    Tell me thats the same guy that fought Barerra and dont tell me Barrera who I think is one of the all time greats outfoxed him , he was beat in the gym, one by his own ego, thinking that Steward would make him better and 2 by the ego of his trainer who couldnt see the guy confused fighters by his unique style and had to change him.
    Saying that I think he's a prick for never taking the rematch and quitting.
    Barrera was simply far too good for Naz. There are no excuses for it. I think that Morales would have done a similar job at that time and maybe even KO'd Naz!

    Yeah.... wasn't that great?
    I became a lifelong Barrera fan after that fight.

    Naw.....Barrera beat em just fine and pretty well all by himself

    That was an Lol exchange between Foreman/Lampley.....another case of over boisterous rah-rah man Lampley going all

    The excuse that Hamed was not mentally or physically prepared for this fight is BS. Barrera was the first great fighter Hamed faced...and Marco exposed him. Don't get me wrong...Hamed was an entertaining fighter with physical gifts. But he had no where close the same overall skill, intelligence, and heart like Barrera possessed. Marco won the mental war (some call it dirty tactics, but Marco new exactly what kind of effect the turnbuckle incident would have on a weak minded fighter like Hamed) and he ultimately won the physical war. Marco's game plan for that fight was perfect. So it doesn't matter if Hamed was maybe not at his most focused for the fight. He simply didn't have the polished skill or ring intelligence to ever beat a legend like Barrera.

    correct. I must admit I liked it when he rammed his head into the turnbuckle though. Also even though I like Hatton I thought it was funny when PBF made him butt the turnbuckle lol

    Barrera certainly turned the Prince back into a toad but i have to say he is very lucky he wasn't DQ'd for that turnbuckle hit.

    Hamed slammed Caesar Soto on his head and wasnt dqd. There would have been uproar if they threw Barrera out for that anyway . Nas was always the most physically powerful in his fights and its how he made his opponents feel his strength by using his huge thighs to push em aroubnd. Barrera clearly was more powerful than Hamed and he showed teh prince that early on with the rugby tackle . 1st time nas met someone stronger than him and it set alarm bells ringing so when that didnt work he tried boxing but again he was against someone with skills far superior so he relied on his power but for the 1st time a fighter just laughed off his power. It must have been a rude awakening for Hamed that night . I bet he still has nightmares . Barrera was everything he had feared and even allah couldnt help him . No wonder he never tried to fight Barrera again .

    yeah I always felt Morales would have ko'd Naz, pity we didn't get to see it
