Who Is Prince Naseem? (seriously :D)

I don't know anything about him but looking at a few clips in this thread he appears to be an absolute riot in the ring.

In some other clip, it appeared that half the time when he got KD'd, he was being a dickhead and wasn't even looking in the direction of his opponent haha? Is this a pretty good indication of his ring antics?

 

he was a terrible (brilliant?) showboater, yes. low-to-no hands defence a lot and a lot of taunting.

 

No but he's corrected your bull**** hasn't he. Trying to make it sound worse than it was saying he was pissed when he did it. Dickhead.

 

He wasn't drunk :deal

 

spot on. he was good fighter with some unique skills that were often his flaws when he stepped up in class

he possess great power is well

 

he was great for the sport but one horrible arrogant arab ******* outside the ring. he nearly killed a man and never showed any remorse and got a shitty sentance

here is an article about his deeds:

All true. But Naz didn't really want a rematch though.

 

naz was very entertaining but was also a cocky twat who you wanted to be knocked out.i used to watch and laugh at him but wanted someone to drop him to teach him a lesson.when he was beaten by barrera i felt gutted really ,funny aint it.
​

 

Overrated and over hyped when active
Underrated in retirement.

 

He's the greatest boxer i've ever seen.

 

Naz was one of the best entertainers in the histrory of the sport ... he retired because there was nothing else for him to prove ... he spent a number of years as a champion ... unified titles and beat the best in his division. He took the risk of fighting across the pond and did it a few times ... he also brought some of the biggest stars in entertainment to his fights.

He's like a once in a generation type of fighter as far as what he brought to a fight ... the true definition of lights, camera, action ...

The last fighter to do that and be effective (win) was Hector Camacho ... and maybe Jorge Paez

 

A young focus Naz train by Ingle was awesome. I believe he would have given Barerra a fight.

 

Very good post.

 

Nothing else for him to prove?!?! Surely, SURELY, you are joking.

He had EVERYTHING left to prove and he will now NEVER be thought of as an ATG because he didn't step up and prove it.

The very 1st time he fought a world class, top of his game, pound for pound top 10, future HOF guy... and he lost convincingly.

Therefore, he had it all to prove then.

TO PROVE he was not just a flashy bigmouth who could back it up when the going got tough
TO PROVE he could beat the very best guys out there, the cream of the crop, as although he had beaten some very good fighters in his career, none were on Barrera's level
TO PROVE he was better than the man who beat him, Marco Antonio Barrera
TO PROVE he had the character, the substance, the integrity, the fighters heart and fighting spirit, to do what almost all of the greats have done and proved he could come back from a defeat, stronger and better than before.


He had it all to prove and he failed to do so.

 

still cannot see him winning though
