    How would a prime Prince Naseem of fared against the best featherweights of all time..would he be schooled like he was against Barrera? I personally feel despite being talented that Naz was hugely overrated by some.

    He gets TKO'ed by Salvador Sanchez in a one sided fight.

    Willie Pep outboxes him.

    Have't seen enough of Sandy Saddler or Vicente Salvidar to comment.

    Eusobia Pedroza, Erik Morales and Alexis Arguello all beat him.

    Think Naz beats Barry McGuigan.

    Uh, who else ?? Manny Pacquiao is the most interesting, what a fight it would have been, 50/50.

    I think a few years back he was overrated on this forum but it has shifted to him being underrated.

    I don’t think he fares well against the greats in terms of record...but I think he fares well in terms of being competitive with just about anyone. I don’t think he was prime or sharp against Barrera, nor do I think he would beat him even if he was....but I think he lasts the distance against almost anyone over 12 rounds. But still think he will come up short but he should give a good account of himself against most as well.

    I think he is dnagerous to just about all of them.

    His power was outstanding, and he was nothing like anyone had seen before in his method. Unless you were a very well trained and tight boxer he could get to you. He eats alot of swarmers up. It is the reason he has a shot against Paq.
