This is not a wind-up. Fact. I just stumbled across this by accident, it's an interesting read.

For this fantasy fight, we're matching the best featherweight versions of both fighters. For Hamed, that means we're talking about his absolute prime, circa roughly 1997. For Marquez, it's debatable what year and what weight represent his true prime, but at 126, his best run came from 2002 to 2005, after he had taken a couple of controversial losses and accrued valuable experience.

As I always said, even if Naz had knocked Marquez unconcious he still would have been an all-time great.
