    All time great, legend in every respect.

    I'm not a starry eyed type at all. But I was proud to shake his hand.

    An all around solid professional.

    But a bit of a sucker for a right hand.

    Morales landed very few great right hands over the course of three fights.

    Naz was big with Casual Boxing fans, I remember watching with a crowd of mates and was the only one who had money on Barrera to win. I was super-confident MAB would do a number on Naz and really enjoyed the fight and watching reality sink in with them :lol:

    Also remember telling the same crowd about a year later that Eamonn McGhee would give Hatton problems, they laughed until Hatton got put on his ass in round one :yep

    Barrera is a legend :smoke

    Casual fans...actually liked him? :blood

    I always perceived that he had the same appeal to the general public in the UK that Mayweather has (for the most part) here in the US - people tuning in wanting to finally see someone shut his mouth and humble him in defeat.

    Not from what I can remember, everyone liked Naz and wanted to see him knock people out.

    Dont get me wrong, his ring entrance in that Barrera fight raised a few eyebrows with the crowd I was with and by the end of the fight they were all Barrera fans :yep

    Naz had a large casual following but at same time there was many who hated him. For various reasons some being more decent then others...

    I for one always tuned in hoping someone would humble him, MAB answered those wishes!.

    Nah, MAB was better than Pedroza and would have hammered him.
