Any interest? Any predictions? If Barrera can survive the first five rounds without getting knocked-out or seriously hurt I feel he'll win it in the latter rounds by decision or late TKO.

Finally the Prince will fight a mexican (this is not to sound racist but anyone who knows anything about boxing knows where the statement is rooted in). I will admit that the Prince has done his share of dodging and the Barrera fight if one were to be completely honest is in many ways a calculated risk.
As much as I love the Prince, Naz can lose this fight. I mean, it is not out of the relm of possiblity but I don't see it happening. The key is for him to STOP fighting in the conventional stance. At times it seems force and he has gotten in trouble defensively and has been less aggressive offensively because of it.
My pick: Naz by TKO Round 7
But Barrera is a warrior so don't sleep.

Don't know. The best fighter who has a chance of beating Hamed is a defensive fighter with solid boxing skills, good power, and the ability to take a punch. Barrera has all of these things as evidenced in his controversial decision with Morales. His defense will have to be better against Hamed than it was with Morales. I think if anybody is going to be Hamed besides Mayweather is it going to be Barrera.

I don't think Hamed wants any part of Mayweather. And I don't think he would move up to fight him Floyd.

If Barrera got his head handed to him by Junior Jones Hamed will destroy barrera!!!I say Hamed in the the 6th or seventh gets the TKO
Top 5
1-Floyd 2-Tito (move up to #1 if he beats Joppy) 3-Hamed (falls to #4 is he doesnt look good against Barrera) 4-Mosely (moves up to #2 if he fights and wins aganist '6 heads' Lewis) 5-Jones/Hopkins

How do you have Floyd at number one over Tito and Shane? Floyd fought one great fight. He's easily top five, but number one And Hamed ahead of Mosely? Mosely has looked sensational, while Naz got knocked down twice by Augie Sanchez.

Floyd has only one great fight but so does moseley (de la hoya). Mosely hasn't fought anybody either. And Floyd is still young while Mosely is at his prime NOW. Also Floyd brings more to the table (you know gold metals and stuff). If i should have any1 higher on my list is Trinidad.
Tito's Resume:
Whitaker, de la hoya, and Reid (all gold metalist and former champs)
Oba Carr, Yory Boy Campas, and Vargas (all past champions who at the time felix fought them were all undefeated)

When I said great fights I just meant looked great. I realize each have only had one big fight. But, at this moment there isn't a fighter as skilled as Mosely. He's done it at multiple weight classes. I love Tito, in fact he's my favorite to watch, but I have no argument with him being second as long as it's to Mosely. But, Floyd's power is questionable to me. I know he knocked out Chico, but he was weak (dropping in weight) and that was a result of an accumulation of punches not real KO power. I think Floyd will eventually be numer one p4p, but I just don't think he's there yet.

Provided Hamed takes berrera seriously, as he should, and not play around so much Hamed should win. He is a very good boxer, with a wealth of quickness and power, unfortunately a wealth of ego too. But I like the muddah bitch. He should knock Berrera out by like 5th or 6th round. Berrera is not to be f'd wit though either. After his run-ins wit Tapia you definetly see he can fight.

Great point on Diego. He was to tall for that division thus making him weak to box at that weight (sad about the jail time but if he did it he should pay the piper). As far as Tito/Shane?
If they fight at 147 Mosely will destroy him (sort of like Floyd did to chico)

to be on point. Before the fight they said 28 out of 30 writers picked Hamed. That always makes predictions that much sweeter when the majority is against you. Barrera gave Naz a serious boxing lesson from bell to bell. He put his left hand in jail and made Naz be the aggressor instead of the counter puncher and he couldn't do it. Naz has power, but he doesn't know how to box. That fight was beautiful.

I was hoping that Barrera would've knocked his ass out just for having him wait 45 phukin minutes. If Prince (Hamed) fell off that contrapment thing, I would've been rollin on the floor. His punk-ass didn't even flip over the ropes because he knew he'd phuk up. Prince's girlfriend (or wife) is only in it for the money. C'mon,..... she's blond hair+ blue eyes. Yeah, I know I know...... "but that doesn't mean she don't live him!" BULLSHIT!!!!!!! Bottom line is....... Barrera came to fight and Hamed wanted to intimidate him by puttin on a spectacle.

Naz didnt want to win last night i watched the whole fight. Im usually a Prince fan because i like flashy boxers, but he disappointed the hell out of me. His entrance sucked, he didnt flip over the top rope and he fought like he knew he was gonna land some big ass punch and end the fight. This cat was getting his snot boxed rocked and instead of rockin Barrera back, he was smiling at him. I dont even think he hurt barrera more than 2 times. And when he lost he aint even look pissed or surprised he was just saying it was the will of Allah. Allah helps those who help themselves and if this cat doesnt light a fire under his own ass then he will end up like Camacho, all flash and no respect. ---------------------------------------

------------------------------ Now lets take a moment to ponder the depth, brilliance, and emotional gravity of Mr Reds above statement.
I got home just in time to catch the fight last night. I had a feeling it was going to be on...and thank god it was delayed about 45 minutes, or I would have missed it. I'm not a fan of hamed. I honestly think he isnt that good. Not because he lost last night, but I've thought that since the first or second time I saw him. I knew barerra would beat him. I only thought he'd knock him out in about 8 rounds. I was disappointed, but i'm still glad he won. What I dont understand is how people can really believe this guy "prince" is the second coming or something. A guy who, before last night, had only fought one notable opponent in a *past his prime* Kevin Kelly. KELLY had him eating the canvas, so how would hamed ever beat a guy like barrera? I guy IN his prime, who can REALLY fight...and has DEFENSE? I've never gone for the flashy type fighters who speak more with their feet than their fists. Hamed is just that. A guy that has to stand and look hard in a BOXING match is punk through and through. Stand, Smile when you get the shit knocked out of you, pose when the bell rings, but praise allah when you lose. Give me a break.
"But Ali did all those things...and nobody cant say HE wasnt great!!"
Please.
Check out his resume...not just HOW he fought..but WHO he fought. Thats the difference.
You can sprinkle gold dust on top of shit, and it will look like a really pretty golden brick. But beneath all that shiny stuff...it will still be a stinky, worthless piece of shit. Peace, Naz

Yeah barrera finally learned how to box instead of brawling (like most mexican fighters do). Barrera showed his boxing side aganist soto (the fight befor hamed) but i thought that was a farce (guess not). I have to eat my words because I had barrera losing in seven. For all those people who said I hamed too high on my ound for poud list were right (and I was wrong).
the prince got exposed for being mostly style, little substance. yeah, he's excitingly unorthodox and has excellent power in both hands, but he couldn't seem do anything productive whatsoever against a solid conventional boxer who possessed good counter-punching skills. hamed is entertaining against inferior competition, but berrera straight up pummelled that cat -- fuck hbo's scoring, prince won two rounds and one was a draw...even with the deduction, i had it at 117-111.
although i wanted to see that sickly little smile of nasim's planted in the canvas, i was content with berrera's half-nelson turnbuckle yoke.
Did anyone catch the Prince's intrance? While he was flying over the crowd someone caught him with a cup of beer to the chest. That was pretty funny.
