I never really liked Hamed for his big mouth , but Marco just takes him to school and shows what a great fighter he is , and has an ability to adapt his style for different opponents. This is something Hamed could not do , he had no plan B , i did find it very watchable as it shows a fighter with a sound technique will triumph over a LIMBO DANCER WITH POWER every time
I just wish it had been PACMAN catching Hamed
But anyway you guys tell me your views please

Personally MAB being one of my all time favourite fighters was fighting a unmotivated untrained shadow of his former self in Prince Nazeem Hamed, im not taking anything away from MAB, but the Naz in the ring that night was not the best of him far from it, he was slow predictable and was only throwing single punches. Just my take on it.
Thats just plain WRONG. How could naz not be motivated for the biggest fight of his life? The reason he wasnt at his best was because Barrera wouldnt let him be at his best, and was giving him a pasting. Face it, that was the best naz ever got, and when he fought a top line opponent he got beaten. That is the Truth.
You are taking away from MAB.
Agreed.

Naz said to himself,
"I trained my *ss off and did the best I can, and I still got my *rse kicked... I need to get out of this profession!!!"
You obvioulsy havent seen the footage/documentry leading up this fight?? While MAB was training his arse off in the mountains of big bear, Naz was more intrested in bitching about not having the best room at the Casino he was staying and getting beaton up by his sparring partners, the problem with Naz and his shitty entourage is that he believed his hype to much, and he had to many yes men including Suarez and Manny, there was no discipline after he left Ingle, you just have to look at Mannys face when he came to see Naz spar prior to the fight where he looked like an old man and he was sparirng some average Mexican fighters who were showing him up, Manny looked like he saw a ghost, it was that shocking, Naz was no where near his best, bringing Suarez and Manny in was all wrong he lost all the fundamentals he learnt with Ingle and was now just relying on one shot power, you dont have to agree with me but im not hating on MAB thats how i see it i dont really like Naz i think he is a little turd but is very underrated Champion of his era and is only remembered by many as the " overrated fighter who got schooled", Naz was much more than that, but when his family took over his career and basically tried to milk every penny out of the NAZ brand, thats when it started to go down hill.
Im not saying that Naz would ever beat Barerra i cant make that prediction, but if you think that was Naz at his peak you have not seen much of Naz, if you think it was the level of MAB (Which i do obviouly plays a big part, hes aliving boxing legend) it was more down to Naz, go watch his final fight against an old European fighter called Calvo, who was probably a grade F opponent, Naz was absolutly shocking, the stadium was emptying before the 11th round he was that bad, like i said he had lost his hunger he had made a shit load of cash, and was living the high life, his heart was not in boxing no longer, hence the reason he hasnt fought since he was 27/28. Naz could of made maybe another 10/20 million pounds maybe more if he realy wanted but his fat lazy arse is not in and wasnt prior to the MAB fight.
