Why did Prince Nas retire so soon?

Hamed was not beat down by Barrera ... he was outboxed ... but you noticed that Barrera didn't take the risk of trading with Hamed ... he had alot of respect for Hamed's power.

There was no one else out there for him to fight ...

 

did you even watch boxing then

 

I saw the fight I was a kid but I remember most of it never question my knowledge

 

why it seems poor

 

keep to the subject of the thread as im in no mood for post fight! YOU'll see my posts in the future so dont jump to your conclusions

 

because he is a *****

 

This B.S. about Hamed not being properly motivated is such a crock of ****. Barrera and Hamed were the two biggest names at the time and they had been on a collision course for some time.

I remember The Ring and other boxing mags hyping that potential matchup for at least a year before they even met in the ring.

If Hamed could not get motivated for a boxer like MAB then he was never what some of you are claiming he was and he deserves all the criticism he's getting.....but don't try to take any credit from Barrera's brilliant performance that night!:deal

 

well as it wasn't an ass kicking but rather an outboxing that doesn't seem like a great way to show your boxing knowledge. I think if you want to learn more about naz watch the docu the little prince the big fight.

 

a fighter like barrera who only got the name he has now after beating hamed and his latter fights. Lets not forget barrera and morales wnated none of the pricne the previous few years.

 

Completly correct, he's a little arrogant fraud. I rarely disrespect fighters but Naz is actually one who deserves it. I love watching the Barrera fight and see his face after he gets embarrased.

 

You must be one of those Hamed apologists. And biased as hell may I add, please don't forget to mention about Hamed ducking JMM for about 2 years(That's all documented if you care to look it up):deal

 

it definatly was an amazing performance from barrera but people have seemed to erase from it that hamed was actually winning rounds in that fight,it was nowhere near the 'beatdown' some claim it to be.


once hamed left ingle,he lost his tyle,his style was so incompatible with steward's methods,it was a match made in hell.

hamed was a man driven by ego and once he lost his aura kind of disappeared,he couldn't capture others and his own imagination in the way he used to be able to,barrera showed him that he could be outboxed and hamed had come to rely to heavily on his power,he was too set in his lifestyle that he didnt want to put the committment in to boxing that was needed.

it just makes you feel robbed that a man of his talent won't be seen for a little while.

 

how is saying he wasn't into fighting an apology its a fact, it downgrades his level as a fighter as it is his fault but to try and claim he was in his prime fighitn barrera is **** and shows bias.

 

Hamed was bizarre in the build up to that fight, his head wasn't in the fight.

He was said to have been more concerned with Buffer talking about Allah than he was about winning the fight.

His sparring was dreadful, the worst I've ever seen.

Then there was the **** about the gloves etc.

Hamed's ego had spiralled out of control, his training and sparring was **** and he'd become reliant on single punches.

Prime Hamed would have beaten Barrera.
