Floyd would of took him. Naz showed boat to damn much, which was the reason he tasted the canvas a few times and lost to The baby face mexican.
Floyd. Floyd is the more technically sound fighter, has respectable power, and more than enough speed to match Naz.
Everyone was calling Naz out at the time...Naz was even impressing the HBO team more than lil Floyd Regarding the fight, Floyd would have won but even he knew Naz would have made that a war and he was the guy to beat, hence the callout in the first place, make no mistake
Floyd would have handled him. I like Naz, but come on. At the lighter weights Mayweather threw lightning quick combos and he had good power.
Its crazy that Naz is only 39. Floyd's about to be 37. **** is crazy, Floyd got extreme discipline. But to answer your question. A Prime Naz would meet a Prime Floyd. And Prime Floyd is pretty scary. Great power at the lower weight classes, and he was faster with the same defense even though I think his defense his completely mastered now.
Guys 5 foot 3 and nothing special about him ? :rofl Dominated the lower weight classes where nobody wanted anything to do with him only lost to an ATG who had height reach size and weight advantage over him but yea he's a bum ? bleh he should have made barrera come down in weight featherweight was a step too far for the midget naz.Good bigger guy beats a good small guy. They are all like 5'7-5'9 come on guys naz was a midget he did well to even hang with the big boys at featherweight.
Naz was not even a true featherweight, but fought there because he knew that was the minimum weight that gets any respect. Couple this with the fact he had tremendous power allowed him to compete at featherweight, just not against the best of the best like Morales, JMM, MAB, Pac, etc. All too big and strong for Naseem Hamed. I think Naz was about 5'3"...A fight with him vs. Nonito Donaire or El Chacal at 118 0r 122 would have been most appropriate. I think the Donaire fight Naz might win, but Rigondeaux would outclass him imo, if that Cuban glass didn't get shattered. Come to think of it I'd have loved a bout with Khaosai Galaxy vs. Hamed. Mayweather is like a giant compared to Prince Naseem, even though FMJ himself is quite small.
unfulfilled potential since we don't know how good the guy would have become if he would have kept fighting. I hate to say it but when he ran into Marco he thought it was going to be a walk in the park but he got whipped in that fight. Showboating is cool in all but when the opponent is kicking your ass you need quit the crap and start fighting but he couldn't get going in that fight. I'm not sure why he retired but I think when he lost to Marco, all the hype went out the window and to be honest I think his confidence was shatter after that fight. Mayweather would beat Naz pretty easy in my opinion since if Naz let Marco did that to him then he is in a rude awakening fighting Floyd.
