Sad part about it is, he should of been alot more. Unlike Hamed, he knew how to fight.
Just because you don't fight the way the general public believes a boxer should fight doens't mean you can't fight... prime examples are Roy Jones Jr., and Ali.
Hamed knew how to fight either.Quote:

With Naz it was hanging with the arse kissers and reading the newspaper.
Hamed could punch. He couldn't fight. Barerra showed everybody that. It was Hamed wicked power that carried him to the top.Quote:

It was when he depended on his power solely that he looked bad when he got away from his style and instead went to just searching for one punch that got him exposed.
I agree. Anyway I'm out. Good discussion. You made good points. That cc was from me. Late
back at you
fatboy naz may have plenty of cash but he had no heart, he only ever fought one world class guy, lost, then was never seen in the ring again
Correct he made 30 million from his career.Quote:

If you saw that that documentary about him i wouldnt be surprised if he hasnt much left
spends like no tomorrow
That paper is known for telling lies
Investment + boxing + plus all that sponsership money from adidas and other companies could have netted him ~50 or so maybe.
SOrry just realised the guy above me said this,, nvm
No wonder he doesn't fight anymore, he made enough!
and ALL the money in the world couldn't by him the title of "GREAT" next to his name cuz no matter how much money he made he can't buy that. 8)
Naz was huge in the Yemin and Saudia Arabia. He got given houses, expensive cars, treasures and doubtless a few camels from the Arab dudes. He was a God over there. The Sultan of Brunei I think it was who showered him with gifts.Quote:

And Tyson has lost probably close to £100 million.
They must have to be like that Eddie Murphy or Richard Prior film where he has a month to spend so many millions in order to inherit his rich uncles fortune!
