Thread: Naseem Hammed Vs Floyd Mayweather Jr at 130

At Superfeather weight who would win? Naz has speed, reflexes, KO power
and buckets of stamina. Floyd is fast and moves like a rubber man around the
ring.

Who would win?

This is easy. Mayweather would have completely destroyed him. If Hamed was overmatched by Barrera at 126, how do you think he would do against a younger, faster, better fighter at 130?
Mayweather wouldn't have lost a round.

well said, but you failed to mention the wicked power that mayweather had at 130............. even 135

its not even a close fight, prettyboy would beat him inside 4 rounds, anyway the fight would never happen as naz would never sign the contract, unless prettyboy was 47 and having his first fight in 10 years

mayweather wins by ko in 4 rounds or under

naz would have been so unlike anyone mayweather has faught before that it's difficult to predict how he owuld handle fighting someone like naz. i think floyd would deliver a boxing lesson and probably embaress naz but it would have been interesting to see how floyd would have handled being hit by someone like naz.
and i don't think it would have been that unlikely that naz would have signed for this fight, he never really avoided anyone and faught barrera and nearly faught morales. yes his reasons for fighting barrera may have been because he was pretty sure he would make easy work of him (as some of you guys reckon). but lets not forget that barrera was coming off the first fight with morales and so naz had just seen (he was at the fight) how dangerous barrera is and what he can do.
it's just as likely that mayweather wouldn't sign for this fight as it is that naz wouldnt. mayweather hasn't really got a history for fighting the best possible opposition either.

Who was/is that streak of piss Mayweather was fighting there?

Nice matchup, but ultimately you can't punch what you can't see PBF would be too elusive for Naz....
Though Naz had power thats not what it's all about it's takes more then that to beat a world class opponent.

I remember once there was a Naz vs Whittaker at 135 thread... It actually wen't on several pages with different opinions... Let's hope people aren't so silly this time.

I remember after Mayweather destroyed Corrales, in the postfight interview Merchant asked Floyd who he wanted to fight next.
Floyd rattled off a couple names of guys at 130, and then said, "I'd also like to fight Prince Naseem if he moves up to 130."
Merchant started laughing hysterically and said, "Come on Floyd, that won't happen, after watching what you did tonight, Hamed doesn't want any part of you!!!"
And Merchant was right.

Naz also didn't want none of JMM either and turned down a fight against him.....

If Naz lands, Mayweather is going to sleep. And naz was quick enough to land. On the other hand Mayweather may have given naz a boxing lesson. Depends which Naz were talking about. The half assed naz that showed up for barrera would have been schooled big time. Would have been close. Anybody who says Mayweather would kill Nas inside a few rounds is a complete idiot.

To be honest, I cant stand the little cunt. But before people started to try and mend something that wasnt broken Naz was speical, by the time he fought Barerra hed lost it, to many cooks.

Hamed was very versatile

By the time Naseem fought Barera he was a victim of his own hype but even then a prime MAB coulnt stop an easy to hit Hamed and also later admitted that Hamed was the hardest puncher he had faced, he obviously didnt have Mannys punch output but had harder shots

Floyd would have been made to fight a different fight to anything he has done before and would have not dealt with hamed awkwarness before either

Anything could have happened

floyd has an 8" reach over nas, with his speed and power at that weight, + the fact naz didn't have a rock hard chin floyd wins easily unless naz gets a lucky KO punch - and id ont see that happening

Mayweather was stronger at 130, good amount of power... endless stamina and unbelievable speed.

Naz's best wins came over chinny hyped fighters or fighters past it, MAB was never known as much of stylist when he fought Naz and he didn't even out fight he... he shut him out completely... imagine what Floyd would do?

Naz wouldn't lay a glove on him and because of Floyd's recent fights at 147 people seem to have forgeten his strength at 130.
