    He had massive legs which is rare as normally they should be like sticks and the top half built like Evander.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Most of his title fights were against good to goodish opposition, he had quite an impressive title reign.

    Wilfredo Vasquez
    Tom Johnson
    Kevin Kelley
    Manuel Medina
    Steve Robinson
    Wayne McCullough
    Cesar Soto

    That's not a bad list of opponents.

    If you watch interviews and build up going into the Barrera fight, Hamed said several times he was in the best shape of his life. Both Steward and Suarez didn't think Barrera would see 12, Hamed was so ready. So all them bullshit excuses about Hamed not training are just that. Bullshit excuses. The reason Hamed lost to Barrera was cuz Barrera was the better fighter. It's that simple. And it was always the case. They could of rematched 10 times. And Hamed would of lost 10 times. Barrera went into the Hamed fight having already been in 55 fights. It wasn't even a prime Barrera that beat Hamed's ass. A prime Barrera finishes Hamed inside 5

    Physically he wasn't at his best, but technically he did improve as a fighter. He was a bit like B-Hop where he improved with age, if you look at MAB in the 1st Junior Jones fight his defence was shocking and that MAB would of been KO'ed by Hamed.

    You can see in the rematch with Junior Jones he started to box more, but he wasn't quite at the level he was vs Hamed. I think the Junior Jones fight helped MAB alot, it showed he wasn't unbeatable and that he had to improve his boxing skills and defence to stay at the top.

    I don't think there was a rematch because of the reactions he was getting from the crowds after the 9/11 attacks. he was getting things thrown at him when he did return for the 1 fight before retiring.

    I was a huge Naz fan but I don't think he was beating MAB maybe 2/3 times out of 10.

    Lets keep this real. If prime Barrera fought prime Naz 10 times, the most realistic outcome is....

    Barrera wins 2 times by close points decision. Naz wins 2 times by TKO

    And Naz wins 6 times by devastating sparked unconcious KO.

    I don't see how any serious boxing fan could argue with that. Fact.

    This documentary should be shown to all up and coming fighters as a warning to what happens when you swallow too much of your own hype.



    This picture should be shown to everybody as a warning as to what happens when you swallow too many pies.

    Well... I don't know about any of this "theoretical rematch" nonsense... since it never did happen.
    But I do know this: Hamed could eat TWICE as much as Barrera could right now.

    Fact.

    It looks like he's eaten Ricky Hatton or his on his way to audition for a part in Dr Who?

    his fans were booing because he was shit against a shit fighter and when his corner tried to pep him up for the fans between rounds 'fuck the fans' was his response

    I was delighted when Naz got a ass whipping from Barrera.His ego was out of control
    and he was the most obnoxious little shit,He became lazy and relied upon his power
    more and more.Naz was well beaten by Barrera and his best win was Kelley, hardly
    HOF credentials.

    That's true but he was getting things thrown at him while making his entrance to the ring.
