Pac-Naz - we now have definitve proof. Fact.

A peak Naz beats Marquez, Barrera and Pac Man. His reflexes and power were second to none.

How does a peak Naz beat all of the above. I’m curious as to your line of thinking regarding Barrera.

Naz won the featherweight title late 1995 against Steve Robinson to eventually losing to Barrera 2001 he was dominate with the occasional lapse mainly later in those years.

Naz reflexes, speed, power, unorthodox style and timing made him unify and become the best featherweight in the division.

The peak Naz would have out boxed and out worked Barrera once he realised he could not knock him out. Naz had more variety in his game early on and as his relationship deteriorated with Ingle the less he trained and more he relied on his power. Naz became one dimensional by the time he faced MAB who exposed him for that.

Bullshit! Naz and Barrera were the same age (27) and just about peaking. Naz's unorthodox style was exposed by Barrera and once Barrera did this he went on to give Naz a boxing lesson.
I don't want to diss Naz too much because for his size he had freakish strength, and was highly popular and sought after in the Boxing

Agree that the Naz that faced Barrera was far removed from the version of Naz before Kevin Kelly fight.

Even at the Kelly fight, Naz was slipping in away that wasnt due to higher competition. Naz went into all attack mode early which suggests to me that he could not box his way out of it.

Anyone care to recall the state of Nazs training camps once he fought more in USA and how much more easily he was hit and why?

What happened to his ambition of 5 weight champ that he declared on UK TV? Was it really BS?

When Naz crossed the pond he deteriorated, dropped his trainer and retired young after his defeat.

Naz was before my time, but if he declared that, of course it was bs. He only won world titles in one weight division.. What was he going to do, move up to welter and fight Trinidad like I said, we can only speculate whether he could have even moved up at all, no matter how seriously he took his career. That’s not a knock on him per say either, he was small even for a featherweight and there were a lot of great fighters around just north of him in those days.
