    He could KO anyone but I think Barerra & Morales would always beat Naz.

    For some reason he never had the guts to fight Espinosa.

    That would've made him undisputed back in the day.

    He fought and beat Soto right after Soto had beaten Espinosa,and was in the eys of everyone,undisputed then.

    Dont think a lack of guts had anything to do with it

    :deal He had flaws that fighters he fought could not use against him because of his physical ability, but once he faced elite fighter he was figured out and beaten clearly 9 3, with point taken from MAB for sonning Prince it came to 8 4 but it was really 9 3.
    Talking about his showmanship, money and attention he brought thats undeniable but talking about his status when you look at it now he isnt even close to being ATG, and he did not prove that he would beat truly elite guys prime Pac, Floyd, Morales, JMM all beat him!

    Naseem thought he was on the moon, Barrera put him back on earth.

    I just wished he had fought on.

    Conceivably,his best days were ahead of him.

    He just really didnt want it anymore when the end came.

    It wasnt just that he was beat against Barrera,its that he didnt even seem to care.

    There was little urgency in the ring. It wasnt that Barrera was hurting him even.

    Had he beaten MAB and retired he would have been remembered as something really special.
