    On 07/04/2001, 35-0 Prince Naseem Hamed stepped up to fight Mexican hotshot Marco Antonio Barrera, which pretty much sealed the fate of the Prince

    I think hameds muslim intro is awesome and barrera schooled him.
    Nas was smart to retire, his heart wasnt in it anymore he would have picked up more losses. Still I think he is a waste of potential.

    Before the fight i thought Barerra couldnt take his power and even though hed win the rounds picking up the points by doing the graft while Naseem danced around it wouldnt matter cuz it wouldnt go 12.

    During the fight i thought ****.

    Directly after the fight i thought, oh well maybe this is for the good, Naseem now understands he cant just rely on knocking them all out, sometimes hes guna have to throw more standard jabs, win some rounds on workrate not flooring people.

    And then i realised Barerra has took one of my favourite fighters souls.

    Boxing misses people like Naz. I hated him, love watching that Barrera fight but he was damn exciting and did a lot for the sport in Britain.

    no need to apologise, the guy who made the video was just a bit too racist.

    i hated Nas at the time. i even told my friends wayyyy back in the day that once he faces one of the superior Mexican lil men, he would get whooped.

    his talent is undeniable but the level of his opposition obviously made him look that much better.

    over the years i've learned to appreciate the guy. i actually miss the **** in the ring now.

    I remember a lot of people in the UK saying he would be in for a shock when he faced the top mexican fighters.

    I didn't think Barrera had enough left at the time, but, loved every minute of it...Never thought for a second that would be the last time we'd see the prince, he is missed...
