    pbf would have the size advantage, and he would outbox naz.

    naz "might" catch him though, but it's unlikely to happen.

    Corrales was a dangerous fighter at the time ,and he hit just as hard as Nas and Floyd made him look silly.

    Right, because prime Featherweught Hamed hit so much harder than geriatric Welterweight Mosley. :nut

    I think the physical dimensions alone make it difficult for Hamed - and we'll never know how good he might have been because he was a pale shadow by the time he got to the US. Hamed - up to 1996 hit like a jackhammer, much as I love Chico as a fighter I don't think they're in same league as pure punchers.

    Also the pre 1996 Hamed was very hard to hit - the late great Reg Gutteridge said you'd struggle to hit that version with a handfful of confetti / rice.

    Logic states Floyd but if ever there was a fighter with a punchers chance...

    log off, you have nothing of substance to contribute. If Floyd's career was so stage managed how did he find his way into fights with Corralles and Castillo?

    Talking like a very biased knuckle head uk guy that defends the uk fighters. Lmfao @ Prince by brutal ko. If Castillo and Corrales who both hit just as hard as Naz couldn't ko Floyd then what makes you think Naz could? Look nobody thought Floyd would destroyed Corrales but he did. I think Floyd would have tko Naz in a late stoppage cause he'll be quicker, slickier and at 130 pounds he has the pop.

    I am with you, brother. All of these UK idiots hero worship Naz as if he was God's gift to pugilism.

    In reality, Floyd would have beaten the **** out of "Prince."

    For real??? you love Naz huh? PBF at 130 knocks Hamed out. at 5 foot 4 Hamed would never close the distance. To be honest this is not even really fair.

    Fight was never really a viable fight. Naz at 5"3 was a very short feather weight and had more lucrative fights available to him like Barerra and Morales.

    If the fight had somehow been staged Mayweather would have dominated, too big, too fast and too skilled.

    It’s silly to suggest Naz was scared. The guy’s career was derailed by the time Floyd made noise about wanting him. Fighting, and boxing as a whole wasn’t even on Naz’s mind, never mind responding to another guy’s call out.

    You also need to realize that Naz was tiny for even a featherweight. He could have easily continue fighting at super bantamweight, much the way Pac can easily fight light lightweight, but choosing to fight higher up because of the names. Now with Floyd being a massive super featherweight, you can imagine the ridiculous physical disparity between the two.
