I think some of the most popular boxers (Trinidad, Tyson, Hammed, DLH, ect...) are popular cause they are fun to watch, cause their personalities, and love of life outside of boxing wont ever let them commet to boxing 100% percent. He was too much of a free spirit, as to Hopkins, who allways has his A game on, cause he lives and breathes boxing.Last edited by IwatchBoxing; 06-04-2005, 01:23 PM.Comment

how is it ridiculous to say he was past his prime???
of course he was, he wasnt training, he was messing with his original style, he wasnt prepared, motivated and he didnt perform...theres always a risk that success goes to a boxers head and it did. if he had accepted his loss, gone back to ingle and really worked hard he could easily have gone back to his old victorious ways
no disrespect to barrera who is an incredible incredible boxer who was clearly stronger on the nightComment

Hamed was good to watch, i never hated him or liked him to much. I always watched his fights to see his ridiclous style and his entrances. I duno about him beating JMM, would be a good fight though I think because its the classic match of a boxer vs a puncher but in this case a very un orthodox puncher.Comment

Originally posted by as214This would have been a great matchup.. My gut tells me that JMM would have countered the hell out of Nas.. But then again, I dont think Nas would have been as tentative aginst JMM as he was against Barerra ..for he respected Barerras power more. Is it possible that Nas drops JMM as he would be more free swinging for less fear of getting hurt, or does he easily get outboxed?
Let's say they had met though, at the time JMM wanted that fight. The outcome would have been exactly the way both JMM and Naseem figured it would be ..... a unanimous decision boxing lesson.Comment
