Who's the better fighter?

Amir Khan
Prince Naseem Hamed

 

Still too early. In time, I think Khan will prove to be the better fighter, but he's only now hitting his stride.

 

That's fair.

At this point, though, I think you have to vote for Naz.

 

Naz was probably more naturally gifted, but Khan is doing more with his talents

 

How so? Because he fights in a more orthodox manner?

 

I dont think they're the same race, unless you mean two muslim fighters.

 

Naz was a very overated fighter, and I say this as a semi-fan. His speed wasn't that good, and it was only his power that was truly spectacular.


While I don't really like khan, I think he's more gifted than Naz, and seemed more focussed on boxing, and he probably will have a better career

 

this. Khan will hopefully go farther than Naz in the end, though.

 

he's by far the fastest super bantamweight i've ever seen. his speed was amazing. too bad he wasnt as fast at 126, but he was still pretty damn fast as a featherweight during his earlier title run.

 

Because he is willing to fight anyone and prove himself. He also has proven he can come back from a humiliating loss.

 

Who mentioned race?

 

Naz

 

So far, Naz by mile. Much better record against better opponents. People forgot after the Barrera humiliation that Naz actually has a very solid ring record

 

I agree that Hameds ring record is underrated but the Marquez duck was blatant, and there's a few other names he could have fought also. He didn't attempt to rebuild his reputation after the Barrera loss either.

 

I said naz but by accident on the poll went for khan

 

Yes, but Hamed is a great human being

 

Of course but that's unfair to Khan. He's been a pro for all of what, 6 years? Naz is a borderline Hall-of-Famer.

I will say that at this point in his career (meaning same point than Khan is at right now), Naz accomplished more but the luster was already in the process of being removed.

That's why I say Khan has greater potential to surpass him, especially if he fights and beats Bradley.

 

They're both shit drivers, that's for sure

 

I think Naz is a lock for the HOF.

While Khan has the potential to be a great fighter, I don't think his chin will hold out. Khan will probably get the chance to face Floyd, Pacq, or both. I think Naz's resume is excellent, but he doesn't have that p4p#1 or #2 guy on his resume. The only one close was probably Barrera in the top 5 (I think) and we know how that went. Hamed has a lot more Maidana/Judah/Kotelnik/Malignaggi types on his resume and he doesn't have a glaring loss to a Prescott, either.

Hamed wasn't that fast? wow

 

Agreed. Right now Hamed but it could change.

 

And I agree that Naz was very fast, I dunno what the guy who said he wasn't "all that fast" has been watching

 

Well you'd know, I suppose.

 

exactly


right now, it is not debateable

 

P4P Naz would knock Amir into the future.

 

no, No, NO, NOOOOO!!

Do not become one of THEM!!!

 

Fair point. Observation retracted.

 

Hut what was your analysis of Khans performance saturday night?

 

Haven't seen it yet mate I was working the hobo railroad, sleeping while I pick axed. I can safely predict that i thought it was the cold, soulless machinations of a Roach-programmed box-bot.

 

I haven't seen writings as expressive as yours since I read Homer's Iliad.
