Re: Biggest Let Down In British Boxing History
Audley was gold medalist.. so I don't think that is much of guide, certainly not these days, as daxx alluded too.
It was obvious early-doors Khan's punch resistance was seriously dodgy. His defence was shit. The chin didn't change and nor did the defence.
Game over.

I wouldn't say a let down but someone with Herol Graham's talent, i think it was very disappointing he never picked up a belt.

Errol Christy and Herol Graham spring to mind.

Audley....
Despite having a stellar early career would people say Naz career was a let down?
He did accomplish a good amount of things but be real, did he fufill all expectations?
Re: Biggest Let Down In British Boxing History
Kirkland Laing is another one that comes to mind aswell, he totally outboxed the great Roberto Duran, how he didn't achieve more is beyond me. I think of the UK members mentioned before that he lives like a tramp now or something ? which is sad to hear.

Re: Biggest Let Down In British Boxing History
From a successful career point of view Naz surely lived every fighters dream (undisputed champ, top rated P4P, and most importantly retired healthy with MILLIONS) .. from a fans perspective, the end was a let down. He funked off with his tail between his legs. The fights that could have been with Morales, Marquez, Pac.. shame.Originally Posted by CutMeMick

Re: Biggest Let Down In British Boxing History
Has Naz ever given a definitive answer to why he walked away?
Re: Biggest Let Down In British Boxing History
I don't think he has but i think because he had such a big ego, he couldn't handle the fact in his own mind that he lost. And also in his last fight he looked like a shot fighter and the crowd were booing and were also walking out.
Which means he couldn't entertain anymore and that probably effected him mentally, along with the lose to Barerra all in row.
So if he did have any plans in his mind for a serious comeback, i think his last fight pretty much put an end to that.

He could never have walked into the ring shouting Allah! after 9/11 anyway lol, I just think the loss broke his confidence. It was a real whupping

He said at that point in his life he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Lackluster end to a very flamboyant career.
