The Naz hate on here is unreal

:deal

 

I'd recommend this documentary to anyone. Shot in the build up to the Barrera fight. His arrogance was a thin shell to build himself up for a fight, as it is with most fighters. Watching it, it seems to me he never really believed he was going to win that fight.

Anyway, point is, I don't think he was that bad a bloke outside the ring.

 

How so?

 

^^^Another clueless muppet.

The Barrera that fought that night beats Pac at that weight

Which was clearly not peak Naz, he'd split from Ingle by then and was just not performing upto his pevious standards.

 

Spot on.

No offense to those but i personally rate him higher than Joe and Ricky.

He was that good, just ashame by the time those fights came about he wasnt at/showing his best, definitely had falling out of love with the sport and was slacking.

 

Its not a matter of hate. If he'd beaten anyone of legitimate worth he'd be rated.

Simple as that.

All the talent in the world means nothing when you retire with no resume. :bart

You can't reasonably expect anyone to favorably predict how he would preform at the highest levels when Barrera is our only example.

He never fought a fighter as good as MAB before he fought MAB.Never.You can claim all the Bungus,Vasquezes,Kellys,Sotos,Sanchezes and whomever you want,but NONE of those guys were on the same level as MAB(or PAC for that matter),which is why there's no proof whatsoever that an earlier hamed would have done better.And neither was Hamed on the same level as those 2.And if you are a Hamed fan as you claim,then you would know that he was a lazy trainer for many years before he fought MAB.MANY.And you're a boxing fan as you claim,then you would know that his undisciplined,psych out style was tailor-made for a disciplined technician like MAB.And if the lack of respect that Hamed receives from his detractors(like myself)annoys you,then you only have your hero to blame,as he was a disrespectful,arrogant,self-serving,condescending bully that feasted on lesser opponents and got embarrassed in the same way that he embarrassed so many lesser opponents by MAB.Make excuses for that ***** forever,but he honestly got exactly what he deserved.

 

You say all that but MAB at his peak won a pts decision over Naz nowhere near his best and out of lov with the game also recently split from his life long trainer.

Peak Naz beats Mab.

There will never be another Prince.

 

Once again,as always:there is absolutely no proof to support your opinions concerning your hero.Except the one about your saying,"There will never be another prince".That's true because I doubt there will be another ******* as big as Hamed.

 

if you are arrogant then you will be hated. ****ing plain and simple.

 

True.His supporters need to accept that fact and move on.

 

I dont hate Naz, Im not a big fan either but I'd love to see him back in the ring again.

 

Totally... the dude had no respect for his opponents and after getting his ass handed to him he is over. The dude was a flash in the pan as a real champ would have sacked up.

 

One loss may define a career, but it does not wipe it all away. Naz was a great featherweight, was great for the sport.

 

His performance against Kelly was really poor if you study and look back on it.
Naz was entertaining, bags of power but i think he's overrated by his fans. At elite level, i feel he'd always come up short, he'd have a punchers chance and that it.
