puncher's chance. If he did hit Pacquiao with a straight left, it wouldn't do anything, Pacman has a great chin.
The lil turd has no chance with Manny! Ive said so since the first Barrera fight. Pac TKO 8 in a one sided fight.
I like Pacquiao here for sure... I think you need to be a boxer to beat him, either that or be a freak of nature like Armstrong or Duran... Hamed had the speed and he hit like a train but he simply had no clue how to box and he certainly didnt fight like Duran or Armstrong... I just cant see anyway he can get the better of it... Pacquiao by either stoppage or wide decision
it's hard to say because pac was way more hittable and reckless at 126 than he is now. it's not like you can shrink the current version of pac and compare that against hamed. personally, i think hamed knocks him out in a brutual fashion. pac was way more vulnerable at 126 and below.
i actually there are plenty of guys that beats him at 115-135. it's funny because a guy like mark johnson would've destroyed pacquaio at 115 yet i can see pacquaio beating down kostya tszyu at 140. mayweather vs. pac is a toss up now, but several years ago, pac would've won zero rounds vs. mayweather at any weight.
Hamed Had some serious KNOCKOUT POWER. He also fought with a weird style that confused many opponents. Its a pick em. I can see either fighter getting KO'D.
