I've grown up as a Hamed mark since his first Super Bantam fight against Buckley, I'd never seen anything like it, his actual boxing style was unheard of and it took 27 fights for anyone to finally start laying gloves on him, He was completely unorthodox in attack and defense.
He could box Orthodox or South Paw, he could even switch it up in the middle of a fight.
He had all the goods just got to cocky to use them, I grew up watching him and I will forever believe he was/is the greatest talent to grace the sport.
But I have to agree De la Hoya's moving through the weights is unchallenged as the greatest feat in Boxing history.
