Naz is a first ballot HOFer and an ATG, how many featherweights in the modern era of multiple championships have gone on to beat every other champion in their division, most by KO reign supreme as THE CHAMPION for a number of years? His only loss to a great fighter in Barrera and that too a close fight (people forget that).
I think it's because Naz was the first fighter since Ali to really bring Islam to the fore in boxing and by this stage, the US media and the British too, knew the effects that could have on a new generation of fan so they tried to neuter him and the moment he loss, the shunned him.
Naz should have been in the HOF in his first year of eligibility.
