Mayweather Vs Naz: @ 130 in 1998?

SFW was in my opinion his best weight the weight jumping is something im not considering at all.

Castilllo is a controversial fight but i did feel FMj won it by afew points and he wasnt in top form.

Naz was dynamic but so was FMJ he threw shots most people hadnt heard of double left hooks to head and body, right hand leads etc... he was very dynamic and could change strategy as a fight wore on.

The mayweather RJJ debate could go on for hours we should leave that

 

watch the fight footage

of when Naz KO'd Sergio Liendo

there is no way Mayweather could pull off something as spectucular as that

Mayweather may be all round better

but for me Naz had way more flair and power and dynamic explosive talent

 

PBF by knockout. If the likes of Kevin Kelley put Naz down PBF will keep him down. Can you see Naz beating the undefeated Corrales when he was at 130 pounds?

 

Kevin Kelly was a very good fighter.

He was something like 40+ wins 1 loss - when he fought Hamed

He was skilful and slick

And a former WBU / WBC World Featherweight Champion

Hamed still sparked him in 4

 

the only thing why I can see Hamed not winning is size difference / reach, etc

Hamed was only a little guy - short

And Mayweather even bigger than Hatton at Light Welterweight

Mayweather was a Super Featherweight who then had the capcity to grow into bigger weights

While Hamed was just a Featherweight who was never really big enough to need to move up the weights

Despite Gavin Evans saying Naz would win World titles all the way up to Light Middleweight :nut

 

what a fight it would have been ...hard won to call.

 

I am not saying that Kevin Kelley was not a very good fight or for that matter a lot of Naz and PBF were excellent fighters such as Angel Manfredy, Tom Boom Boom Johnson etc. The reason I bring up Kelley is that PBF was and is even more skilful, slicker and better than this person who came close to defeating Naz at his peak.

 

For me Naz would lose clearly because PBF has the better skills physically and better psychologically.

 

Just out of interest, what makes you think that?

You basically have two counter punchers who usually wait for the opponent to initiate and build their attacks, on an effective (and in Naz's case, unorthodox) defence, or at the very least they rely heavily on their ability to manouvere their opponents into a vulnerable position. You'll have two fighters who won't know what to make of each other. It will be cautious and slow for the most part, IMO.

 

Naz never boxed above 126, a good intelligent fighter with a good jab would dominate Naz just like Barrera did, Naz would allways have a punchers chance but Mayweather would outbox him.

 

One thing that always bugged me about Naz was where did that power come from?
