My tribute to Naazim Richardson

[ßringer]

I agree. I know what I'm about to say isn't obviously at his level, but I felt that Shane Mosley reminded me of Sugar Ray Robinson tonight. The older version I've seen on flim anyway. I think Robinson was a better fighter then Shane, but the way he fought with amazing hand speed, a wicked right, and fluidness reminded me of Sugar Ray.

Brilliant performance by Shane Mosley, who I clearly underestimated.

I wouldn't go that far, not that you're comparing the two. But it's cool if he reminded you of Robinson, we all see things differently.

What I will say, is that until tonight, I always thought Mosley was undeserving of the nickname "Sugar". Due in large part to the greatness of the 2 most famous men who took the name before.

I feel he earned it tonight.....and he totally ruined my chances of labelling him "Splenda" Shane Mosley............

Let's not get carried away guys. Shane definitely pulled off a marquee performance and Naazim is the **** but SRR?? srsly!?! Shane WAS after all basically facing a sitting target who barely knows how to defend or move side to side, and he still only landed 35A% of his punches. Shane is the ****, but he ain't ****in wit Srr

He wasn't comparing the two, he said Robinson was the far greater fighter.

He just said Mosley's performance tonight reminded him of Robinson.

I agree with that he shouldn't be compared to the likes of them, but just the way he exploded into combos and his right hand reminds me of it. Not a close to prime or a prime Robinson, but the older version who fought Basilio and Graziano.

The right hand Robinson knocked Graziano out with reminded me of Shane's a lot.

In honor of Richardson's spotting of Margarito's illegal wraps tonight, and always going above and beyond to ensure his fighter's safety.

Feel free to sig it, use it as an avatar, whatever. Show some love for Naazim.

I could not agree with you more, tonight he showed he protects his fighters and he had the perfect gameplan to beat el cheato Margarito.

Naz is underrated because he is best known for training Hopkins and Hopkins alone. dude should definitely start training some more up-and-coming fighters

Yup, we need more trainers like Naazim in this sport to look out for their fighters. Too many trainers are more concerned with the business part of things, than what actually happens in the ring.

BUMP for T-97 and the newcomers.

Is he Sunni ****** or NOI??? Anyone know

Naazim def is the man. Margarito was tailor-made for someone like Shane but Naazim gives great advice in the corner.
