    When Naz was in his prime a few people who sparred with him said he punched like your average middleweight. Do you believe this? Compared to the MEAN AVERAGE puncher of every division (say a Larry Donald at heavyweight or a Derrel Coley at welterweight), what weight class do you think these guys 'punched like'?

    Prefer, "Jr. Middle," & also, "Jr. Welter," myself (don't care for, "Super-Welter," either), but it is in part a colloquialism. The British more often prefer, "Light-Middle," while a lot of other countries more routinely opt for, "Jr. Middle."
