What puts them on another level? Because they had a rivalry?
Is less fights he beat just as many champions, more lineal title defenses, beat a prime or near prime Kevin Kelley
Who did they beat that was so great? Morales beat Manny, Barrera beat naz himself and they beat each other
They didn't beat overall better fighters
Naz beat future hall of famer wilfredo Vazquez Sr, prime Kelly, vuyani bungu, and longtime champ boom boom Johnson
Barrera got his butt kicked by Jr Jones twice... If he and naz fought that day it wouldn't have went past 5 rounds
People really overrate Barrera n moralesComment

Below...

Morales beat Barrera and manny
Prince is hall of fame, but not atg
Morales n Barrera are borderline atgComment

If they fought in the 90s I'd pick naz to win...he depended on his power n didn't have the desire he had in the 00s
Barrera outboxed him...didn't drop him or hurt him....it trips me out how people act like Barrera put a beating on him....he was smart enough to not be reckless n box...that was no beating no wheels off....Barrera vs Paulie Ayala is beating the wheels off a guyComment

Barrera beat Kennedy McKinney, Morales twice, Rocky Juarez twice, Naz, Johnny Tapia, Kevin Kelly, Paulie Ayala. That is far more high quality wins than Naz. Also why even bring up Junior Jones? Did Naz fight him? No, so your claim is nothing but speculation. Besides sometimes a guy just has your number and it is'nt like he was a bum lol.What puts them on another level?

I did'nt mean it in the sense that he turned him into a bloody pulp. I meant it in the sense that it was easy work, not competitive etc. The scorecards were justifiably wide and Barrera was deducted a point in the fight. Naz got his ass whooped. Plain and simple.If they fought in the 90s I'd pick naz to win...he depended on his power n didn't have the desire he had in the 00s

Erik Morales, who beat Barrera and Manny Pacquio when he was Pacman, sure. Keep your fantasy fights dude, that's all you have with Naz who lost to the only ATG he faced.
One eyed, shot to pieces, out of shape, out of division Morales took Maidana's best punches and nearly beat him.
The only think Naz beats Maidana at is running to the buffet.Comment

Naz is a top 10 featherweight, all time!Naz was the greatest featherweight of the last 20 years, cleaned out his era in the 90s....was a title holder 6 years and lineal several of those years
In 37 fights he fought 10 champs beat 9 of them and held every major title at his weight
He oft gets overlooked or forgotten but was one the most dominant featherweight champions of all time
He doesn't get the respect as Barrera, morales, PAC, and jmm...maybe because he is British n was brash
But he can't be ranked above Barrera and Morales when looking at career achievements, titles and overall skill level, dedication and longevity, which are all measures of greatness.Comment
