Anyone tell me anything about this dude?

I think it was hard for him to live up to the acclaim of supposedly being the best boxer in the world.
I dont think he thought he could live up to what he made himself out to be.

Well no one ever thought he was the best even when he did.

I remember reading an interview with him where he was asked if he thought he was the best p4p boxer in the world. And he replied i think im one of them.

That is when i think he doubted that he was the best. Because early in his career he would boast he thought he was the best.

That's because early in his career he was beating up on a lot of mediocre opponents. Once he started stepping up the competition he probably realized he wasn't at the level he thought he was. Nonetheless he really was an excellent fighter in his prime.

Yes he was exciting and i personally thought he was the best fighter in the world at one point. But i was biased. I was a fan i suppose.

You sure were because he definitely wasn't that...ever . But Top 10-15? sure.

Naz knocked the *** out of every Yank he faced....

Too bad he didn't face any good ones that still had something left. He could have faced Floyd and Diego Corrales at 130. Both wanted a piece of him and were willing to go down to his weight class.

Naz knew better. Corrales would have actually ko'd him worse than Floyd would have.

Sad, he would've still being a factor at featherweight, he would've fought Morales or JMM and make some interesting fights there, or a move up in weight but no retire he wasn't shot or anything like it.

marco antonio barerra did alot of damage to the syche of the prince naseem hamed who thought he was unbeatable and the prince ended up losing his desire to keep boxing and himself had made a ton of money from hbo
