Who was more of a wasted talent

'Prince' Naseem Hamed

Naz was a bigger wasted talent, he should never got into the ring with barrera with the attitude he had towards boxing! I dunno why someone didnt fcukin say it to him! Judah has some crazy skills and he is very fast, just cant concentrate which is a pity

Cotto was out on his feet against Zab. And he quits when it gets tough. He landed 17 (yes I counted) low blows against Margarito but because Marg has no balls he was unaffected. When he cant cheat to win he quits like a lil bitch. Zab >>>>>>>> Quitto anyday of the week. You seriously, seriously over-rate Zab Judah

Naz for me. Think Zab did as much as he could but think Naz could have gone further if he had kept the love and also worked on his faults.

This thread shows up every 9 to 12 months (in different varients), and my answer is always the same. Corrie Sanders was THE biggest waste of talent and potential I can think of in the history of boxing.

You said because Barrera beat Naz that he wouldnt be able to hang with John and Juarez.........this makes no sense. John and especially Juarez are nowhere near the level of that Barerra. JMM, Morales, Manny......maybe but John and Juarez? Also styles make fights, I think Naz could've had a lot more success against Morales and Manny at feather/super feather. Didn't John beat JMM though? Yes John did beat JMM and Juarez got a draw vs John thats y i dont see i so laughable for either to get the win, i know styles make fights but John is a great BOXER and Juarez at least stand a punchers shot as well. I dont doubt Naz would of been a A class fighter. I never said who was the biggest waste of talent i just agreed with him being an overachiever and Judah being an underachiever. Naz is deff the biggest waste of talent because he just left the sport you cant waste it anyworse than that!

at least when zab loses he keeps trying to fight the best. kostya, spinks, mayweather, cotto, clottey .its gotta be embarrassing losing every single fight. he's not wasting his talent he's just not good enough to beat these other really good fighters. naz only fought one really good fighter and then gave up to eat for a living. He did knock out spinks though. Something Taylor couldn't do.

Naseem was 10X the fighter Judah would ever be. It's such a shame he lost all love for the sport. The man was the undisputed FW champ. He was also one of the biggest P4P punchers in history. He had speed, stamina, reflexes and an granite chin. It's a shame he retired, because Steward says Naz didn't even train for the Barerra fight, and thought Barerra would just walk into his shots. I honestly believe he could have beaten other fighters as well as Barerra in a rematch if he actually trained with the same hunger and intensity he used to in the mid 90s.

why are Juarez and John laughable? You said because Barrera beat Naz that he wouldnt be able to hang with John and Juarez.........this makes no sense.

Naz is the wasted talent. He had more fights in him. Zab used all of his talent and couldn't cut it against the best. Plus he couldn't take defeat like a man.

No not really. LOL@ Juarez and John by the way. Styles make fights, Naz losing to Barrera doesnt mean he couldnt hang with those guys. Remember that was an unfocused Naz against Barrera and it wasnt a complete schooling as some tend to say. Naz had the skill and the big fights left to become a great. Judah tested his skills against the best several times and failed so perhaps that was his level. why are Juarez and John laughable?

Zab was just physically overpowered at Welterweight. His other loss to Mayweather was a close one against the best fighter in the game. And he gave Floyd his best fight to date.

I understand where ur commin from but i just didnt see Naz hangin in there with Barrera obviously then think whos left Morales, JMM, Juarez, Paquiao, John i dont see him beating any of them thus what he did and the level he got too to me was overachieving..does that make sense to u?

It's not over for Zab quite yet. We still have the chance to see whether he can breathe new life into his career at 140.

I knew the answer was Zab before I clicked on the thread.

Because Naz only really had one big fight and couldve had several more mega fights, fought for more titles, in different divsions etc. Hence he underachieved. Judah had several big fights and failed in all of them. Maybe he underachieved as well but not to the same extent. Maybe he just wasnt good enough.

Y doesnt that make sense...makes perfect sense to me and i agree Because Naz only really had one big fight and couldve had several more mega fights, fought for more titles, in different divsions etc. Hence he underachieved. Judah had several big fights and failed in all of them. Maybe he underachieved as well but not to the same extent. Maybe he just wasnt good enough.

Not so much in achievements wise but i'd say Naz because we all know he was capable of a fuking whole lot more.... He got rich and got fat and the hunger went
