How great could prince naseem of been if he put in the work?

His unorthodox style mixed with athleticism, speed and reflexes are what made him great.

Had he tried to change any of this, he might not have succeeded at all.

By the time the MAB fight came along, it was too late to learn new tricks.

 

Also take into account, that he was basically finished at 26.

So many questions about what may have been

 

TALENT WISE ...he's def 1 of the best ever!

 

exactly how he turned out, he was dedicated until the last few years of his career. he never really beat anyone elite nor even fight any true elite fighters.

MAB was very good but short of elite status. some on here throw around elite talent like its the norm. very very few truly elite fighters come along each era.

his best win was a back and forth KD fest with, wtf was his name ???

kevin Kelley who was pretty good

 

Talent wise; one of the best ever; I agree with this.

Nazeem actually hit so hard his hands could not take the power. This is why he retired. Too many broken hands. He got fed up.

 

A large part of his training for MAB involved watching and rewatching Junior Jones (another southpaw) koing Barerra, this basically confirmed to Hamed that he too would do a job on MAB.

 

Hamed would have been taken apart by the first really good boxer he faced regardless of if he trained or not. Punching power is great but it can only go so far in covering up for technical flaws.

 

came unstuck with the first great he fought, and didn't have the character to try again.

the most he can claim is perhaps hof status in the future.

 

Too bad he lost the love for the sport. One of my favorite fighters

 

Outside of Morales, what is Marco Antonio Barerras best win?

 

MAB faced 25 title holders

He should be a first ballot HOFer
