Robinson became one of my favorite boxers. Loved his style- tight defense marching forward. When he became champion he really flourished. Colin McMillan was one of the most talented boxers to ever grace a British ring in my opinion. If not for a freak injury he would have been a superstar for sure. His title winning performance was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. And I'm from the USA. Like him or not Naz at his best was a handful. Blessed with incredible reflexes and one punch power the man could simply fight.
Billy Hardy went on to beat Robinson two years later. On 18 December 1993 McKenzie became a four-weight regional champion, beating John Davison for the British Featherweight title. An attempt to become world champion at this division ended in a knockout loss to Steve Robinson on 1 October 1994. McKenzie's next fight was an unsuccessful challenge for Mehdi Labdouni's European featherweight title. McKenzie was never a world champ at feather.
McMillan was nowhere near Calzghe`s level P4P and never beat a world class fighter, he was only ever a WBO champ when that title was a minor title compared to the three established organisations at that time. McMilan`s punch mechanics were awful, he had absolutely no power in his shots.
Stop waffling Mark just admit you cant stand Naz and you are blind to his achievements. I remember in another thread you said Josh Warrington would beat Hamed that just shows you are blinded by your hatred.
McMillan was a heck of a boxer. Had he not been injured he was a super star in the making. Stecca had lost one time and McMillan outclassed him. De Roux was pretty decent and had a nice little run but Colin was too much for him.

Ruben Castillo gave Sanchez a very good fight. So did Pat Cowdell. Both very good boxers. Are you going to actually tell me those two were more talented then Naz?
Tonto62, were those The Ring year end rankings the year before Hamed fought them or after he'd beaten them?
Maybe Naz would have beaten Warrington but Josh would have beaten everybody that Naz beat and would have done better v Barrera than Naz did, despite his talent Naz had lousy fundamentals stopping him from ever being world class.
No but they were more careful, Naz would try to fight Sanchez with his hands low trying to slip shots throwing punches off balance without using feints to set them up, suicide against a fighter as skilled as Sanchez.
Who did Stecca lose to and why didn`t he ever win one of the established titles at the time? Truth is McMillan never fought a true world champ, he never proved himself at that level.
Sanchez never got caught by any of these fighters flush leaning back after throwing punches like this 4:54 neither of those two fighters did that v Sanchez either, Naz often left himself wide open after punching.
