Naz was flashy and talented. I would not have labelled him a quitter in the ring, as the beating he took was possibly worse than Jeff Lacy's and Naseem, to his credit, showed some heart.
He was too showy for my liking and humiliated his opponents, especially when they were really overmatched. That's the mark of a bully (albeit a 5'2" bully).
I also think he was badly advised by his brother (but at least he seems to have kept some of his money, unlike countless other fighters over the years) and would have not done much for religious understanding in the UK
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
