maybe but would still have been some entertaining fights.
The documentary leading up to the Barrera showed how much nas cared when he was flying people in to get his haircut instead of going on the pads. He gave me loads of entertainment growing up though and that power was unreal for someone so small. |

I think the reason he retired was a combination of things;
He had legal troubles after he almost killed a man. He crashed a maclaren head on into a man in some tiny economy car while passing illegally into oncoming traffic. I think he was sentenced to a 15 months in prison because the guy was put into a vegetative state. I think he had some kind of religious spiritual awakening. |

he'd been fighting at the top level for years, made a small fortune, lacked motivation, had brittle hands and had a rude awakening when he realised he wasnt so good that he could beat the best fighters without giving a 100% and said **** it i dont need this ****.
His ego and his hands couldnt take it, and he had more than enough cash to never need to work again in his like |

I doubt it. Regardless of what happened the other day we have seen time and time again that Pac's chin is very tough. Nas hit barrera clean a few times and Barrera didn't budge. Morales' chin was iron - someone like Hamed couldn't damage Morales/Barrera like Pacquiao did. Yes, Hamed had more p4p power but he didn't accumulate damage like Pac.

The fact is Nas didnt take training serious anymore, his hands were brittle. However lets not kid ourselves, when the kid trained hard and was on his A game, he could be a problem for anyone, that power would break the strongest chin, he came from angles which no boxer would hit shots from and his reflexes were out of this world Barrera didnt fight the best Naz, i can say that 100%, but that isnt Barreras fault, thats Naz fault for not eating and sleeping boxing and just relying on his natural skill and power to snatch him the win. Naz had fallen out of love with boxing few fights leading up to the clash with Barrera |
