    Naz was rich and decided to take the easy way out.

    Your as worthless as the guy in your avatar.

    Good fighters can get wins, Great fighters can comeback from losses.

    And you dont know **** if he gave it all of not, you dont know what is going through his head.

    Well ****in said right there Boom Boom! "Great fighters come back from losses."
    Frank Warren circus clown was exposed and the ride was over. I can't believe some are actually say the fight with Barrera was close. :patsch or that Naz lost only cuz his heart wasn't in it. **** that documentary little prince ****!

    Hamed took a beating by the first elite fighter he faced and he knew it would happen again if he challenged himself so he quit.

    I think after Naseem had suffered his first professional loss in the manor that he did, his confidence was shot.

    In his first fight after the Barrera fight, he was unable to stop his man but won a landslide decision.

    In all of his previous fights Naseem was knocking everybody out, so that wouldn't have done his confidence anymore good.

    I think Barrera brought Naseem back down to earth, and shown him he wasn't the best fighter in the world or that had ever lived.

    It was too much to take for Naz.

    There is so much sh*t on this thread.

    1) Barrera wasn't a big name before the fight. He was just a Super Bantamweight beltholder moving up
    2) Hamed was an ultra-confident fighter. He was always gonna lose his aura once finally he lost a fight
    3) He hated training - look at him now
    4) He was massively dependent on his reflexes and they'd started to slow
    5) He, like most Asians in Britain, had a close family and after falling out with Ingle it mean't he'd have to move away from them (maybe to the US) to train. Which he didn't want.

    His peak was early - maybe 24. He did his time, fought all-comers then retired.

    GTFoutahere....Barrera became a champion around the same time Hamed did, and was a high profile fighter thanks to his participation in his FOTY against Morales. Barrera was definitely a big-name opponent for Hamed.

    ..and the rest of your post was nothing but bulls#it excuses for Hams loss!!

    But you're right there is "so much sh*t on this thread", thanks for your contributions:deal

    This I dont get.....everyone mostly thought that despite Barrera losing his 1st fight to Morales that he actually WON IT!!! So Naz took the one perceived by the public as the winner!

    Barrera won convicingly but only by 7-5, 8-4 rounds, I remember watching it live. It was hardly "the beating of his life" I know that is the legend, but its just because so many people hated Nas at the time, like they do now. but hamed was never knocked down i dont believe..

    Believe me, I'm no fan boy, Im not from england and i could care less about the 126 division for the most part but Nas was awesome.. he was very explosive and powerful. much like Pac if he would have retired after his first loss against morales. He is very underrated now-a-days..

    Im not a fan of Nas really, thats just the way i see it..
