Video of Prince Naseem talking about retirement and Floyd

naz was the type of guy everyone loved to hate, i remember attending one of his fights, i was rooting for him at first before his entrance and then by the time his entrance finished (near 10 minutes) i wanted to see him get ktfo, the arrogance and cockiness was unreal, the fight lasted less than 2 minutes though.

for some reason it doesn't suite floyd, especially when he plays the hard man role and tries to be intimidating such as in the build up to hatton and de la hoya.

 

Naz at his peak used to be a nasty SOB, he was more reserved in the latter part of his career (Barrera Sanchez), what made Naz the ruthless spectacular fighter he was, was the hunger and cockyness, he lost that by the time he fought BArrera.

Like he said in the interview, he had other things (kids), I remember Emanuel Steward saying the "worst thing that can happen to a fighter is become Civilized".

 

I remember that quote from Rocky III.

 

No matter how long he's out of the spotlight that kid Hamed cannot resist being a douche.
