When he got found out he retired because he believed in all his hype and could not handle the fact that he was in fact far from the greatest which he and many people wrongly believe to be the case.
I disagree. Naz was great. He fought more than one upper level operator...he just failed miserably to one of the better fighters of the last 10 years.
Barrera is & was no joke. That's been proven time & time again.
The problem I have with Naz is the way that he went out. After the loss...he seemed to be just devastated psychologically or some shat. He coulda, shoulda, & woulda done better if he hadn't let it go to his head.
Naz was great...better than just good.
I don't think that he was overratted...when you sit back & think about it...we are all way to harsh on champions. He did what he did & got to the spot he was in by way of a lot of punches & hard work.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
