Nah, he had the power to spark some of those fighters out.
OP, his hands used to swell up like balloons after fights, couldn't continue.
Dude he would get spanked by all. Look at Malignaggi after every fight he ends up with busted hands as well and he continues to fight. I have to agree with what Owned said, Nas was just not willing to put in the hard work anymore and he realized that without putting in the work he wasn't going to last fighting the big names in boxing. He had money and fame and it was an easier decision for him to quit boxing.
Barrera took his soul
Basically. Anybody who has seen Hamed's very last (Calvo) fight can attest. Everything was gone after Barrera got finished with him. The fast twitch reflexes, the awesome power... The confidence. The strongest force in any athlete is their power of belief. Hamed's was erased in a single fight.
whats that got to do with anything you bloody moron, what are u even talking about lmao
his wife is white by the way
Haha I was thinking the exact same thing.
Very stupid statement.
When he got beat by Barrera it destroyed him. He thought he was the best boxer to ever lace them up.His whole image inside and outside his head was blown.
It's complete nonsense to say that he could not be bothered training, or he was rich enough, or his hands were all over. The fact is he fought a great fighter and came up short. He was not as good as he thought he was. When he stepped up and fought better fighters he struggled, then he fought an elite fighter and got beat.
It was clear when he left ingle fame had gotten to his head,
His last few fights he had bad training camps and struggled to make weight alot of the time,
His ego became so big that he neglected training, he thought he could literally go out and ko whoever he wanted whenever he wanted therefore preparing for 12 rounds didn't make sense to him.
He defiantly did struggle with his hands, he broke them in most fights due to the power he was generating.
He also started making alot of money outside of boxing and still does to this day as he invested alot of money into oil in Yemen (his native country.)
He didn't want to fight anymore, the fight leading up to and including Barrera he wasn't interested in training and thought he could just go in and hurt them with one shot. I think he realised he couldn't compete with the best without giving his all in training, he didn't have the desire to do it so retired. It's a shame imagine a fully motivated Nas against Pacquiao, Morales, JMM, Barrera. We missed out on a lot of good fights.
This right here. He simply didn't want to do it any more and go to the next level of training that was required to beat those top guys.
He made a lot of money and was very famous. Losing that 0 affected his over all aura comming into future fights
This is in no way a racist comment , but in my country we have alot of refuges from muslim countries.
Many of them have what I would call a inflated ego, it has something to do with there opbringing, where musil boys gets no rules and musil girls get very strict roles.
What that means is that the boys ither think there are Gods or the completly lose there beleife in them self.
The parents dont teach that with hard work and dedication comes succes, instead the get thourgt that the are prince and better the all other people.
It has something to do with the husband not being part of the upbringing.
Its not all muslims that are like that, but many musilm boys frm the middeleast get that type of upbringing that makes no sense at all, that is probably the worst comment I have seen in history.

Probably the most ignorant thing you said was when you thought Muslim countries had a particular race...
On topic, Naz's retirement was probably due to a few factors, the loss may have affected him psychologically, his hands (understandably) mustve been a problem for someone who hit as hard as him, as others said he'd fallen out of love with training for a few fights, and also lets not forget he was (and still is i believe) a rich mofo. He didnt need to fight for money anymore and he had a family.
A combination of these probably led him to retire young. Amazing career while it lasted though. Will never tire of watching his highlight reels.
Nas had a chance to take out Morales, he wasnt ready for Barrera though
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
Whether or not Barrera fought the best Naz is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is when Naz hit Barrera clean nothing happened. He might be able to knock Barrera out but I still suspect Barrera would outbox any version of the prince tbh. Just a much smarter boxer overall and much better skilled.
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.

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
