    The fight at 122/126 odds for me would be:

    4/1 Morales - He has the height to trouble Naz, the boxing skills to outbox him and the chin to withstand his bombs.

    3/1 MAB - As demonstrated in their fight, MAB just has the correct skillset to offset Naz and I think MAB wont be laid out with 1 punch.

    1/1 JMM - I think this is a 50/50 fight. Sure JMM could outbox Naz for 12 rounds, but 12 rounds is a long time and I think a prime Naz was quick enough to be able to land a few. Im afraid that should Naz land, he may lay JMM out. Id favour JMM but I dont know wether Im underestimaing naz or overestimating him, he has a good chance of a KO win.

    1/2 Pac - Id favour him over Pac, specially at 122. Pac wasnt hard to find and although pac's chin is solid, Naz would dent it. At 126 id favour Pac to keep himself in range and KO Naz and definitely Pac at 130.

    Naz huggers alway bring that up.according to them Naz´s prime must have been the shortest prime in boxing history,it only consists of one fight were he looked great against an old journeyman that was scared to death.

    Naz VS A Joe don't mean ****.
     

  4. :huh


    Yeah a really short prime that lasted for 16 world title fights from 1995-until he lost in 2001

    Not saying he wasn't prime against MAB, he should have been, if he didn't train hard enough he only has himself to blame. But you can't say he only had a one fight prime

    Well thought out answer. However why do you think MAB would be able to withstand Naz bombs but JMM wouldn't? JMM might well get floored, but he'd more than likely get up and recover. The guys never been stopped, and he's survived being floored 3 times in a single round - not many boxers could do that. If MAB could survive, you can rest assured JMM would too.

    Sounds about right. He would have been in the mix but coming up a little short everytime I think. Probably best chances against EM and Pac because they would mix it up with him and give him a chance to land one of those bombs.

    Naz would KO Morales, who I am confident would get involved in a brawl. Though he could have outboxed Naz.

    Barrera UD.

    Marquez wide UD assuming that he does not get caught.

    Nobody 'withstands' those kinds of shots. If you get hit flush, you're gone. Maybe McCollough could take a few.

    Over 200 posts on a boxing board and you don't know MAB beat Naz. Typical.

    Did he say that?

    Naz's prime was a couple of years earlier. Might be different.

    McCullough did take them... for 12 rounds... and didn't come close to being stopped. Morales had an absolute iron chin, I don't think he will get knocked out by one punch.

    Em was hurt by MAB and stopped by Pac. He had a good chin but nothing like McCollough, who was just a freak of nature and waaaay too hardheaded for his own good.

    Saying you're going to take Naz's punches and eat them is like saying someone is going to take Foreman's shots and shrug them off. It's not going to happen, it's not physically possible. If McCollough would have caught a few more of those on the chin instead of behind the ear and on top of the head he would have gone out too.
