Yup agree completely. Naz was more personable with his trash talking. Mayweather just raises heckles. Although the question of who's the better boxer shouldn't even be up for debate.

In the late 90's and early 00's, Naz was considered by almost every expert in the fight fraternity to be the worlds best around his weight mark.....this was clearly seen prior to his bout with Augie Sanchez....which only materialised when Naz put his title on offer to both Marco Antonio Barerra, and Erik Morales, as well as calls for bouts with the then unbeaten Shane Mosley at a catchweight, and Diego Corrales, with Mayweathers name also floating around... People often forget that Barrera and Morales blatantly refused the chance to fight the Prince, who was looking ominously good in his destructions of fighters like Johnson and Bungu, possessed knockout power in both hands aswell as a great chin, with excellent use of angles and movement, and blistering speed. I will find a video prior to this fight with Augie in which HBO's team of analysts Larry Merchant and Co, as well as fighters like George Foreman, Roy Jones Jr, offering their plaudits for the Prince, who in their words 'looks like the most sensational fighter since a young Cassius Clay' so for all those who say he was never considered to be P4P or ATG, need a reality check yes he underachieved, due to his loss of love for the sport, and unwavering ego....but the Prince could never be considered a underdog against anyone thank you mate:happy
i strongly disagree. i always thought nazs trash talking was very forced, lacking in originality and never, ever witty. im the best, im so pretty, im going to knock him out etc etc. was all ripped off other people and never made me laugh. floyd on the other hand doies occasionally come out with good stuyff eg in manchester at pre fight promotion with hatton. big crowd there booing flyd. host. how does it feel in the lions den? floyd: I am the lion!! was a great line.....
Whats so bad about what he's saying? He never mentioned he was better than Mayweather but rather just pointing out the fact that he's had a big impact on boxing .. and he's right!
