    3 things:

    1) He made only one successful defense of the flyweight and super-bantamweight titles.

    2) He held the WBO version of the bantamweight and super-bantam titles. During the early 90s, when it was a NOTHING belt. Even less than now.

    3) It's not about legacy anyway, and he was never that good :yep

    I would say Herol Graham for pure skill. I would say Khan for natural athletic ability.

    Naz for me. He was something else in his prime. I should have put Lennox Lewis in the list aswell but forgot.

    Hamed isn't as skillful, he's an excellent boxer but largely because of crude power.

    ... Calslappy does it better.

    Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying Naz had no boxing skills; I'm just saying that his main assets were his strength and raw attributes, rather than refined ability.

    This thread is a waste of time without Lennox Lewis on here because he is head and shoulders above everyone on that list.
