Naz-vs-Floyd at 128.5 catchweight. Fact.

[tysonesque]

Very difficult one to call.

Naz was so powerful and unorthodox, it's anyone's guess.

[Manos de Piedra]

I don't know if you're baiting but I'll play along anyway.

Floyd called Naz out when he was a superfeather to fight at a CW of 128 but Naz didn't want any part of it. Floyd would school and embarrass him.

Watch the beginning of this, Floyd calls him out after the Corrales win.

[Fenster]

No need to hate my friends.

If you think Floyd would have beat Naz (lol) that's your opinion, you're entitled to it. But you can't argue with the truth. All the facts point to Naz spectacularly knocking Floyd unconscious. It is what it is.

[Fenster]

The fight didn't happen because Floyd demanded the .5 pounds after saying 128. Fact.

We could make the fight now at catchweight,! at HW maybe.

[Primo Carnera]

Difficult to call , this one . It's difficult predicting exactly which round Floyd KO's Hamed in, or does Floyd school Naz for 12 rounds like MAB did?

I never liked Naz, I always remember watching his fights but I was only a nipper, probably between the ages of 9 and 11 (I'm 30 now so would that be about right) I used to always watch the boxing but never really understood what I was watching other than two dudes punching each other.

I watched a program on BoxNation about him though a while back and it made me appreciate that he was pretty fucking good, albeit he was an absolute bellend who deserved to get smashed up, there is no denying that he had a wee bit of talent didn't he.

There's been a few discussions today about why people find Floyd boring, but that's one thing no one could ever accuse Hamed of.

He was a class A dickhead, but he was one of the most exciting fighters I've ever seen. Massive power, unorthodox style, showboating and his fight with Kevin Kelly was a classic. It's just a pity he couldn't handle a defeat and abandoned boxing to become a competitive eater.

[Fenster]

No chance whatsoever Floyd irons Naz. No chance whatsoever Floyd goes 12.

Barrera should have been DQ'd for the head smash (that's basically a win for Naz in any jurisdiction apart from corrupt Vegas).

Barrera made Naz look a cunt!

This makes me think of Floyd's post-fight interview with Larry Merchant.

MERCHANT: Are you staying at 130 or going up to 135?

FLOYD: I'd like to fight Prince Naseem. We can meet at 128 or he can come up to 130 and...

MERCHANT: (interrupting, matter-of-factly) Prince Naseem is not going to fight you after seeing this.
