    Bowe had a good jab early on in his career but he seemed to lose it over the years.

    The reality is a prime Hamed ices many HoFers and even ATGs that others like more than him, despite his flaws, simply because he is that quick and he hits that hard.

    Salvador Sanchez would have toyed with him and he was far easier to hit than Pep, he really wasn`t that good.

    Sal Sanchez was an elite counterpuncher with insane stamina and a sturdy chin - he would have beaten Naz, but if he doesn't respect what he brings to the table, he may be in for a big shock.

    You might not rate Naz, but those who have done plenty of rounds of sparring will tell you that anyone with his combination of power, speed, angles and reflex is a difficult fight for many. Naz would embarass and send many to dreamland - many fighters that you might rate above him. This doesn't mean that he's greater than - just that he has a skillset and physical gifts that make him a H2H problem for many better fighters.
