    He should have carried on fighting after the Barrera defeat and showed what a great fighter is all about or when he was in prison but he has left it way too late.

    There was still endless great paydays for him, hamed-morales, hamed-pacquiao etc

    Sadly naz let his ego get the better of him and never recovered from the idea that he would never ever get beat.

    I think he'd peaked before he fought MAB. If he'd fought MAB a couple of years earlier it would have been a totally different fight.He was getting hit more and more with each fight a sign that his reflexes had slowed and that was the beggining of the end for a fighter with Naz's style. I think Naz knew that too and that's why he never came back.

    He would still have been able to take a lot of fighters out with his power but would have also been a lot more likely to get caught himself and Naz did not like getting hit....

    I think his slew of new trainers messed it up as well.

    Stewart tried to reinvent the wheel and turn hamed into a boxer. And suarez just let him do whatever when it came to training nad let his talent do it. And Hamed probably never loving the putting in of work before a fight didnt do squat while Barerra trained like his life depended on it.

    Hamed's gift was his power, but also his reflexes and his youth and he turned his back on his other gifts for the one power gift. And when that didnt work he had nothing else to fall back on.

    But I doubt there's another barerra out there. Most of the lower weight guys are people who are blood and guts come straight forward fighters so it could be interesting.

    But I'll believe it when I see it.

    Stewart correctly understood that Naz was going to need to become a more conventional boxer if he hoped to have a longer career. Trainers didn't mess Naz up. Naz's refusal to be coached, his overreliance on his reflexes and power (and total neglect of proper technique), and his lazy training habits ruined Naz. If Naz would have listen to Steward and trained properly, he could have continued to be a top level fighter for much longer. Unfortunately, there are few things no trainer can teach you. One thing is heart and the other is character. Naz possessed neither, and that's why he was a flash in the pan. A brilliant, important, and entertaining flash in the pan.

    Well considering he could barely make weight at 175 right now, I think that him doing anything realistically would be an exercise in futility.

    Yea if he is serious , then do it , comeback , stop keep telling us .

    Hamed suffers from a rare disorder , were everytime he opens his mouth shit falls out , which is why Ian Darke never liked to interview Hamed.
    After the weekends fights Paulie M maybe the second ever case of this.
