        Morales beat;

        Pacquaio
        Barrera
        Zaragoza
        Chavez
        Ayala
        Espadas Jr
        McCullough
        Jones
        Kelley
        Hernandez

        4 weight World Champion

        How can you possibly compare Naz's resume to that?

        Even without Pacquaio and Barrera it's still arguably better let alone with those two prime or close to prime ATG's

          I think he is alongside them....Naz dominated his era in the 90s...MAB, Morales, JMM, and Pac had each other in the 2000's at 126 for a short time but Naz was the more dominant champion.

          He deserves to be mentioned right up there with them...He dominated a very good era at 122-126...beat a prime kevin Kelly, Wilfredo Vazquez who will be in the HOF one day, Vuyuni Bungu was very good at the time, Manuel Medina went on to win versions of the featherweight title after his loss to hamed, McCullough was a tough cookie.

          In a short amount of time he did a lot of good work

          IMO he doesn't get the respect he deserves in America because he is a foreigner, talked trash, and was brash


          IMO Naseem Hamed was the best featherweight since Salvador Sanchez

          Id take a prime, motivated, hungry Naz of 1995-1998 to beat Azumah Nelson, Lil Red Lopez, Bobby Chacon, and a host of others who get far more mention and respect
          We're talking about a guy who's best win is probably Kevin Kelley. A fight he got dropped 10 thousand times in.

          He's not even a first ballot HOF'er.

            Ha ha not a chance.

            He has an underrated resume, but nobody can make a serious case for this.
