Classic Matchup: Marquez vs. Hamed (ESPN "experts" debate)

JMM beats him imo

That's no fight. Hamed, as Champ he was selling big numbers, so the promoters and orgs kept him away from Juan Manuel Marquez who was stuck sitting in the MANDATORY challenger spot for over two f*<kin' years while Hamed fought everybody else. Mandatory clearly doesn't mean $#!t in boxing!

Hamed was a terrific puncher, but Marquez would have took him apart in even more dominant fashion than Barrera did.
Barrera got the shot that should have been Marquez' because they thought the Prince at least had a chance of winning against Barrera.

I really believe that an elite Top 3 fighter with solid fundamentals and refined skills on top of that will defeat these unorthodox top guys who rely on speed and athleticism like the Prince, Roy Jones, and Muhammad Ali that really don't know how to box...

*Marquez by KO.

This one is a no brainer. Hamed would catch a beatdown simliar to the one by Barrera except he wouldnt see the 12th..

[THE THIRD MAN]

Hamed's only foray into the Premier league was against Barrera and we all saw what happened there, Marquez is in the Premier league and he wins.
I've said it before and i will say it again Hamed was the 'Prince' who turned back into a toad. Barrera went on to fight Morales and Pacquiao twice each and Marquez too yet Hamed seeks no rematch with Barrera?
He loses one fight, then waits another year then retires age 28? (Barrera was the same age as Hamed when they fought) Real champions comeback from defeat, they learn and live to fight another day and overcome setbacks. Marquez is the perfect example.

Marquez, Pacquiao and Morales all beat Hamed.

Oxymoron.

Had Hamed faced Marquez, Pac would've never gotten credit for inventing the "plank" years later.
