Nas was epic
Yeah.... those half-hour ringwalks complete with magic carpet rides, disco dancing, and flips into the ring were without equal. ;D
Max Power probably thinks Hamed was robbed against MAB.
I couldn't stand The Prince's act, but I can acknowledge his talent.
Marvelous athleticism and reflexes, speed, and man, The Prince could PUNCH!
The act was really just that: an act, inspired quite a bit by the brash, fast-talking Ali of the early and mid-60s, and it was done for showmanship to build the gate.
It can't be denied that The Prince did duck Juan Manuel Marquez for several years and never did fight him. Juan Manuel was The Prince's mandatory literally for several years. I think Marquez would've done an even better job on Naseem than the masterful job that Barrera ultimately did on Naseem.
Almost every fighter has a matchup or two that didn't happen though.
Too bad he retired. He was still an outstanding fighter when he walked away. He was the best featherweight in the world for a while, World Champion, Box office draw, and has a tremendous highlight reel.

Barrera was very dirty in that fight with The Prince.
Nobody gave a $#!t though because so many people hated The Prince and had been waiting for someone to give him a good ol fashion @$$-whuppin'....
...but Barrera was pretty damn dirty in that fight.
Barrera with the half-nelson ramming The Prince's head into the corner turnbuckle, WWE style. I have to admit, I laughed out loud when he did that. :D
That's entertainment !
