Here's how The Ring ranked Naz during his era.

1995 - He was no.5 -- Tom Johnson was no.1
1996 - He was no.3 -- Tom Johnson was no.1
1997 - He was no.1 -- (This is the year he knocked out the no.1 Tom Johnson)
1998 - He was no.1
1999 - He was no.1
2000 - He was no.1

He was the best featherweight during his time. These days fans cream their pants whenever unification match-ups are made, Naz sought out all the other champions and took their titles. And that's the truth ruth.

That is a paper trail not a ruler. And Marquez was his mandatory for close to 2 years and the Wbo kept on giving Hamed passes to fight someone else.. We've been over this before. Sure they featured all the feathers on an HBO broadcast that put doubt on Marquez's willingness but there are two sides to every story
