Naseem Hamed v Floyd Mayweather

[denilson200]

Who wins - prime for prime at featherweight.

Watching IamInuit thread where Naz fought Tom Johnson and forgot how quick, brutal puncher and southpaw he was.

All these qualities would give Floyd problems and they were wanting to fight one another at one stage. It would have been an excellent fight. I think Naz timing could possibly cause Floyd big problems and he may have even stopped him.

Mayweather would have made a fool out of Naz.

The first time Naz fought an elite level fighter (Marco Antono Barrera) his silly hands down, lunging in style was made to look amateur

Naz was lucky in that he retired at the right time. I think had he had carried on fighting, he would have ran into an upcoming Pac-Man, or Morales or a J.M.Marquez.

Naz reminds of those male tennis player who had a huge serve and a decent all round game. Players like Goran Ivanisevic or Andy Roddick

Their huge serve won them easy points. They won tournaments and both won one grand slam, but they came up short when they faced the elite players, in Goran Ivanisevic's case that's Sampras, Agassi etc, in Roddicks thats Federer, Nadal, Murray, Djokovic but they were fairly consistent players who often made the latter stages of Slams.

Same with Naz, he was so reliant on his power, that he did have the all round boxing skills to beat an elite fighter. Without his power he would lost to Augie Sanchez and Kevein Kelly and struggled against Wayne McCullogh and Paul Ingle.
