I agree, Hamed was never in that class only his hype was.
As for Em vs JMM, I think Em would win everytime. Just like Pac would win everytime over Mab, but Pac vs JMM and Pac Em would always be 50/50 just like Em vs Mab.
This is ofcourse base on the fighters 126 pound days.
he would have got caught and kept coming, we're talking about the prime Morales who NOBODY was ever to legitimately knockdown, much less knock out, Morales would have systematically taken Hamed apart and either stop him late (IMO Morales had more power behind his shots) or beat him by a clear decision
LOL!!! Agree to disagree my friend because I think we could go on and on about opinions of who would win and how. And on a side note your user name explains alot; I could chose a prime Roy Jones vs Morales and you would probably pick him to beat Jones.BTW Merry Christmas everybody.
122-126 lbs, year 2000-2005, I'd pick Morales.
126-130+ lbs, year 2005+, I'd pick Marquez.
In their primes at featherweight I pick Morales. Marquez is good but a faded Barrera beat him at superfeather IMO.
As for Nas vs Morales, Erik would have walked on to a lot more punches than Marco did. Barrera had a good boxing brain and defence which is essential vs Nas. Erik didnt have either of those and let his heart rule his head so its a toss up.
Barrera possibly could have won if it was in 2000 but no way would he have stopped him, i mean Pacquiao is and always was a bigger puncher than MAB was and well he was unsuccessful in putting Marquez away, i'm pretty sure that Barrera would have used his boxer/puncher style instead of his more technical approach, going down to the body and staying on his toes moving around behind his jab, cause if he tried to just slug Marquez would counter, making it a tougher fight than needed, and back to the real fight that happened, Barrera was also the only one to hit the other guy while he was clearly down, so well karma's a bitch lol
morales' aggressiveness would have been his undoing against a sharp counterpuncher like marquez. often, morales very easily got taken off his gameplan (box technically) and got drawn into a slugfest whereas marquez almost always stuck to his gameplan and didn't let the other fighter dictate his style of fighting. marquez by SD.
