How good Naseem was?

he certainly wasn't a bum.

he had great natural abilities, but the thing was he was too ****y and arrogant, he stopped training properly when his ego got out of control, he barely trained at all for the barerra fight you know.

great power...............................wasnt a mental giant though......he was prety good

If he was beaten by Barrera he must have been a bum.

All i see about him was a video that he got schooled by barera. this defeat was so impressive that i'm thinking him as a bum.am i treating him rightly? does he deserve more evaluation?

Judging a fighter by his loss is a great way to evaluate a fighter. No need to evaluate any further.

He was one of the best fighters in the world when he was around so let that be his judge.
But as we all know....in boxing once you lose you become a nobody, a has been and nothing, unless you comeback and show us what you can do! He didnt, so to many people wont give him the time of day.

He was not as good as fighters like Barrera and Morales. Wayne Mccullough said Morales was a harder puncher.

Barrera was absolute prime for that fight. Hamed wasn't hungry. He wasn't taking boxing seriously.

Against a prime MAB, you're as good as done unless you train like your life depended on winning.

that was barrera's first fight at 126 as well(besides a tune-up a couple years prior)
