Does prime Naz ever beat MAB

You'd think so about Marquez, but he got dropped a few times by Pac and lost close to Norwood, also getting dropped. Those are his results v southpaws there. He'd probably lose if Hamed were in top form.

 

I loved that fight, Hamed taken to the cleaners by a legend, fat little arrogant piece of excrement.

 

No. Hamed was such overrated, overhyped fraud with a puddle-deep resume there is no way in hell he beats Barrera.

 

If the above is true that must make

Cruz
Medina
Molina
Johnson
Cabrera
Badillo
Kelley
V0asquez
McCullough
Soto
Bungu
and
Sanchez proper sh!t.

 

Naz was good, but very shrewd matchmaking and a big mouth got him more status than his talent deserved.

Tom Johnson and Kevin Kelley were past their best when he beat them. Other than Manuel Medina, who was always limited, those were his best opponents before Barrera exposed him.

 

Most of them were, especially when Naz fought them. Especially when you consider that he made most of them move up and almost always had the size advantage, and if he didn't have a size advantage he loved to pick guys who had jaws made of fine porcelain (Ingle, Kelly, Sanchez, Alicea). He did the same thing with Barrera. He cherry picked Barrera making him move up in weight and taking him on only after most people thought Barrera left all of his fight in the ring against Morales. Boy was he wrong. It just so happened that the first time Hamed fought someone halfway in their prime who was talented and could carry up in weight he got his ass royally schooled. Its classic that you have to pad out his resume with some of the names you did. Most of those guys never beat anyone and lost convincingly every time they stepped up.

 

This is an excellent post

Listing a bunch of names means little without proper contextualization - and you provided a consise description of it in your post.

You owned Foxy on that one.
