    Roy reached his prime and got the most out of his skills by the time he lost, but Naz did not. He could have done more I think. I wish he would have kept going after Barrera. One style does not define a great boxer. I think that took a lot out of him, and really in boxing one loss or fight is not a big deal if someone can prove they can come back and show perseverance, which is the best quality of a fighter I think.

    Naseem Hamed He has only 1 defeat in his career, and not by knockout. So I would not call his fall tragic at all.
