Prime Naseem Hamed vs the current titlists at 126 how well would he do

[therealpugilist]

Ive been watching him a lot more lately...he was one of my favorite fighters in the 90's and he brought much deserved attention to the little giants in the sport.

Gary Russell.....he is fast has shown he is a good overall fighter but I think Russell would be too inexperienced and throws to many shoe shine arm punches and would get caught by some awkward bombs.....Hamed late TKO


Walters....He looks good but I don't think he has the chin to go to war with Hamed like he did an undersized Donaire.....Walters does have skills but he is more a fighter than boxer....if he boxes then he gives himself the best chance to win, he wont box long enough to bank in the rounds before he gets stopped late

Lomanchenko.....he has good skills but has not faced the comp yet or been through enough adversity to say he'd beat Naz....I think he'd go the full route because LOMA does what he has to to win but Naz would be too seasoned and awkward in the pro game

First of all, Walters is a beast and trading with him is not a good idea. Secondly, Lomachenko is a double olympic gold medalist and was 397-1, nothing is too awkward for him. Naz has a chance but this is a phenomenal era in featherweight boxing.

People tend to forget just what a puncher Naz was. I'd back him to beat all current featherweights aside from Loma, and I would have the Walters fight as a pick em. That said, he had the power to knock out top fighters with one shot and that could be the difference.

[dan_cov]

Whilst a bit of a critic on Naz he beats them all with ease, only one I wouldn't favour him over is Lomachenko.

Walters in particular gets flattened.
Gary Russell Jr gets starched.
Lee Selby gets absolutely decapitated.

All the rest aren't even worth mentioning.

[Chrismart]

I honestly pick him to beat them all. Loma would be his toughest fight.

Naz knocks them all out.

Lomachenko would be a hell of a fight and would be the only one I would pick to beat Naz, but I'm talking like a 60/40 fight. That left hand of Naz was just straight nuclear and his awkward style could give Loma some problems. I just think Loma's footwork and timing would ultimately win the day.

Hamed could potentially KO all of them. He was an extremely dangerous fighter.

[BluesMan]

He gets his punk ass whipped by most of them....
