Naseem Hamed v Floyd Mayweather

[Primo Carnera]

Don't go thinking way back then that Floyd was the fighter he is now. I do believe Floyd wanted to fight Naz at a catch weight and Naz's camp didn't want to know. Floyd wins pretty handily in my book.

I just can't see Naz being consistent enough to beat Floyd, or even push him past the middle rounds. Tom Johnson and Steve Robinson were solid wins, but NOWHERE near Floyd's class. Floyd boxes him silly, even more thoroughly than Barrera did.

I doubt Naseem had anything for Floyd, too much of a skill and size advantage for Floyd. Nas started at 114 and topped out at featherweight, Floyd started at super featherweight and would have had a ton of reach on the Prince.

All I can think of is Floyd calling out Hamed in one of his post fight interviews with Larry Merchant and Larry just bluntly saying "...Floyd, Naseem isn't going to fight you." Horrible matchup for a guy like Prince, who was constantly throwing himself off balance.
