Prince naz returns ????

[mr. bojangles]

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.

...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

[NiGe2011]

As much as I hope Naz comes back to ****e 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...

[anthetamine]

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

[Dark Destroyer]

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??? 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.

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

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.
