You can not really say the same for Hamed , he beat some good fighters , but he lost to the only truly elite fighter he fought , who was any were near his prime in MAB .
So if Fenster is right , in that Marquez ducked Hamed , then you have to say its the greatest career move ever , as he is now a GREAT and Hamed is not.
Or if Hamed ducked Marquez , all he did was keep his unbeaten record for longer , until he met MAB. I feel Marquez would have got off the floor early to hand Hamed his ass , may have even stopped him.
Marquez could have lost to Naz and still went on to become the great fighter he is.
