    Well I haven't seen them all, but Hamed would beat John in a close, but clear decision, whilst Luevano might be the same - I do not see any problems with the others. Gamboa gets knocked out in 3 rounds, however it would be a very exciting fight!

    Chris John and Gamboa would for different reasons.

    Him vs Gamboa would be a madness and John would use his sweet skills to try outbox Hamed and he would cause Hamed trouble i have no doubts about it.

    :goodAgreed. Izzy and Rafa should also be on the list now though as they are now both Feathers (although Vazquez still hasn't officially competed at the weight)- much more difficult fights for Naz, IMO, out of the others. Naz-John would be interesting.

    I'd expand that to Naz 95-2001.

    The Hamed that beat Bungu in '00 would smoke a lot of boots.

    Featherweight is really weak at the moment. I think Naz would take them all. Some i haven't seen a lot of though.

    Only seen John, Luevano, Solis, Juarez and Gamboa out of those and I'd be surprised if any of them go 8 rounds with Naz.

    I think he would get sparked early with that defence against a monster puncher.

    Naz wins and i don't see it being to hard. Kevin's wide open to southpaw punches and the way Naz fights i see him getting frustrated and buzzed and stopped on his feet after a few knockdowns in round 5-6.

    Sometimes we forget just how good Hamed was. I don't think Barrera beat anywhere near the best version of Hamed, but to beat any version of Hamed was an extraordinary feat.

    All these guys get beaten comfortably. The Gamboa fight would be the most fun.
