    Yes prime NAZ. I still think Naz would have beat Barrera if they rematched after the fight. I was dissapointed he quit boxing after this i still think he had plenty to give.

        Manny Steward (his trainer for the MAB fight) even said his preparation was terrible
        nas didnt quit boxing cuz he lost interest it's because his punches were too strong for his fist to with stand. true story!

          If u dont train properly u are not at ur best, and hadnt been for a while. Therefore he was past his prime in terms of mental focus and attitude.

            I have to laugh at people who make excuses for Naseem. He was the favorite going into that fight, was undefeated and was considered one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. A very tough style match up for MAB when you think about it.

            If you want to say that he wasn't mentally of physically prepared for this fight, then that isn't an excuse either because one of the things that makes a fighter great is his mental toughness and work ethic.

            If Hamed wasn't mentally ready or was buying into the hype that was given to him, that just shows mental weakness on his part and further shows he was overrated.

            If they fight 10 times, Barrera beats him 10 times.

              I can't rememebr my score but it was like a 12 round UD

              Naz really wasn't into it.

              Please watch Big fight Little prince on youtube. It's about 1 hour but it was just before the Barrera fight.

                Naseems arrogance was his downfall,he prepared poorly for Barrera,thought he was going to walk through him and got what he deserved for it. To say Naz wasnt an elite level fighter though is ridiculous.

                  I don't know if he was in his prime but he was still close to it. Barrera was just that good, he had the hunger, fire, and desire, Hamed believed everything his fans were saying. He kinda reminds me of roy, fighting bums his whole career until he meets some real competition and gets ****ed up because of the hype. For you Amir Khan fans you guys need to get ahold of that dude before he turns out like Hamed, dude beats Malignaggi and thinks he's king of the world.

                    You really believe that? Barrera was way way past his prime and should'nt of even been in the ring, and winning because of a headbutt? That's revenge? You really need to get some knowledge of the sport before posting. How new are you to boxing?
