Quote of the night from Jim Gray

not at all.

 

Gray's a *****.Never liked him.Altough I think Toney is a temperamental idiot himself I liked it when he took the mic away from Gray after Holyfield.

 

Apart from the fact that Naz hit harder, was harder to hit, had a better chin and was much quicker.

 

Naz wasn't that quick, or that hard to hit.

 

When Naz got schooled by MAB he just faded away. When Vic got schooled by Donaire he learned from his loss and seems to have gotten better.

 

size
attitude
boxing style
punching power

 

Compared to Darchinyan?

 

I ABSOLUTLEY HATE JIM GRAY!!!!:barf

 

Only comparison in relation to boxing was the stance, and how they relied on power. But Vic is growing out of that mode, not completely though. Naz and hector camacho is a better comparison.

 

u said it already
unorthodox
unpredictable
punches from all angles
awkard
no use of the jab essentially
lookin for KO always

 

:deal :thumbsup

 

I truly believe that the only fighters who can be compared to Naz in terms of raw ability in the last 50 years are Ali and Roy Jones. Now, I am NOT saying that Naz ranks alongside them in terms of achievement, only that he had athletic gifts that come basically once or twice in a generation.

What they have in their mentality and their heart, is a different thing... but in terms of physical gifts Naseem Hamed was an outlier, a genuine prodigy.

 

they both knew how to be successful awkward fighters
