Re: Pacman v Hamed
Somone said any version of MAB would have beaten any version of Naz ?
Remember MAB getting beat up by Jnr Jones ? I think that Naz when he was at his best had the style to hit and hurt Barrera and the fight would have been very different.
The split with Ingle and the obvious decline mentally and in his reflexes of Naz by the time he fought MAB are not excuses they are observations I have made from watching Naz from his first pro fight.
You cannot deny the power Naz possed or the problems the Ingle style caused fighters. The punch you don't see coming is the one that hurts and Hamed landed very hard punches just when they were least expected. I think the attitude Naz had )similar to Eubank until the last part of his career) made a lot of enemies amongst boxing fans and this affects their opinion of how good he was - and how could he could have been.
In no way am I direspecting MAB or Pac - both exceptional fighters who have graced the sport
