    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?

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    P4P Naz would knock Amir into the future.

    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.
