Who was more of a wasted talent

[starjammer]

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.

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. 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?

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.

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.

He did knock out spinks though. Something Taylor couldn't do.

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!

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.

Talent wise Judah ****s on Naz

[GJC]

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.
