    The reality of the matter is that Hamed did not show the intangibles I mentioned in the Barrera fight. He didn't show he had heart, mental toughness, a willingness to gut it out, in a tought fight against an All time great fighter.

    Every once in a while, there is a thread about how Hamed would do against a Pacquiao, Morales, JMM, etc. Hamed looked great fighting against the likes of Kevin Kelly, Wayne McCullough, Steve Robinson, etc. But guys like Pacquiao, Barrera, Morales, JMM are not those kind of fighters Hamed is used to fighting. They are a whole different league in terms of talent and mindset.
    Naz getting outboxed by Barrera shows he didn't have heart? That's a harsh way to judge fighters. Bascially any fighter that gets soundly beaten doesn't have heart, mental toughness or a willingness to fight it out.

    I guess Barrera showed he doesn't have heart, mental toughness or a willingness to fight it out in the Pac fights?

    Maybe Naz lost because Barrera simply fought a better fight than him
    I haven't watched the Hamed-Barerra fight in 6 or 7 years but what I remember was that Hamed was trying to resort to dirty tactics out of frustration and then looked like he was mailing it in in the mid to late rounds when it looked like it was a tough fight against an all time great and he couldn't possibly edge it out.

    JMM was getting outboxed by Floyd, but it never looked like he was going through the motions and had already given up. Pac was getting outboxed and suffered a cut against Morales in their 1st fight he didn't look to mail it in and go through the motions.

    Hamed looked great beating guys like Robinson, Kelly, McCullogh, but how did he look when he finally step it up against a Barrera? Just because Hamed looks great against B+ fighters doesn't mean he beats A-list fighters like a Pac, Barrera, Morales, JMM, etc.

    Remember there was a recent Valero thread, where the majority said that Valero easily KOs/beats Pac because Valero looked so great at 135 with a 100% ko ratio in his career? But what people don't realize was that he never beat elite A+ competition (meaning atg or even p4p figthers), so I find it hard to believe he kos pac easily. Same thing I feel here with Hamed.
    Naz tried to land his KO shots the whole fight. That's where he went wrong. He was arrogant and deluded enough to believe one punch would end the fight. He expected Barrera to come forward allowing him to counter with his bombs, but obviously Barrera was smarter than that and did the virtual opposite.

    You can't say he lacked heart for fighting a bad fight, being beaten by a smarter guy on the night or quite simply being beaten by a better fighter.

    The real dirty move came from Barrera smashing Hamed's head into the turnbuckle. With hindsight Naz should have feigned serious injury forcing the ref to DQ Barrera - then you could have questioned his heart.

    For sure Pac may have smashed him. Just like Naz may have smashed Pac. We'll never know

    Great one.


    I think every post in a thread like this should end like this sentence


    In a fantasy fight...we will never know. all logic goes to pac at this one because of how they performed in their real fights but hamed also has that legit one punch KO power.

    If Tyson-Douglas didnt happened and a poll thread was made on that matchup im sure 100% of votes goes to Tyson.
