The Prince was mentally ruined before the Barrera fight. He had no hunger and desire to train hard which is a vital ingredient in remaining at the top of the game.

Hamed ruined his own career. As Lennox said to him after the fight - ''it's how you come back that defines a champion'', well he came back against Calvo for one fight, won a poor points verdict and that was that, his heart was broken and couldn't do it anymore.Comment

this.......im not gonna read any of hamed fans' post, im just gonna say this...
if you really believe hamed lost to barrera just because he didnt "train properly" then that dont mean **** because hamed never beat anyone worthy and had trouble beating fighters like kevin kelley ! barrera would of schooled any ***en time.Comment

No he didn't. Marco gets full credit for the win, but he beat Naz at a time where he'd already been on top for quite some time and really had nowhere to go after a loss in a big fight. See maybe Joe vs Lacy for an example of someone ruining a guy's whole career.Comment

As a fight goes, he wasn't actually "outclassed", but for Hamed, he was outclassed. Until then he was a killer, and really interesting to watch (not to listen to) with his unusual style, and his glaring off balance-out of position- punches, which all to often hit the mark, and also all too often missed, and left him badly off balance. The problem was that there had never been anyone until Barrera, who could take advantage of this.
A HUGE part of his downfall was that, as Manny Steward said once, he never trained more than a couple of weeks for any fight, just messed around, and allowed his huge ego to take control. Then again, by the time Barrera punctured his amor propre, he had so much money that he didn't care, and more or less "folded his tent and stole away" as the poet says.Comment
