Barrera vs. Princess Hamed

Ha! Naz must go down as the most annoying boxer ever!? I cant belive how much he got under everyones skin! I cant think of another boxer who everyone hates so much? Personally i liked naz, not as much out of the ring but in it, i dont think anyone has ever pulled off that style like hamed did, ok his mouth was annoying but he always talked the talk then walked the walk (bar mab whos one of the best ive seen at that weight) i think naz could of beaten mab or would of put up a better display maybe 4 or 5 fights previous as he trained harder, by the time naz boxed mab he had well and truley got too big for his boots! He'd stopped listening to his trainers etc and totally forgot what was important in boxing,

Barrera had been trying to fight Hamed for a long time, as had Marquez, and he ducked them both. Then barrera had a fight, looked not so good and Hamed signed to fight him...then Barrera ko's Jesus Salud and Hamed tried to get out of the fight.
Made some good money on that fight because I knew Barrera would box him. Hamed was a counterpuncher; Kevin Kelly would've beaten him if he hadn't got in a hurry. Let Hamed lead and he's an easy night out. But he could counter you very forcefully.

I've always hated Hamed with ever fibre of my being, he is just unbelievably annoying.
When I listened to the radio commentary for Groves Degale, Naz came on talking a load of crap, saying he saw nothing good about Groves and Degale would win easily. Even now he is still an arrogant toe rag, British fighter or not, I was so glad when Berrera beat and humiliated him.

I also hated how he constantly shoved his religion in people's faces, it was Allah every other word. Religion and sport should never mix, if people want to believe that their god has helped them then fine. But do it with dignity like George Foreman, a quick mention or silent prayer here and there.
Not like Holyfield with his wife with a direct line to god or Naz with "Allah wanted me to do this blah blah". Sorry guys rant over just thinking of Naz gets me so bloody angry!

Clearly not one for the atheists then ;D

(bar mab but he was the best around!) ive read hamed life story, brendan ingle quoted 'the only person to beat naz will be himself' and the way he goes in the book driving cars stupidly not training properly and not listening to his trainers all lead to naz getting a boxing lesson from mab!! Shame he never came back with a clear refreshed mindset, i think he'd lost interest in the sport long before the mab fight

yeah naz was superb, we'll never have a fighter like him again

IMO he'd of beaten barrera had he put the effort in but its one of those things that no one will ever be sure about

was barrera just better than naz or was it because naz didnt train properly

We didn't see as much of Hamed here in the U.S. as i'm sure you did in the UK, so I didn't know too much about the Allah bullshit, it's easy to see how that, along with the gay ring entrances would be unbelievably annoying.

It's been my experience with egotistical dimwits like Hamed, who have an almost fanatical belief in god/allah et al, that they eventually come to the conclusion that 'they' are god.

he was a total cunt

That's utter rubbish.

Barrera and Marquez both turned down career high paydays to face Naz (obviously before Barrera accepted). Both their managers are on record saying it. Fact.

Barrera was just better. Hamed looked very much in shape going in. And he stated several times that he indeed was in the best shape of his career going into the Barrera fight. Fact.

So all that bullshit about Hamed not being in shape was just that. Bullshit. Bullshit that the Hamed followers lie about cuz they can't accept the fact that he got punked by a past his prime Barrera.

It always seemed to me, that because of Hamed's unorthodox style, the 1st really talented, world class, boxer/puncher that came along would school him. Which as it turned out, was exactly what happened.

Bottom line: Hamed was another case of an overhyped fighter, with little real boxing skill, who got exposed.

Hamed vs Kelly is still my favorite fight. No one fought quite like Hamed so he was exciting to watch. I enjoy watching him fight more than Barerra.
