As hated as he was, he was pretty exciting. If he does come back, which i seriously doubt, Then he can hardly tarnish the rep he had, as that was already mutilated by the babyface assassin!
Sorry, Wayne McCullough. I originally put Wayne down, but then deleted it in place of Magee.
You can't run from Erik Morales. He's like a prize fighter, walks forward more than he dances (see also Micky Ward). No matter how much Naz danced or dodged Morales would have had him. Most fighters of that weight would have gone down from the bombs thrown in Morales - Barrera I; see also Gatti - Ward III.

Wayne McCullough got taken to school for 12 rounds.
And if Erik Morales walked forward like you say he would suffer the same fate as what Wayne did, when he tried that tactic. Eating leather all night.
He never fought Eamon Magee, and Naz wouldnt need to take half of those bombs because his style was completely seperate... elusive.

I reckon both Morales and Pac would have beaten Naz. I saw every one of Naz's major fights, and he was troubled loads by even average guys (Daniel Alicea put him on the floor, Manuel Medina - though not average - troubled him loads, Eammonn Magee troubled him). Barrera just took the piss basically, walked forward while Naz walked back, took every shitty Ali-like jab Naz gave him, and just fought to an easy victory.
Watch Barrera - Morales I and ask yourself - Would Naz have stood up to half the bombs that pair threw at each other?

i wish naz could have hung around alittle more so we could have seen him vs Morales and Pacman.

naseem was never knighted lol, he had one of the lower awards, OBE i think, and that might have been rescinded since he put some guy in a wheelchair for the rest of his life by driving head on into him at 100+mph.
Khan is running the risk of going down the same road so to speak. He's been done for speeding and knocking someone down already - polite twat that he is.
For the short time he was around, I think Naz was a better showman than Macho Camacho.
Smaller, but with much more power and big sattelite dish ears.
He had and probably still has a huge fan base in the UK despite having to give back his knighthood patch.
His wild swinging and hopping style was highly entertaining to watch, but Barrera had to put a damper on it.
what a bummer. Boxing needs another Naz. :boxing:
didnt know he was a knight ...why did he give it back and why was he in jail?

Maybe another fighter with that type of style, but not that attitude. He was a complete dick.
Licking his wounds...

LOL. Even though I wasn't a big fan of his and loved it when Barrera exposed him I wish he was still around. He created a buzz and if he were still fighting there would be some very interesting fights that he could have been in.
True. I didn't like him at all, I remember the day Barrera beat him. I was just wondering if he'd dare to make a come back. He never wanted the rematch. I would like to see him owned once more.
