    It seems to me the last fight that he had any sort of passion in was the one against Billy Hardy.

    According to the bio, Billy Hardy's coach had a feud going on with Ingle, to the point where he sabotaged the chances of Ingle's fighters making the Olympic team. Naz promised Ingle that he would revenge him for that, since he felt he was denied the chance as well.

    in the barrera fight he looked disinterested. i never saw him like that before in a fight. u watch him in his fight with kelley. he was really up for that one. dancing like a fool and pissing off kelley like crazy taking his sweat time to get into the ring. that was vintage nas

    I think he was too full of himself in the Kelley fight, he genuinely believed he was going to KTFO Kelley in 1-2 rounds. He was jabbing beautifully in the 1st round and then got caught coming in.

    In retrospect, maybe the Badillo fight was the last fight where he had shown everything: jab, defense, power, cunning, adaptability.

    i love esb... in a fight where the judges scored it by 3 rounds to barrera can it over-time become a fight that ended 120-108 in a calzaghe v lacy style beatdown

    disinterested is a mild way of saying that he got schooled by barrera....
