I don't know man, I've never seen anyone does it better than Naz. I mean Naz literally just stand infront of his opponent and bomb them while leaning back as they punch back. It's like he not scare of getting hit or something. To me he was just physically gifted as a boxer.
I DON'T LIKE THE ****. WHO DOES? AFTER HIS BEHAVIOUR OF RECENT. BUT HE WAS A GOOD FIGHTER WITH VERY GOOD POWER BUT NOT GREAT POWER GREAT IS USED TOOO MUCH NOWADAYS
Naz doesn't look like a heavy hitter when he fights, maybe because of his boxing style, you often get suprised when opponent just drops after he delivers a punch.
This guy had power that was just shocking. The way people fell was just unusual. He would hit a guy, then 2-3 seconds later, their bodies would just cease to function. It was crazy to watch.
ray leonard caused a few shocking ko's but he wasn't a great puncher. Truly great punchers are guys who ko'd elite, great fighters like bob foster with dick tiger and, ruben olivares with lionel rose and other mexican beats. Thomas hearns with pipino cuevas and roberto duran. Ray robinson with gene fulmer and other beats who did NAZ KO THAT WAS CONSIDERED ELITE. he hit barerra with some good punches and MAB kept coming.
Roy only got in trouble when his reflexes eroded. Before that he was arguably one of the most effective defensive fighters, though that's to be taken with a pinch of salt, for his defence would not work without his offense and athleticism. He simply stayed out of harms way until he saw something.
i never like NAZ...!...but to say he could NOT punch is very untrue! The one thing NAz had is Freak power!....he was short with Thick legs that he used to generate awesome power....he Jumped into his punches at times, like a video game...
3 division champ Vazquez was dropped like sack of rocks. Medina had been stopped once by a 50 fight veteran when he was very green before Hamed, and Hamed stopped him while he had the flu. Bungu, long time super bantam titlist, never stopped, Hamed kayo in 4 Linear champ Tom Johnson, never stopped, tko 8 15 defenses of his title, 13 by kayo. He didnt stop McColough b/c he has a legendary chin, and Soto b/c he was just trying to last the distance. and just watch his fights! He had incredible power, he just whipped his whole body into his punches, like a cobra
i never said that he couldn't punch. he was a big puncher. but i don't think he was one of the great punchers of history
So you are saying he's not top-5 or so in history? No ****. I've never seen anyone say he was. Was that really worthy of a thread?
I thought Naz should've stayed at 122. Oh yeah and Vasquez and R. Marquez power doesn't hold a candle to Naz'
