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.

bringing naz's loss to mab into a discussion is like bringing tysons loss to mcbride into a discussion

2 nil me

How do you work that out Einstein? they're totally different. Naz's loss to MAB was his first and only loss coming off a 35 fight winning streak and he was 27 years old.
Tyson was 39, had been beaten by Danny Williams in his Previous fight , had done time , drugs and all sorts of shit.
I suppose it makes sense in your World.
Don't let the facts deter you though , you just keep dredging out the same old horseshit.

Both fighters careers were over before the fight

Cummon maan, you'll look daft if you try and argue naz was prime against mab

It's funny how nobody thought Naz's career was over before the MAB fight? The only reason it was over was because MAB took his invincibility away. He'd reached his level and couldn't accept it.
And if it was over before the MAB fight! when exactly was Naz's Prime? Because as good a career as he had till then, nothing stacks up to what Floyd has done. Back then, Floyd was a different fighter to what he is now. He would've schooled Naz for a few rounds and very possibly took his heart and either stopped Naz or made him quit "no mas" style. And he would've done this to the Naz before the MAB fight, or any time you consider as Naz's prime.

Brenden Ingle did

Yeah , he did , and maybe he was right. But only cos Naz sacked him off.
