    More than a few fighters would beat him today.

    Loma and walters would smash him. Nonito would end his career.

    No body beats prime Naz, that bitch ruined him and the promoter took full advantage, with his trainer leaving him it was all downhill. This story could be applied to Tyson, Hatton et al.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I'm not having Naz slung in with Broner. Naz is in the HOF because he not only was a brilliant showman/exciting fighter but also cleaned out and ruled the featherweight division in his era.

    Broner wont ever be making the HOF (unless they make a new category -- Greatest fighter to watch getting an arse whooping).

    You know damn well that isn't true. Naz's own people had no qualms admitting they wanted no part of Marquez

    He never ruled anything and the Broner comparison was based on how they think of themselves. This belief that all they have to do is show up and specifically in Hameds case he got that way by being fed a steady supply of no hopers. Kevin Kelly and Augie Sanchez were not world beaters and they both almost planked him. The first time he meets some grade A beef in Mab he gets trounced and then quits. Same thing happened to one of his hypothetical opponents save quitting. Russell was fed a steady diet of professional opponents and and got a false sense of security by his enablers. He was unprepared because he most likely prepared the same way as he did for the others. Just another day at the office against Loma was not good preparation. As talented, unorthodox and power punching as he was, I think Hamed lacked the crucial element upstairs to handle the adversity posed by the elites. I think the way he exited actually proves that.

    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

    Is that the same Marquez that admitted he wanted no part of Naz when he was offered a career high payday?
