When he was fighting he was superbly overated, he was considered maybe the best pound for pound fighter at the time, He was a very very big favorite against Barrera, he was given contracts to video games because he was so well known as a extremely good boxer when even Mayweather ,Morales ,Barrera ,Trinidad couldnt get a video game named after them. People were saying he was gonna be the Mexican Assassin. He was overated when he was fighting.
No ****in way is NAZ over rated, infact he's very under rated, people under rate him based on Barrera fight, but heck if you put Barrera in there with a Prince who was properly prepared Barrera wouldnt of come out of there in good health to put it politely.
on Natural Born Thriller VHS it shows NAZs destruction of Belcastro and it ranks as high as anything I've seen I mean Belcastro was a world class operator whereas NAZ was just a novice at the time and the Prince was not even hit flush one time in that fight whereas he was landing at will from angles you would never dream of seeing. I would definately pick the Prince who fought Belcastro over any bantamweight I've seen.
He was absolute garbage did you see him against a washed up kevin kelley? I'm from Ireland but I had never seen this fool muchonly highlights until about 97. knocked down about 10 times by kelley and could hardly land on washed up kelley and that was his best win
I was never impressed with him and knew he would be picked apart easily if he ever thought a world class fighter and how right i was. he just bounced around throwing terrible punches but he got away with being so poor because he had so much power.
marco antonio barrera was a good choice to destroy the prince nazeem myth, a classy mexican warrior.
I hope nazeem cmes back, so he can get owned again.
Dude, if you want to see over-rated look at Michael Grant. Hamed v Kelley was a great fight that took alot out of both fighters. The Prince has been out of action for awhile now....Let it go!!
I remember this KO over Augie Sanchez... It was brutal!
Sanchez left the ring on a stretcher!
He had Augie beat before they even stepped a foot in the ring. At the weigh in he told Augie that he looked nervous, then winked at him and said something like 'don't worry Augie I won't hurt you too bad'.
He was right, Augie only left the ring on a stretcher, he walked out of the hospital.
