In his prime Hamed would have won a fire fight.
Neither would have to go too far to find each other but Hamed had pretty scary power as did Pacman. It would probably be a 8 knockdown fight and definately would be a fight of the year. Im sure Hamed would win the early rounds being defensive and Pacquiao would come on in the mid rounds and it would be near even down the stretch when the firefight breaks up.
I'll pick Hamed in a firefight but it would have been one of the greatest featherweight fights to see. just my 2 cents. I lean towards Hamed because Pacquiao wouldn't try to outbox him like Barerra but outslug him, and no one outslugged hamed and no one outslugs pacquiao so it would be an awesome match but Hamed has angles and defense pacquiao has never had to defense and was a very good counterpuncher as people have probably forgotten. But Pacquiao has a power Hamed hasn't seen before either so it makes it a pick em. If Hamed hadn't gotten such a big head that it prevented him from remembering defense then this would have been the fight of the millenium. Hamed is what 29 now?
