    Read what D-MAC said. He summed it up just about right.


    I alway's had doubts over his real bottle. But I am probably in the minority.

    what a ridiclious question. its a bit unfair to say prime anyone agaisnt a guy thats has 16 fights and is only 21.

    Khans speed would cause naz allot of problems.

    Yep Khan's speed would cause Naz alot of problem's but then Naz would land a punch and the fight would be over.

    khan's a huge lightweight

    naz as a small super feather, really a bantamweight

    not as clear cut as everyone says....had naz fought anyone that size b4.

    Right on the money:good And lets not forget that a prime Naz was no slouch in the speed department, never mind his reflexes, and also the angles which he would be throwing his bombs from.

    But as someone said it is really unfair to compare the two at this stage of Khan's development.

    Thats a fair point. Could the Thread starter tell us at what weight this hypothetical battle is taking place.

    I would guess Super Featherweight????

    Naz actually made his debut as a flyweight, if memory serves. Amazing to see how he's gone from stick-thin to balloon size.

    It was only a shock to people who thought Naz was in his prime when he fought MAB. Most ardent boxing fans knew that Naz was not training and the split with Ingle led to his downfall.

    It was never a prime Naz who fought MAB and people forget that a ill prepared Naz still went the full 12 with MAB. How many other ill prepared fighters could do 12 with MAB ?

    All his fault at the end of the day. If he had remained focussed he could have fulfilled his own prophecies about greatness.

    Thanx Outboxer, never knew that. He must have motored his way through the divisions before he fought for world titles. Even the guy he is fighting in that clip looks about two divisions bigger than him.

    He always struck me as the archetypal natural featherweight; just looked perfect for the division.

    Naz was a super bantam pre Steve Robinson, the intention was for Naz to beat Robinson and then move back down to Super Bantam. Naz peaked pre championship probably against Enrique Angeles and Juan Polo Perez. The Robinson victory was pretty much flawless and the Robinson Naz stopped was a teak tough version who had never being so much as wobbled in his career. Naz dropped him twice and won every second. The next fight was six months later as he had broken his hand and suffered a couple of delays, we didn't see much as he bashed Said Lawal in about 30 seconds landing just three punches. In his next fight he was floored by Danial Alicea and his timing was way off. Alicea was a decent class amateur who never really fulfilled his potential as a pro. Its safe to say by this time he had already peaked and subsequently the following years saw his fights becoming increasingly competitive and Naz becoming increasingly static. The Remigio Molina, Billy Hardy and Vuyani Bungu fights were probably the only displays by Naz as a world champion that approached his qaulity as a contender.
