Has Naseem still got it?

Absolutely I think he will be better then ever...I think we can expect him to resemble Pernell Whitaker except along with the defensive skills Naz will have amazing power.

Who the **** knows and who the **** cares.

i sure as **** dont, i hope he comes back and catches an unmerciful beating from a journeyman.

Its hard to say, I mean we can't really determine whether he has it or not until he actually gets back in the ring. I think that it will be hard for him to make any noise right away cause he will be extremely rusty and he'll have to take it slow at first.

As a boxing fan I hope Naz comes back becasue he was a great fighter with an extremly crowd-pleasing style.

If Naz comes back, I'll be rooting for him but as I said its too early too tell if he can do anything.

rumours are going around saying naseem signed with k-1 (big kickboxing org in japan)and will be fighting kaoklai (muay thai fighter)

Its well known that the power is the last thing to go. You only need to look at Tyson to see that. In fact, that is a well recognised point anyway. Most boxing trainer's know that this is the last thing to escape a fighter.

Im quietly optimistic for Naz. He is head and shoulders above anyone else in terms of my favourite fighter, and i dont think people should be doubting him. Yes he will have ring rust and his first opponents will be nobody's (i hope, for his sake). However, the dude isnt as old as people perhaps think, and i really do not see him having weight problems, stamina problems or power problems.

I predict same old Naz, with a varied style in terms of a slightly better defensive mechanism. (Mechanism being used because his last defensive ability wasnt really orthodox. It was more of his own way of doing things, so i really cannot tell what his defensive strategy will be. But i do know he will have a better one....).

Peace.

......I thought this thread was going to be about his triple chin and if he still had it.

Yeah Barrerra still has a triple chin....

Oh you meant Naz? Either way, they are probably of similar weight right now.... check the most recent pics...

No, naz answered that question years before Barrera.

When he sacked Brendan Ingle and Frank Warren......
