Naseem Hamed v Floyd Mayweather

Yeah and really I never understood why losing to Barrera was such a bad thing. He lost to one of the greatest Mexican fighters of all time, one of the greatest guys in the history of his weight class. It's not like he got railed by a bum. Prince was a special talent but he was largely one dimensional.

There's three reasons why he lost to Barrera. 1) Barrera is really good, 2) someone threw a beer at him and absolutely drenched him as he was coming down to the ring and 3) he never did patented flip over the top rope. Those three things coming together made Prince lose.

Hadn't thought about the last two. The beer drenching obviously had to put a kink into his magic carpet/ disco dancing/ half-hour entrance routine. I can see how that would be upsetting to the point of distraction. I also didn't realize he didn't do his flip over the top rope. Hmmm.... bad mistake. Again, an alteration to the routine which probably ultimately did him in. Add to that the rude introduction to the turnbuckle, courtesy of MAB, and I could see why the Prince decided to take his ball and go home.
