Prime Naseem Hamed vs Prime Marco Anthonio Barerra

[IMDAZED]

First off all im not a Naz fan as it may come across,
im a realist.
Look at naz when he fought the likes of Steve Robinson, Alicea, Medina etc.
Okay maybe they werent top fighters but were champions and contenders and he destroyed them,
everyone uses the fact that the divison was weak around the time naz was dominating and i dont think he will ever get the credit he deserves,
the naz that fought those guys would have destroyed barerra.
Barerra kept very quiet around this time as did junior jones and morales,
who Naz constantly called out.
Barerra aint a ****** bloke and i know he aint no ***** but maybe just like anyone else who followed Hameds career knew he would sharply go on the down after the fight with Mc Cullough when him and Ingle Split.
It amazes me how people like yourself and other posters on here cant even think about this,
I dont think you guys like him as do many other people and most of the posters on here who say barerra would whip him either way in the next breathe say "i was delighted barerra beat him."

Did it ever occur to you that maybe Naseem stopped looking so good because he started fighting better fighters? Doesn't that make more sense than this notion that he began slipping at age 22? Well I guess if you want to blind yourself then no, it doesn't.

[Abstraction]

a fighters prime has everything to do with his age. you dont see a prime fighter in their 40's now do you? barrera was just too much for little nasseem to handle. no excuses



hamed i reckon was at his absolute best againts barrera. it was his biggest fight, he had to be in his best... we all know what happened next

Sorry mate, you don't know what you're talking about.

Physical peak has nothing to do with Boxing peak.

Look at Tyson.
Post Prison he was at his physical peak. But his Boxing skills (or a lack of) were a joke.

He was bareley even a shadow of his former self.

Naseem was at his best against Barrera? Are you having a wind up?

I guess the people who voted for barrera are kids who have never seen Nas fight except for that against barrera.

It was quite well known what was happening in Naz's career once Ingle was sacked,
The dude couldn't give a damn, and had a loss waiting to happen.

Why do you think he never even bothered to "officially retire"?

[KESSLER]

Barrera whoops his ass.

No point in tryna make an arrogant ****** who cant see passed there own opinon see sense,
he didnt start fighting better fighters!
Bungu was one of the best fighters he went up against and he knocked him out towards the end of his career,
a man who had never even been put on his back before.

Fights that Naz had Steward and Oscar in his Corner-

Paul Ingle- Ingle outboxed him and exposed him and gave him serious trouble in the later rounds and in my opinon was ahead on points,
Naz lands his knockout punch Over
Cesar Soto-A Wrestling Match, again a bad display from Naz but won it on points
Vuyani Bungu-A dangerous come forward fighter who had never been put down,
Naz restores his luster from the last few fights and KO's him in the 4th round.
Once again shuffling Naz's head further up his arse.
Augie Sanchez-Pretty much a nobody but had a decent Amateur Career. Gave Naz trouble Corner punching and put him down twice,
Again Augie took the first 3 rounds until Naz landed another lethal blow and **** Augie stretchered out.

Naz got too up his own arse about his power and it was his life saver in the last four-five fights he had on the way upto the barerra fight,
in all the interview prior to the barerra fight in constantly said "im gonna knock em out!"
He believed he got this unbelivable power from Allah and no one could beat him,
he went thinkin it would KO barerra no problem,
he didnt train much for the fight nor did he spar much, which is the reason himself and manny fell out.
He believed he could beat anyone with that KO punch that he couldnt hit barerra with.
What i am tryna say is the Naz who was with Ingle,
the Naz that BOXED and if he got the KO fine,
would of beating Barerra

That was Prime Hamed.

Only on paper. In age. That wasn't a well-prepared Hamed near the best of his abilities, though.

Too bad not too many people agree with you. LOL @ Hamed EVER beating a prime ATG like Barrera.

[BOOMbip]

The up coming Amir Khan bout has our British contingency all jacked up on goof balls.


I feel a horrible devastating K.O coming...Then it's back under the radar.

Seriously, who do you think you're fooling? You started this bull**** on another thread - wasn't pleased when everyone disagreed with you, then create this thread and, what a surprise, the majority of boxing fans don't agree with you again! Maybe it's time to step back and yourself who's the one who knows nothing.

Anyway, you asked the question and put up a poll. Satisfied?
