Naseem vs. Barrera II - what would have happened?

[MetalVomit]

I reckon Hamed could have beaten Barrera if he'd have sorted his head out... But by that stage of his career he'd already earned £30 million, ($55 million U.S.) and like "Foreman?" said - "It's hard to get up at 6:00a.m. to do road work when you're wearing silk PJ's"... - Who was it that said that?

Anyway, in the Hamed vs. Barrera fight, it's not as if Hamed got beaten up or anything. He was trying to take Barrera's head off with haymakers towards the end because he had no back up plan.

It's not like Barrera did a (Hopkins/Trinidad or Tszyu/Judah) to Hamed.

Yeah, it was more like a (Winky/Trinidad) that he did to Hamed. If Barrera can't make excuses for the Pacman loss, Hamed cannot either. He was defeated EASILY by the SUPERIOR boxer, and it would have been just as easy for Barrera in a rematch.

According to Emanuel Steward, he only worked with the Prince about 5 or 6 times..

Barrera exposed him and would knock him out next time..

I heard lots of different stories... I heard he was talked out of it, 9/11 stopped it...

Forget all of the talk, If Naz wanted the rematch it would have been made simple as that. Again I dont understand how it could be any clearer, Prince did not want to fight and you can only draw one conclusion from that...he did not think he could beat Barerra.

Maybe all of the Naz fans out there think he could have done better or he could have won the second time around but I dont care what the NAa fans have to say, I listended to Naz himself and he said loud and clear..."I cant win."

Why dont you believe him?

Barrera would have put more leather on Hamed in the rematch, Barrera was cautious that night, but after he saw how easy Barrera was outboxed, outpunched, and even out roughoused, he would have been more aggressive, more confident, and thus his reflexes would have been better in the rematch and Hamed would have probably gone down more than once if not stopped.

Actually for all ya Nas nuthuggers, I'm being modest here. I've rooted for Nas on that fight but after what I saw and after Barrera put a clinic, Nas actually went back to where he belong. It was one side affair and Nas was the bride. ha ha ha ha. All that hype about that guy, it ended he was nothing better but a clown. And JuyJuy actually thought he was one of the greatest UK boxer, that's another clown. You British idiots be better stop clowning. ha ha ha ha

Nas Was Great Before He Fought Barrera He Just Lost His Hunger, His Head Was Too Big His Enterences Were To Big And His Heart Was Too Small, You Can Always Tell A Great Fighter By The Way He Handles His First Loss And Obviously Naseem Couldnt Handle It He Is Not And Will Never Be Considered A Great Fighter, Dont Get Me Wrong He Was Fast Skilled And Had Some Pretty Good Power But He Didnt Have It Inside To Go For The Long Haul! I Like You Naseem But You Should Be In A Fight Against David Reid Another Fighter Like Yourself All Skill But No Heart!

David Reid has no heart?????

Did you watch his fight with Tito, it was an act of god that he made it to the bell...**** what the hell are you taking about....Reid entered every fight he was ever in with an eye half closed...the guy showed enough heart for me in the Tito fight alone...

David Reid, no heart...rocco, no brain.

can u get me that quoet?

[scap]

can u get me that quoet?

You dont need the quote all you have to do is ask yourself this...Did the remtach take place, yes or no...

Obviously the remtach did not take place and there is one person to blame, not promoters, not MAB...yup you guessed it your boy Naz...he didnt want to fight and if he thought he could beat MAB the second time around we wouldnt be talking about what would have happened we would already know...

Naz told us loud and clear, "I cant beat Barerra" Go ahead and tell yourself that he just lost the hunger to fight or some other excuse, you need not search for an answer it is right in front of your face...plain and simple...you may have wanted Naz to get another crack at Barerra but Naz didnt.

Naz struggles and is up and down like a yoyo against club fighter Augie Sanchez, thats right club fighter.

Naz struggles and is up and down like a yoyo against way past his prime Kevin Kelley, thats right way past his prime.

Naz finally takes the step up in class the whole world has been waiting for and he is exposed, thats right exposed.

Naz gets the picture and retires...his fans keep asking what if, what if, what if...you guys should be happy he quit, at least you can still play the what if game, had he of continued and fought real opposition like MAB there would be no what ifs coming from his faithful.
