    naz had great potential, but like teddy atlas said "he's not good enough to do things wrong". he's got great power and speed but he's off balance. you might say sure...but how important is balance? well it's very important, it helps plant your feet for better power, it moves you into position better solidly, it helps you be more mobile...this is text book stuff that naz never really got on, and really never had to until he met barrera. i have the fight on tape and it was not close...naz even tried to get feisty and barrera went behind him and ran him toward a post.

    barrera's boxer/puncher persona went into full bloom in that fight, he was moving stepping back, countering...naz definately is themore talented and physically gifted of the two...but if i were to choose a boxing professor it'd be barrera.

          The "Prince" loses his nick name as he wakes up a zombie in the hospital. Barrera ended his career why shorten his life as well?

            i honestly believe that NAZ would have schooled Barrera in a rematch......NAZ proved to the world that he was an exceptional and a very capable fighter........all he'd need to do is couple that with the mental side, and he'd take Barrera out.

              I said that Naz sneaks into 5th place ahead of Lennox Lewis in the top five British boxers of the last 15 years, somebody ban SliqueJab with immediate effect because the guy is beyond a joke.

                  Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe and Naseem Hamed are the top five British fighters of the last 15 years.

                  You can criticise Naz all you like but how many prime Barrera's did Lewis fight? And no an ANCIENT Holyfield and an ANCIENT Tyson do not count! How many times did Naz get KTFO by mediocre opposition?

                  Lennox Lewis won his WBC title on the same fight card as Gerald McClellan winning his WBC title. Gerald was the main event, Lewis was the undercard. Benn can boast a win over McClellan that is better than anything Lewis did. Nigel also TKO'd Iran Barkley in the first round in Las Vegas, Barkley was a better lb4lb fighter than Ruddock and Golota put together.

                  Chris Eubank beat Nigel Benn, Michael Watson twice (who beat Benn), and Graciano Rocchigiani in Germany. Lewis just hasn't done that, and remember it was Eubank who left Lewis in the dark in 1994 as Sky Sports number one boxer. Lewis got KTFO by McCall at the same time Eubank was unbeaten for longer than anybody in boxing. If Eubank and Lewis walked down the street together in the UK, people would walk straight past Lewis to get to Eubank.

                  Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe are still undefeated! Ricky can boast a win over Tszyu that is better than any Lewis can boast, and we rated Calzaghe over Lewis, click here: http://sport.guardian.co.uk/boxing/s...996634,00.html

                  Who sold better on HBO? Naz or Lewis?

                      Lennox Lewis is a joke! He doesn't deserve to be near the top 10 Post-War Heavyweight's or the top 10 Post-War British fighters, although he may possibly be the best Canadian Heavyweight.
