just heard a radio broadcast sayin that naz will be returning to the ring early 2005, will he be returning to his own weight or coming back at a higher one..... because what can he do in the divisions including manny MAB morales, marquez ???

i think he will have a lot of problems no matter what weight he decides to make his come back into

if he does come back he is going to have to drop the ego and admit that if he isnt the best, he still has talent, it would win the true boxing fan over more anyway

less of the show boating, more serious boxing.... what do you lot thik ???

If his return fouls up, he'll just crawl back to the hole he came from. :D Seriously, if that does happen as announced, he'll have to meet Brodie or one like Brodie to have some credibility. I doubt that Harrison's management would agree to a fight with Naz. Harrison is creeping up the world standings in terms of stardom; Naz to them is yesterday's news, unless of course the clown prince gets some kind of ligit by taking on some credible opposition first. The last time he fought was against that little fellow from Spain, was it?

Naseem can box??

...and he's too small for a middleweight. LOL

Seriously, where can he fit in?
@122 - even if he makes this weight, Guzman, Vasquez, Hussein will just bully him
@126 - There's Marquez, Pacquiao, Barrera, Chi and Harrison...the Big 3 will just spank his ass & probably Larios too
@130 - There's El Terrible, Casamayor...NO!
@135 - There's Castillo, Corrales...this is funny
@140 - There's Cotto, Tzsyu, Mayweather, Gatti...even more hahaha LOL

naaahh...he's not coming back.

this happens every few months....its like there aint enough big fights at the weights around where nas was and would be...

imo its the most exciting group of divisions and to have nas back in the mix would be good
i expect after an easy tune up fight hed want a top fight and i feel that he hasnt got what it takes to hang with the top dogs..maybe a rematch with barrera....

If nas comes back he would be in and out pretty fast :D

rumour has it he has put on a boit of weight and is being lined up as David Hayes comeback opponent :D :D :D

i think hed ko david haye no problems :D :D :D

that was a "speedy" reply and you must be a bit of a "whizz" on the pc!!!!!!! :D

yeh.... my name is anthony, so i mixed amphetamine and anth to make my dj name of anthetamine

I hope Naz can make a comeback, he's been out of the fight game a fair while now. He had tremendous talent in the ring and unbelievable handspeed and agility, alot of that may be lost now. Before he was fighting consistantly from when he was a kid, his talents were been utilised on a regular basis but now he has been inactive for the last few years i think it will have damaged what he had. We all know the Barrera fight killed his confidence, he took a beating that fight that he never thought in a million years he could experience. He thought he was untouchable and he paid the price for it. I'm glad we never saw him seriously hurt but to see him mentally hurt was painful enough for me. Alot of people say he was so full of himself and they wanted to see him lose but why would any true boxing fan want to see that? He was unique and the style he haboured was amazing. I watched his fight against Steve Robinson last night, it was on KOTV Classics. It was amazing to watch, it was about 1 in the morning and i had to get some sleep because i was working in the morning but i still stopped up and watched it all. He was a really entertaining fighter to see in action, those lunging uppercuts and those dazzling jabs and taunts were all unique. How many other fighters do you see stand in front of their opponents with their hands down and give them free shots. He was unique and if he does comeback i wish him all the best, i would never want to see him get beaten bad so if his skills are tarnished then i would rather him stay retired.

his show boating is what got him famous, you have to sell yourself. Thats why we watch him.

lol....i looked on google and you came up and also a few drug sites that were to retarded to spell it right. i mean how can they be telling you anything worth knowing if they dont even know what they talkin about.....made me laugh..
reminds me of the shane MOSLEY or MOSELY debate...i could find fights and info on him under both names lol


as for quick reply....well my typins improving although im pretty stoned and have been awake all night :cool:

Naz at his best would beat em all, are you a boxing fan, i mean do you realy believe what you wrote or was it a joke, coz it made me laugh.

ok are you serious...nas's best wasnt good enough against his 1st p4p opponent barrera , he fought one fight then just never boxed again..didnt bother to tell his fans..just left em all hanging..its been more than 3 yrs now since he last fought.

And if he cant beat barrera he aint looking good to beat jmm , pac or morales..even chi i see being too strong.

nas for me if he did come back wouldnt rise above domestic level..possibly scott harrison..possibly

ill try and find out if this is bollocks or not. (the comeback)

reverting.

ill try and find out if this is bollocks or not. (the comeback)

reverting.

its always bull****...nas is walking round looking like james toney,50dlds overweight lol

The info they got was from a recent interview with him,discussing amir khans success. He mentioned he still wants to return and will be back in early 2005..with regards to naz's boxing skills,he had the most amazing power and reflexes ive ever seen. However,he became old quick and started losing those reflexes that he heavily relied on. Ingle saw this and decided to cash out on naz before his loss which ingle his trainer for 20 yrs saw coming. He wrote a book where he mentioned personal things about naz. Naz fired him and got a new trainer which just made things worse for him.
The naz that fought barerra was only a shadow of the younger naz. If you wanna see what naz was really like watch his earlier career.
Those who think naz wouldnt beat scott harrison,wake up! look at what he did to the young medina and look what the old medina did to scott. Scott has good power but thats all.

Naz at his best would beat em all, are you a boxing fan, i mean do you realy believe what you wrote or was it a joke, coz it made me laugh.


I really believe what i just wrote and yes i thought that rumor that Naz is planning a comeback (again!) is funny...and what do I know, I'm just a boxing fan.

"Naz at his best would beat em all..." LOL now that's funny ****.

I cant see him coming back for the reasons stated previously, he wont fight again unless he believes he can win, and i cant see how he could think that, if you think that barrera gave him a right good beating, then what would pac do to him, even JMM or Morales.... they are fights i would have wanted to see, but its to late now, he will be to unfit, to slow, to unprepared

i know he was ****y as a selling point for his fights, it was somethin he done well, but he did start getting caught out in the end, kevin kelley put him on his arse twice (i think)

naz did have a broken hand in that fight but he didnt look as good against someone with talent as he made himself look against a lesser opponent

he is better suited to being a show off more than a boxer

well theres certinaly no mention of it on his (ex) promoters site.

so looks like bollox.

These talks of him coming back has been OFF and ON . . . he better stay where he is rightnow and stay retired.

This guy has talent and skills but he's more of a MEDIA BLITZ guy than a real fighter . . .he is a clown . . . he got lost in his own CRAPS and ****s . . . started believing in himself until MAB slap his silly face, beat him up . . .which ended his ARROGANCE.

He never seems to recover from that humilation he got from MAB that's why he quit. :D

for me wez i wanted to see him get beat to calm down his ego. i didn't expect it to destroy him. he was very entertaining. i think nas can come back. its all in his head. i personally never liked him. i thought he should have been in wwf instead of boxing. but he truely did have talent and i think he had a good style. problem was that he was too flashy entering the ring. i welcome anyone that wants to enter the squared circle and give us a good fight. bring it on nas!!!!

I agree with this guys thread. The man is not coming back. This is just some publicity stunt.

We need the old Nas back, just think if he was boxing still and at the same level as Marquez, Morales, Pacman and Barrera, can you imagine the exciting fights there would be. He had amazing talent, so unique we may never see it again. I'm going to watch some of his fights when i get home from work tonight now. All this talk makes me want to watch his fights. He learned alot of what he did from Herol "Bomber" Graham i think.

i agree. if nas could get the fight back in him and train he would still be a very formidable opponent and would definately bring some added excitement. unfortunately i never saw graham fight but sounds like he would have been tough to beat from the articles i have read.

Yeah Naz had power. Yeah Naz has speed. But it terms of skill? Not in my opinion. MAB showed that. Put him in a brawler, he has a chance. Put him with a well balanced and skilled boxer, no way. He had no remarkable defence, and had awful balance. He can leap good alright but that's all I give him. For someone with his arrogance, considering the raw boxing skills that he lacked, yeah it was entertaining. That's as far as it goes.

iN terms of bringing in excitement to the sports . . . I would agree that we need Naz BACK . . . but that is only if he can still compete in the same level of the fighters you have mentioned.

Naz couldnt really compete b4
how can he compete now thats hes left
especially since everyones attention is on the division
the level has risen to high for hamed
he can still server for some good laughs

you really miss his circus entrances and leopard trunks ;)

Hagler left boxing after a defeat, and so did Naz. The difference between the two is that Hagler's exit came after a controversial loss (many, very many, thought and still think he beat Leonard); Hamed's, after a beating in the hands of Barrera. Naz was exciting; he went against the grain, was unpredictable and tried to re-write the book-- he threw punches that defied general conceptions of how punches should be thrown, took defensive moves that appaled trainers, etc. His great reflexes and talent allowed him to "experiment" and succeed; his successes fed his ego and made him the type of character he was, off and on the ring. Does the already exciting featherweight division need a character like Naz? I don't think it NEEDS Naz. But if Hamed comes out to play, it would have some use for him, provided that the Naz that emerges from his hole is hale,hearty and with well-honed skills; eager to prove his worth by engaging credible opposition before meeting the division's elite; not necessarily in his first outing, but, sometime before he goes up to challenge a Morales, a Barrera or a Pacquiao. Same thing if he comes out to fight at any other weight class. He should prove that what he shall bring to the big fights is beyond pre-fight and post-fight showbiz. Caveat: More often than not, come-backing fighters do not live up to fans' expectations. In Naz case, all we could be getting from the re-emergent Naz may be the the over-the-ring-ropes flip of an entrance. :)

i wanna see naseem hamed vs willie jorrin and watch nas get a taste of tha canvas cuz jorrin will knock his ass out
it would be a good fight for both of them

...if I'm not mistaken, you're the guy who trains with Jorrin, right? Naseem against Jorrin at 130 for his 1st serious fight after a long lay-off? hmmmm, sounds interesting...fantasy fight LOL :D

As much as I hope Naz comes back to spice up an already lively featherweight division, I just dont see it happening. Prince was very entertaining but he was also very smart as a bussiness man- when he looks at this featherweight division and sees that it has only gotten better since he checked out, well I think it will be an easy decision...

If he was a smart business man, then he would still be fighting, if he looses the fights fair enough, he would not be as highly looked upon as once upon a time, however from a business point of view, a comeback fight against a no one and then maybe even one against chi, marquez or pac would earn him some serious money


does anyone know what type of money he was getting for his fights ???? was he on more or less than barrera for their clash

Nas can box??? ....at the same level as Marquez, Morales, Pacman and Barrera???

you really miss his circus entrances and leopard trunks ;)

Yeah Naz can box and he did it very well. He was a world class fighter who fought at domestic level too long like most British fighters. He was unique and brought something different to the ring. He could hold his hands down and weave in front of you. He was the Roy Jones of the lower weight divisions talent wise. Nate Campbell tried his own showboating by keeping his hands down and what happened to him??? :D He got put on his ass and counted out, normal fighters can't do stuff like that. I still laugh when i think of poor old Nate Campbell, what a fool. :cool:

the reason british fighters generally box on a domestic level is because american promoters dont want some of them, if scott harrison was mexican he would probably be pushing for his own PPV fights now

instead they stay at home and get no credit for doing so, when they do fight else where they get a shock infront of an away crowd and get a shock against a world class opponent like naseem did against barrera

Mistake :o

Too true and it's a shame, we have some good talent in the UK. I have a feeling the same will happen to the likes of Ricky when he finally steps up. It was sad to see Naz get beaten by Barrera because he beat him mentally and that was the worst way to see Naz lose. I don't know why some American promoters don't sign up our good talent.

i totally agree with you there, i personally loved naz, well, loved to watch him box, didnt like the ego or the entrances

joe calzaghe will be folowing the same suit, ricky hatton and scott harrison

i wouild mention audley harrison, but its a waste of energy typing in anything about him

Do you know what? It's sad to admit as a Englishman but your right, i can see all of our fighters coming short when it counts because of been drowned in domestic experience too long.

:D By the way it is a waste of energy talking about Audley at the moment but i do hope he does do well but i cannot see it at the moment. I don't trust his chin.

i want to see him do good aswell mate, he's the only british hope in the heavyweights, and no im not counting danny williams as a hope, he's going to get his lesson taught to him when he meets VK

i dont trust his chin either but i do believe in his ability, he may be a boaring fighter but he does control the pace of fights well, i think that he will step it up this coming year, if he doesnt then......

he can remain fighting on bbc

Yeah, what a fool indeed! Add to that his amazing nickname......."The Galaxy Warrior" ;)

just imagine the KD again, then his nickname...bwahahaha LOL :D

:) Do you know what, i really hope Danny Williams causes another upset and beats Vitali. It could happen, who gave him a chance against Tyson? Very few people did, Danny gets himself motivated when it counts. He is another British boxer who got stuck in a time warp or something, he never seemed to get completely motivated for fights until Tyson.
I hope Audley steps up his fighting, he has got ability i agree but not on a spectacular level. However saying that i think his skills in a year or so will enable him to be able to compete with our World Chmapions such as Lamon Brewster and John Ruiz.

Yeah, what a fool indeed! Add to that his amazing nickname......."The Galaxy Warrior" ;)

just imagine the KD again, then his nickname...bwahahaha LOL :D

:D Yeah, the sad thing about Nate is that he has talent and then he does a dumb thing like that. I cannot understand some fighters at all.

:eek: Tell me you didn't just compare Nassim Hamed against Roy Jones :eek:

what tha hell he quit cuz of one loss?
losing is part of tha sport and to be a great champ u gotta accept u lost and thats when u learn from it

what tha hell he quit cuz of one loss?
losing is part of tha sport and to be a great champ u gotta accept u lost and thats when u learn from it

It's the way he lost that hurt him. He got wooped, prolly won 1 round. When all yer career you think you are the best and then one day someone flat out proves you wrong in your face, it's hard to swallow.

:eek: Tell me you didn't just compare Nassim Hamed against Roy Jones :eek:

I was comparing him to Roy Jones talent wise. Naseem in the lower weight division had unbelievable skills just like Roy. He had natural talent 100% and thats why i compared him to Roy because he had a very unique style.

I can't say that Naz was the lower weight's equivalent of Roy Jones. Roy dominated three weight categories and faced/ defeated a Hopkins and every pretender in those weight classes worth his time. Naz met only one world-class beater (the others he faced were way passst their prime and were matched with Naz for that obvious reason, including Medina who was beaten twice by Luisito Espinosa), then quit. One can argue til the Second Coming (of course, not of Naz) about what could have been had The Prince picked himself up after his defeat in the hands of Barrera. Yes, he may/could have shown the world the kind of stuff he had. But all he has managed to show by quiting is the kind of man he is.

While I consider myself a fan of Roy, I am uncomfortable with his choice of opponent in Johnson for his post-first-loss appearance. He should have done what Tito is doing: meeting a Mayorga for his comeback fight. We've heard the wise counsel: "Pick yourself up where you've fallen". While Tito, admitedly, is not EXACTLY doing that because he is not facing Hopkins, he comes closest; Jones and many other top fighters appear to consider themselves special exceptions. JMMarquez decided to meet Salido instead of Pacquiao after a draw. :( Is it because they're smarter? After Mando Ramos lost to Teo Cruz in a lightweight championship match, his next opponent was the same Teo Cruz! How many times did Pep and Saddler meet without facing bums between meetings? Louis-Schmelling!?! Raging Bull-Robinson? Ahh, those were the days! :( ;)
