    Give me 2 examples (at minimum) of when Naz had to go away and come back ala Castillo, to make the weight. That would be .... never.You asking me for examples without having any yourself.

    He always made the weight, and first time round. His frame wasnt massive, and he was a decent athlete so he never found it hard.Never said he had to be weighed more than once. He made the weight, but reports at the time said he had trouble.
    And in his own words he never found it hard, nor worried about making weight. He worried about his hair more to be quite honest.
    In his own words he also said he would never be knocked down.

    Lack of height and reach will cause him major problems. How about no. Do you want me to go and get you some pictures of the "Tale Of The Tape's" and show you those then show you the outcome? In some fights he had a 9-10 inch reach disadvantage and still outboxed outjabbed and outcountered his opponent.

    Bigger fighters will find him easier to hit. Wake up. The agile fighters couldnt hit him.
    Really? They couldnt even hit him! Kelly snapped his head back with jabs, as did Barrera.
    Now you are trying to tell me that John Ruiz would hit him more than them? I simply disagree.....
    Use your brain. Im talking about super feather and Lightwieghts, who are fast, and stronger than Naz.

    About being put down you mentioned. Daniel Alicea, Kevin Kelley and Augie Sanchez. Of the three fighters Augie Sanchez's were the most legit in terms of score-wise,
    He was knocked down by all three, Alicia rocked him, then he fell on his arse. KNOCK DOWN. Did Naz say he was just off balance, and that right hand didnt snap his head back???
    Kelly also knocked him down with one flush shot in the 1st. Watch the fight. It was a great shot. And very much a knock down. Unless Naz said different.
    and even those didnt count.... Daniel Alicea KD was a blatent slip which took him around about 0.23425 split seconds to get up from.
    Irrelevant.
    Nevertheless it was counted as a KD, so i will conceed that one, but if you really want to look at that fight. Watch the next round. That is some ownage and one of the best combo's Naz has ever done. Come to think of it, the combo that finished Augie Sanchez and put him in a neck brace and in hospital was one of the best also.
    Irrelevant. Finally we come to Kevin Kelley. I think that of the 3 KD's in that fight if that is the number (havent watched in a while) by Kelley, one of them is a decent shot. By no stretch of the imagination did Kelley own him. He didnt outbox him, he got outboxed. Just look at the cards and the result.
    And your telling me to watch the fight??? lol
    As ive mentioned, he jabs Naz into the ropes, he knocked him down in the first, he lands some huge punches forcing Naz to touch down. He was knocked down, and at times out boxed. Like i said originally.

    Barrerra boxed his head off? Go watch the fight again.....
    Naz was owned! Simple.

    Your seriously biased towards Naz. Maybe im biased against him.
    I was a huge fan, but watching him fight Robinson again pissed me off. He is a disrecpectful twat.
    Documentaries are as biased as ****? Nice stereotype right there. I have seen plenty of documentaries that arent biased. But you fail to see that, i wont even bother to explain....

    Im asking for examples when i dont have any? Bobby, i asked you for 2 examples to demonstrate your point. You said he found it hard making weight. You recognised that as a legit point (which it isnt) so i asked you for 2 instances of when he failed to make the weight or whatever. Now would you like to provide one. Why do i need to provide examples? Im not the one making ****** points/posts.

    Weighted more than once = trouble getting to weight. Coming in under your opponent or dead on with your opponent is not having trouble.....

    You didnt answer the height or reach paragraph at all......

    Kelley snapped his head back, oh and Barrerra. You obviously missed the other 30 odd fights....

    He was knocked down by all 3 fighters? Yes he was, but he was never sparked cold out, he never stayed on the deck longer than 4 seconds, and at least 70% of the reason was the fact that he was his own worst enemy with balance etc.

    Why was my combo point irrelevant. I was showing to you, the narrow minded picture you are putting across. You mention Kelley. Kelley got owned by Naz. Naz took the piss almost on Wayne McCullough proportions that night, and finished him off with one of the nicest single shots i have seen him throw....

    You keep ****ing bringing Kelley up. Do you even know the result of that fight? It was a clean KO!!! out on the ****ing matt. KO/TKO! Gone. Done. Dusted. Kelley hit him with some good shots. Now tell me the shots Naz replied with.....

    He was disrespectful against Robinson? You clearly have not seen much Naz. He was showboating a lot in that fight. But did you even see the end. The sportsmanship. The respect both had...

    Go figure.

      Documentries are not neccessarily factual, and sports documentries usually glorify the boxer, editing it as the makers see fit. Which docs have u seen? Ive probably seen them to.
      But you fail to see that, i wont even bother to explain....

      Im asking for examples when i dont have any? Bobby, i asked you for 2 examples to demonstrate your point. You said he found it hard making weight.

Why do i need to provide examples?
      Why would i make it up? I heard it repeatedly in the build up to his later fights. Thats all im saying. You obviously didnt hear or read what i did. Im not the one making ****** points/posts.Your the one saying "False" with no argument. How can you say its false if ive heard otherwise? Just because you havent heard somone say he had trouble with weight dosnt mean no one ever said it.

      You didnt answer the height or reach paragraph at all......

      Well, to me its common sense that if he is getting knocked down at featherweights, he will have trouble with bigger men.

      Kelley snapped his head back, oh and Barrerra. You obviously missed the other 30 odd fights....
      I said he was outboxed by those fighters. Nothing you say disputes that he wasnt outjabbed. My point being quality lightweights will also be able to do so.

      He was knocked down by all 3 fighters? Yes he was, but he was never sparked cold out, he never stayed on the deck longer than 4 seconds, and at least 70% of the reason was the fact that he was his own worst enemy with balance etc.
      Again, your talking about somthing else.I stated he was put down, i dont give a **** how long it was for. My point is the same as the one above! He will be hit, like he was before he retired.

      Why was my combo point irrelevant. I was showing to you, the narrow minded picture you are putting across. You mention Kelley. Kelley got owned by Naz. Naz took the piss almost on Wayne McCullough proportions that night, and finished him off with one of the nicest single shots i have seen him throw....
      Looks like you dont know what you're talking about. Wayne McCullough was not finished off. The fight went 12 rounds. The distance.

      You keep ****ing bringing Kelley up. Do you even know the result of that fight? It was a clean KO!!! out on the ****ing matt. KO/TKO! Gone. Done. Dusted. Kelley hit him with some good shots. Now tell me the shots Naz replied with.....
      I never suggested Kelly was better. Or disputed that Naz finished brilliantly, but i havent mentioned that because...AGAIN...my original point was, IF naz returns he will not be any better than he was, and i mention Kelly to point out that he was out jabbed and knocked down several times.Its just an opinion. But responding with "false" is not debating the issue.
      He was disrespectful against Robinson? You clearly have not seen much Naz.
      Lol, Ok mr "Wayne McCullough was finished with one punch!" He was showboating a lot in that fight. But did you even see the end. The sportsmanship. The respect both had...
      Yes disrecpectful. He laughed at him, mocked him, and took the piss in front of Robinsons friends and family, to me thats disrespectful. If Robinson had been seriously injured or killed, there would have been no time to show sportsmanship.

      Go figure.

          I agree, I think Naz will be just as good as before, minus his Barrera peformance. I only hope he can get a steady trainer that will help him tweak his ring rust asap. I think it will be good for the sport of boxing, and depending on what weight he returns to as it will definitley rattle up the game a bit.


          By the way this is my first posting, I am newbie..hello to all!

              I personally think that if he thought he still had it, he wouldn't have stayed retired all this time! So no he doesn't have it or he would still be fighting.

                Him and Brendan Ingle split at the same time he split with Frank Warren.

                Manny Steward doesnt want to train him anymore as he had little discipline for the 5 fights he was under him for.

                      Go figure.
                      I have seen the Wayne MCCullough fight and i didnt say that he knocked him out with one punch. Go find that please. Whilst you are having fun doing that i will tell you that he did take the piss out of Wayne McCullough that night. He owned him every single round. It was a boring fight and was only allowed to go the distance because Naz wasnt listening to Brendan Ingle and wasnt obeying anything he said. This was the downfall between Ingle and Naz, where their relationship basically ended.

                      Documentaries, i was talking in general. You said documentaries are biased as ****. I said nice stereotype, because that was all it was. I have seen plenty of documentaries that arent biased.

                      Just because you heard a RUMOUR that he found it hard making weight, i have heard the FACTS that he didnt find it hard making weight. He never failed, and you couldnt give me an example so your point is invalid.

                      He was being knocked down by Featherweights? I think he was knocked down 5 times in his whole career. At least 3 of them were flash and none of them resulted in him staying on the floor for long. So his chin isnt in question. He got straight up and beat his opponents that knocked him down.

                      And you said he will have trouble if he comes back against bigger men. Loads of his fights, he is up against bigger men. Naz is only 5'4 and he beat everyone but Barrerra. Size is no issue with Naz.
