    ive been looking at old nas fights and remembering the insane arrogance and malice that he fought with. so who do you think would take this fight if it happened?

    Naz KO2

    A featherweight with the chin of a featherweight, speed of a bantamweight and power of a welterweight

    vs

    A lightweight with the chin of a flyweight, speed of a flyweight and power of a featherweight

    I think Khan may cause Naz a problem or two, but Khan isn't exactly impenetrable and Naz has one punch KO power - Amir doesn't :deal

    Naz KO.....basically for the reasons listed above. If Naz can catch Amir he will take him out, and Naz WILL catch Amir at some point (probably early).

    If Khan had a top quality jab he could keep Naz at a distance and frustrate him as Barrera did making him easier to counter - but countering isn't really Amir's game, or doesn't appear to be.

    We don't actually know what kind of fighter Amir is - because other than Gomez and Limond, he has had it all his own way against feather fisted boxer types, no countering off the back foot, no inside fighting - nothing.

    I would actually be suprised if Khan made it out of round 1, and if he did he would barely do so and would be stumbling to his corner only to get finished in round 2.

    Naz was pretty ruthless when he had an opponent on ***** street - but the showboating and sticking his chin out would waste enough time for Amir to make it to the second bell

    Hence why I went for Rd 2 :deal

    Khan's accuracy, reach and handspeed are all he has going for him. As soon as Naz lands it's game over. Naz inside 3.

    The question isn't really worth answering because the answer is so obvious....but I will anyway, Naz by cold blooded murder whenever he liked.

    The only thing Amir Khan would have in his favour is that he is physically bigger

    Everything else Hamed hold's the aces.

    Hamed would find Khans chin early and have him dancing around the ring like a drunk.

    Hamed by TKO inside 4 rounds

    Naz KTFO Khan after about 50-60 seconds. IF the fight went any longer than a round there would be a serious threat that Khan would end up in intensive care.

    Hamed by way of knockout. But Khan is strong enough to rock Naz and has a punchers chance.

    If Hamed was rocked that would be nothing new

    Hamed got tagged and rocked as soon as he stepped up to world class level

    his style is wide open and crazy - but he was a tough little ******* and in a war he would smash out Khan like he done to Augie Sanchez

    Khan would be leaving on a strecher

    id give naz the edge coz of khans **** chin not anything else, i think khan is the better boxer...... but if he gets hit on the chin he might get knocked out, if khan had a solid chin he'd beat naz allday long

    not the better boxer just throws too many punches for naz's one shot at a time
