    NAZ was very good puncher but he WAS no ruben olivares or JULIAN JACKSON or mike tyson. he never ever ko'd any really tough challengers. mediNA wasn't koed. a bantamweight in waynee mccullogh was nver koed or knocked down. cesar soto was never hurt


    augie sanchez, alicea, robinson, kevin kelly and co were all chinny. BUNGU WAS ONLY A BANTAMWEIGHT. TOM JOHNSON WAS CHINNY.

    he defintely had power, especially for a guy with that unorthodox of a style.

    McCullough wasn't knocked down or hurt by anybody in his entire career, including Morales. His chin is pure granite so that's hardly a blemish on Naz's record.

    Naz was a little guy for the division and still stopped people in devastating fashion. You can maybe argue that he wasn't a great fighter, but his power is beyond question.

    Absolute rubbish. Funny that you talk about Tyson...okay well Mitch Green, James Smith, Evander Holyfield and so on were not stopped. Nor was Danny Williams despite eating numerous flush shots.

    A peak Tyson failed to drop and put away a few fighters and Tyson stopped many with an accumulation of shots.

    The "chinny" Robinson had never been floored as professional when Hamed stopped him with one left hook. Hamed had freakish power in both hands, he dropped people when he had barely got any extension on the shots, landing punches with no firm stance behind them, off balance, no leg power, short shots etc and yet they were dropping people and hurting them.

    You can criticise anything else you want, but anyone saying he doesnt hit hard is either deluded or stupid.

    I think this thread was created to start some in-fighting. Obviously hamed had a very high ko percentage, I will leave it at that.

    I would agree with that, he may have been a bit of a clown, but he could kick like a mule!

    Hamed had 1 of the best 1 punch power P4P of all time. End of discussion. BTW Hamed was a batamweight too and destroyed featherweights with 1 shot.

    Not only did he have great KO power, but he carried it with him as he went up in weight.

    I never said he idn't hit hard. he just was not the great puncher some make him out to be. He was a notch below the likes of jackson and ruben olivares. olivares destroyed really tough, elite fighters like alan rudkin, lionel rose and so on
