Good post, this is the truth and there are a couple of other good names too. Naz was brilliant, massive power and an unusual, exciting style. Yeah he was a bit of a **** but he got people watching and he was hard as ****. People make out like it was a disgrace losing to Barrera. Thats Marco Antonio Barrera !!! He did **** up his career certainly after the fight and maybe a bit before it too getting too far above his station but that isnt an excuse for the loss. ****in hell, you lot are supposed to be boxing fans?
He was legit, he just gets hated on because of his personality on and off the ring. I've even laughed at talked some **** before, but I honestly recognize him as being a great fighter. HOF imo. No shame in losing to Barrera, an ATG.
A severe lack of highlight reels in this thread [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLXcgZ84ndk[/ame]
Pleaseatsch Barrera would have starched any version of Hamed. Hamed does get underrated a lot though because of that one loss. Hamed was not "exposed" by Barrera. He was just beaten by a better fighter.
Post the video of you stepping inside the professional ring? Or your world class boxing record on boxrec? Or you stepping inside an amateur ring? Or sparring? Or training at the very least? Go find a new sport to follow if you can't provide evidence. :-(
retired in his prime after the first lose ... that is an evidence .... even if I'm not a real boxer and a chicken doesn't mean I cannot see the chicken in others.
How many chickens go 35-0 prior to fighting barrera? How many chickens have damn near a 84% KO percentage? If you ask me chickens make judgements on folks who have done far more they they could ever dream of accomplishing.
