Malignaggi: "Mayweather Would Beat Hamed"

Former world champion and the creator of the YouTube channel Paulie TV, Paul Malignaggi, shared his thoughts on a potential classic matchup between Naseem Hamed and Floyd Mayweather. He discussed who would be the favorite for Lord Ping.

"I think Mayweather would beat Hamed. Remember, Hamed was initially at featherweight, so I believe Mayweather would be too big for him.

It would be a fun fight and a big promotion, especially in today's era of social media. Imagine them in their prime in the modern era of social media; it would be grand, but still, Mayweather would be too big," said Malignaggi.

The peaks of Naseem Hamed's and Floyd Mayweather's careers did not overlap, but there was a time when a potential fight was discussed. Hamed's undefeated streak ended in a match against Antonio Barrera in 2001, after which the talks ceased.
