There you go. Broner may be the most obnoxious of all time. Pretty huge accomplishment considering he's so young.
Alot of Hamed's act was just that, an act. Im sure he wasn't the most down to earth guy but he has at least got a sense of humour.
Very good, but not an all time great. The most unorthodox boxer I've seen in the ring -- sometimes he had no guard at all, and he mainly used head and upper body movement rather than parrying to deal with punches. When he threw his own shots they were unusual, like leaping lead uppercuts from a crouch, or lunging straight lefts. He often switched stances while fighting. Sometimes he leaned back and threw shots at the same time. It's hard to define his style, because (particularly in the last part of his career) he relied on power punching, but he moved like he was trying to be a slick boxer. He was known for knocking people out, but he set a lot of his best punches up by counterpunching. Quick hands and feet, good reflexes, top level power, very agile, awkward and crafty, and a good chin. Bad balance at points, relied too much on single shots as he progressed in his career, sometimes less effective when the opponent didn't go to him, and often vulnerable due to his very low guard and the way he committed himself to punches. He probably looked his sharpest against Robinson. His best win was likely the Kelley fight. (Which was also one of the most entertaining matches I've seen.) Barrera boxed very well against him. Very sharp jabbing, footwork, counters, combinations and a good, tight guard. Even when he stunned Naseem he didn't try to finish things -- he just stayed back and kept boxing, refusing to give Naseem a chance to land a big counter in an exchange. Even though Naseem didn't become the ATG he wanted to be, I think he was one of the most entertaining fighters the sport has seen. He had the kind of amusing casual arrogance that Mayweather and Broner try to portray, but they're poor at it -- it feels forced and dull. Naseem pulled it off. (At one point Mayweather actually wanted to fight Naseem though, and I think Naseem is lucky that the fight never happened.)
Naz was different to any boxer ever, in the UK people either loved him or hated him but everyone watched him. He was a true entertainer and he had fun doing it and had fun in the ring until later on in his career. Mab changed his whole style for the fight and naz had not prepared for that at all. If Barrera fought the same way he did against morales then it was the perfect style for naz and that is all his team prepared for. No one really knew that Barrera could fight like that until this fight. Although I still think, if naz was with ingle and was training properly he could have won that fight. Naz had an underrated jab as well as an unorthodox corkscrew uppercut and a lightening fast, very powerful straight left on the counter. He was a very good fighter who could have been so much better. Also the most entertaining fighter who brought money and exposure to the lighter divisions. Naz was also small even for a feather and gave away 6" in reach against mab.
A Great B Level fighter, made the most of his limited skill set, he had alot of haters and people elated to see Barrera spank him because of his arrogance, which was disproportionate, to his skill level.
Brought a great deal of attention to the lower weight classes. Was a very exciting and charismatic in his prime. He one shot KO power and was a beast while he was prime. HOF caliber fighter one of my favorites. Had some good wins over Kelly, Sanchez and Mccullough
He was no more 'exposed' by MAB than Mike Tyson was against Danny Williams. The version of Naz who faced Barrera was a shadow of his former self and his career is virtually a mirror image of Tyson's. Naz has hardly bothered to even train for fights a long while before he fought MAB and even a terrible version of Naz gave a peak MAB a decent fight.
