Just wondering what others thoughts are on Orzubek Nazarov - (he finished his career in 1998 with a record of 26-1-0 (19 Ko's) - Held the Title for almost 5 years -

I am in the process of trying to open up my LW Division within my universe (at inside the ropes) and while I have 3 fights of his on tape (very impressive) looking to see if anyone else has thoughts on him -

meade: I never saw him fight but he was a pretty tough champ for a while in my sims.

Japanese based russian. He was a good amateur. He was considered to be a top 15 pound for pound caliber fighter, and probably would have been a good match up with Shane Mosley, who was a young lightweight champion at the time. but started to slip and was upset by Baptiste Mendy I believe. I think inactivity killed him. He was fighting only once or twice a year I believe.
