Naz-vs-today's featherweight champs - Loma/Walters/Selby/Russell jr. Fact.

[denilson200]

It was 15 years ago (15 for funks sake) today/yesterday that Naz stretchered poor Augie Sanchez out of the ring. Naz was a delusional toby by this stage but the punching power was still savagely violent.

Does anyone think the four current belt holders would have made it past 6 rounds? Personally I reckon Loma could make the 5th? The other three are lucky to see the 4th.

What say you?

Naz's power covered up a lot of flaws he had. I see all four of the current champs given Naz hell. The best way to look at is to ask yourself : Who was the best guy that Naz beat ? Tom Johnson ? Maybe. A slightly past it Kevin Kelley ? Maybe.

Now would the Kelley that Naz fought or the Johnson that Naz fought, beat any of today's featherweight champ's ? I don't think so.

The first A* fighter who was in prime that Naz fought was M.A.B and he got beat. Now M.A.B did not outclass Naz or even badly hurt him, but it was as a clear victory and one that would have been repeated in a rematch.

If Naz had carried on he would have more than likely ran into an up and coming Pac-Man, Juan Marquez or Eric Moralez and if he would have moved up in weight some guy called Floyd Mayweather would have been waiting.

Because Naz never fought those people (The Elites) People think higher of Naz than they ought to.

People look back and have short memories of Naz. I remember the Naz who struggled to beat Paul Ingle, who went the distance with Wayne McCullough. I think Naz's induction into the hall of fame is dubious to say the least.
