Naseem Hamed v Floyd Mayweather

[Primo Carnera]

personality sways fans opinion in boxing more than any other sport

why people love floyd so much and yet dislike naz ill never know

Naz would win by KO him in my opinion

Yeah, cos Floyd's always looked chinny and loads of people have KO'd him in the past haven't they ?
I couldn't give two fucks for either of them as people, just about pure boxing ability.

floyds never been knocked out - what a fantastic analagy of the fight

how about this - In his prime Naz knocked everyone out

1 nil to me

uh, own goal I think. Floyd has been ko'd in 0% of his fights . Naz didn't knock everyone out (if I've told you once I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate. ) .Infact he had an 86% stoppage record , which is very impressive, but his record against "Elite" fighters is fought 1 lost 1 . Mentally, he lost his aura and He couldn't handle that so he had to retire.
Like I've said before, don't think that the Floyd back then was like the Floyd of today. Naz was a very strong , good albeit unorthodox fighter that made an absolute killing back in the day , which he deserves respect for. But do you honestly believe that Corkscrew right from his toes would've got anywhere near the chin of a guy as skilled as Floyd , bearing in mind Barrera dealt with it very comfortably?
so with the own goal, that's 2-0 to me.
