Love him or hate him. Naz brought entertainment to boxing. After re-watching some fights tonight, naz had a style boxing thats never been seen before with one hell of a punch to go with it. This was the first career i watched from start and dont think ill see one as more entertaining ever in my era. Style was 10/10 value wise to watch, not into all the muslim **** but the ego and showmanship did bring more entertainment to fights. The guy did try to become a legend in the sport.
Pick up Gatti's career set.Quote:

I blame Steward and the 80 million men he had working in his corner later into his career for his downfall.
Naz was effective as an unorthodox reflex fighter. Manny and co. tried to turn him into a boxer. Something he never has been.
Overcoaching a guy like Naz is only damaging.
It kills me when people say he was "exposed" for losing to Barerra. As if losing to one of the top p4p fighters of our era is considered being "exposed".
I criticize his inability to bounce back after the fight, but he was not exposed in the fight.
Heres :coolclick: #1 on me JamieF and Welcome to Casa De Saddo, where your opinion is sure to be crushed by some drunk (WackOff3205 or SalTheButcher)Quote:

I also agree to some extent on the career watching, but I would def. watch Erik Morales career over anyones any day of the week now that career not only is it entertaining it's also represents boxing the actual sport to the fullest.
He and Macho Camacho have a lot in common.
