    I think barrera be more agressive and ko him the second time. He had a lot of respect for Naz when they fought.

    Naz' defense was abmysal, he would probably have been embarrassed even more than the first fight.

    He would have lost again. Barrera was to good for him.

    Big Naz fan here but

    a) he wouldn’t have ever trained hard for the rematch.

    b) even if he did he would have still lost.

    no shame in that. Some good nights had watching Naz.

    Barerra was better but at 100% I would back Prince Naseem to KO him early

    It would have been worse for Hamed.

    Same outcome, but probably a more dominant win for MAB.

    Barrera was an ATG no shame in losing to him. Hamed was always entertaining, but this fight showed that power & an unorthodox approach cannot match supreme boxing skill, generally speaking.

    I miss the Prince, sure wish he was around to shake things up a bit!

    I was only 13 but from what I remember, Hamed was absolutely huge box office, bigger than Lennox Lewis due to his fighting style and no one attracted more to British boxing until Ricky Hatton and Anthony Joshua.

    It was sad to see how soundly beaten he was by Barrera but no doubt Hamed would have been outclassed again if there was a rematch. Us British fans were in awe of Barrera and massively respected him ever since just like when Mayweather did similar to Hatton.

    Naz probably would have been more cautious. Losing maybe every round.
