15 strait is very impressive, but going into the Barrera fight he had so much star power, almost as much as Oscar (but not quite). He loses the fight horribly and does not redeem himself at all, not just against Barrera but any of the top fighters in his weight class, he falls off of the map. I was a big Naz fan and I remember many of the fights during that 15 defenses, he was so fast he would keep his hands down by his waist when fighting (he was that good). And then stiff competition came and he collapsed. With all the hype surrounding him with the HBO contract, endorsements, ESPN highlights, antics in the ring he did not live up. By the way I agree with the Harrison quote
