Hamed was very humble in defeat,he made no excuses like Pacqiao and Freddie Roach when they lost to Erik Morales.They blamed the loss to Erik on the type of gloves he used and then a few years later he said he lost because of a blood sample.My respect to Hamed who said he just got outboxed,no shame in that.

He did make excuse after the fight blaming he had to lose so much weight, but whose fault was that, he got too heavy and too lazy. And Emmanuel Steward his trainer said he had sent tapes of one of Barrera fights in which he fought great in, but Naseem didn’t want to watch those he only watched the fights in which he fought not that well.
he accepted defeat, and congratulated the winner. I liked watching him get beat because he comes across as a douche, but I have zero problem with his post game interview.
MoneyOverFame what succes the biggest talents of that era of that division are barrera, pacquaio, morales, juan manuel marquez and they all mixed it up. naz is U.K bum only fighting in the U.K when he fought 1 of the grates he was schooled and retired. no he didnt take the loss very well cause he never came back.
Prince Naseem was very humble but confident in defeat. Some of today's boxers could learn from this. His personality was and still is missed in boxing. He did things the way the should be done. He was an extremely polarizing sportsman, and definitely one of my favorite boxers of all time.
You non muslims don't understand anything about faith in islam. He got to where he did in life becuase he always had faith in God. Even with fame and loads money he never forgot about god and his achievements.
George Acosta stfu prince got exposed that night Marco went on and fought legendary fighters prince was just hyped don’t forget African and Mexican fighters are the ones who’s dominating boxing right now.

meddy1 Mohammed "became" a muslim to avoid the draft but he kept his religious sensibility to himself and never shot his mouth off about it - religion is supposed to make a person humble about his sins and his insignificance to the Diety he presumably worships. With Naseem the clown it was exactly the opposite
raffey8 If you are his "brothers" he must have a large family, including another loser like you in the nest. Plain and simple, Naseem got his muslim ass kicked all over the canvas by a humble Mexican fighter - and a technically superior fighter. Barrera stripped Naseem down completely - exposing his grotesque bravado, arrogance and the ridiculous nature of his embarrassing post-fight absurd "dedication" of his humiliating LOSS to "all muslims." That moment exposed exactly what he was about and what his vile religion is all about - something the entire world now knows with perfect clarity.
@@sugs1191 I would put my house on that fight going the distance. Nas never got hurt he was knocked down a lot but would regularly get back up 2 seconds later and shake his head. So a natural super bantamweight (Morales) wouldn’t be able to move up and stop him

Chris you big dosser the man had a 37-1 fighting record he was more than a great fighter. He’s 47 now and far from a featherweight yet he could still knock you flat on your arse u daft cunt ;)
@Arslan Malik No i'm not, if you go through my responses on here i repeatedly stick up for Amir Khan when people ridicule him. I went to watch him fight a number of times, so was a fan. Trouble was, Naz didn't live the boxing life, ignored his coaches and surrounded himself with people who didn't have his best interests at heart, that's why he didn't go on to achieve greatness.
@Arslan Malik yeah he is asain and cocky can't stand him I was well happy when he got beat. nas before the fight saying I have Allah on my side lmao .Marco had Jesus the real god nas is a shit house who didn't come back the bellend he is he met a top fighter and got is arsed kicked

@@megadave1197 Greatest British boxer of all time? Don't be ridiculous, his best win was vs an old Tom Johnson, who else on his record now stands out? The only top-class fighter he fought he got destroyed by. Facts my friend.
All Prince Naz's haters are Islam haters. They all know he is one of the best fighters in the history of the sport but they just hate the fact that he is a Muslim and therefore hate him. SIMPLY
The fact that he is Muslim, of course, merits deserved hatred toward him. However, the real reason he is thoroughly hated is because he is an arrogant braggart with little to back it up. Compare him to Barrera. Barrera didn't shoot his mouth off. He did all of his fighting in the ring and he demonstrated that he was a true boxer and he didn't blabber about his religious faith - Catholicism - after the fight, Whereas Naseem shot his mouth off about islam and allah, etc. ad nauseam, and what good did allah do him in the ring?
It's the other way around. Those who hate Islam because it rightfully deserves such hatred and contempt, also hate "the prince" because he is a muslim. One would think that a person who wears "Islam" on his trunks and blathers about islam after the fight which he lost had better have allah on his side if he is going to win the fight against a "kofar." I guess in this fight, allah had fallen asleep.
T0mat0S0up "Verbal dexterity" simply indicates what we already knew about Naseem - He had a big mouth full of braggadocio and emptiness. However, what makes a boxer, an athlete, a fighter is "physical dexterity," i.e. everything Barrera had to win the fight and everything Naseem lacked.
Guys like Pacquaio are praised for their humbleness. And guys like Hamed are called loud mouths. But when Pacquiao lost to Mayweather I’ve never heard such excuses, and when Hamed lost here he gave more respect than I’ve ever seen. I’d give you a day to find somebody take a lose so humbly.
Love him or hate him I couldn’t wait for his fights, He can have my ppv money! nas was the most exciting & electric fighter to come out the U.K So confident , so powerful and a master finisher . And boy was he slick doing it. I still to this day watch the Robinson fight regularly, that night , that fight he was magical and he wasn’t even in the feather weight rankings so how he got straight for the title only Allah knows 👍🏾 The guys a living legend in my eyes simple !!!..... simple.
zak Khan no hes not, he didnt fight or beat the BEST 4 OF HIS WEIGHT CLASS. Barrera, Morales, pacquiao, juan manuel marquez. these are the best of nazeems generation and he ducked them after he got taken to school by barrera.
I was in that arena 21 years ago, first Boxing match I ever went to. Very gracious by Prince Naseem afterwards. We stayed in the MGM that night and saw Barrera in the hotel after we were allowed back out of our room once they had cleared the crowds. I was shocked at how swollen a boxers face gets post fight. Ouch! 🤕
Ooh the IBO belt, a big time comeback against the mighty Manual Calvo. That really silenced the doubters and avenged the Barerra loss didn't it. Wtf?? Face reality man. I'm not a Nas hater, I used to like watching him, but he didn't come back after this fight, he had one fight against a lower level opponent and then quit. The IBO belt is not a legitimate world title. Only WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO actually count, every boxing fan knows that.
at daniel callahan @2:16 of the video nas says "No I want him" meaning MAB. You're the MORON, he didn't want the re-match with Barrera and he's lucky he didn't fight Erik Morales either because he would have suffered his second loss.
Conor hand problems ha ha....did you watch the fight, Naz got schooled....hand problems, he couldn't get out of the way quick enough. He got beat up arrogant boy got schooled
Mark Rhoden how would you know about if he had hand problems so many boxers have hand problems cause they always break them it don’t even matter you can’t even Box nas and barrera will destroy you while your Mom will watch
Jinja-Ninja none of those Mexicans had a chance if they actually went toe to toe. Barrera/Morales/Marquez, they all would’ve been knocked out by Naz if they came to fight like how they did each other and you know this. 1:30 Naz wants to say it too but he’s being a good sport about it.
Even though Naz got whupped bad, I give him credit for staying on his feet all night, despite all the solid Barrera hits and managing to go the distance without getting KOd or TKOd.
Naseem is our Muslim brother and he showed the world he was a proud Muslim, always said Allah hu Akbar and shahada. Maybe the defeat was a lesson for him and for all of us, arrogance and egotistical behaviour only leads to sorrow. Gutted for naz, it's a shame but he's still a hero to us and a true legend of the game. Allah hu Akbar
He would have never beaten Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez or Marco Antonio Barrera in a rematch, that is why he quit. He was good against regular fighters, but not the elite fighters. Sorry but your argument does not hold water. He never returned after this ass whipping
I think he was pretty humble in defeat, especially giving credit where credit was due. Shame he didn't come back, but then again Barrera did "box" the better fight. I do think Naseem Hamad is a legend but he wasn't a boxer. He had great agility and great power but relied on being able to land bombs on everyone. Sometimes that just isn't gonna work as Barrera showed. Saying that I do think the fight was closer than all the rage filled trolls and haters seem to spew.
well you can't expect a sky flying firework to go boom, it was born to go sky flying, to go high, if you make the fuse go boom, it will probly not as loud as other many fireworks, ok, stupid example, all i am saying is if he didn't fight the way he does, he won't be a "prince"
Naz was a phenomenal natural talent who relied too much on that talent and got found out eventually, Barrera worked hard at his craft and became the best fighter he could be
I see what your saying. But Naz had an underrated chin too. He also had an unorthodox defense. I think Barrera said Nas was the best he fought. Wayne McCullough who drew with Barrera said Nas had the best defense (I think). Nas could of won this fight but he did not train hard enough
Berrera didn't do anything for 12 rounds lol and the lost Is from Allah it was test from God but nassem accepted it and moved on not cry about it and go watch khan vs berrera then talk!
+mohamed azzam why do you Muslims say "god" (Allah lol) is the reason for everything that happens to you lot?? If your mother was raped and killed did Allah have something to do with that ??
there was a return clause in the contract Berrera gave up the belt he won when he seen the clown was afraid to take him on again .berrera knew naz could not punch as hard as the rumours had said and he would not have to be careful at all so when he had him hurt he could go for the ko. unlike the 1st fight in which he was being a little cautious and did not go for the kill when he had naz hurt
+Gianflavio FX No, Barerra refused the rematch and Prince had one more fight after this, which he won and then retired due to the injuries he kept sustaining to his hands.
Hamed lost and accept it like a gentleman. He could of continue with his boxing career but like many other boxers he had to many idiots around him that he had to support.
Naseem was one of the most impressive natural athletes I've ever seen in the ring - certainly a better natural athlete than barrera. Unfortunately, even though Naeem was a fearsome fighter, he never did learn the art of Boxing and, as a result, was beat by a better-schooled fighter who did not even come close to having Naseems natural power and reflexes. Man...Naseem could have been one of the all-time greats. Such a shame.
in one interview he said that he had problems with his fists...another thing is that just like pacman he became religious during his last years....religiousity diminishes their passion or let's say their animal instinct in the ring. just look at pacquiao...here's a link www.boxingnews24.com/2009/03/naseem-hamed-why-did-the-%E2%80%98prince%E2%80%99-retire/
Yes great fighters get beaten and great fighters come back. Pity the Prince never came back; he was past his sell-by date when he took on Barrera. The few fights leading up to Barrera demonstrated this. The hunger had waned and he was only kidding himself by his talk. In his heart of hearts he knew his supreme days were well behind him. In his prime, he was exciting, entertaining and simply unbeatable. But he gave his all in the ring and never made futile excuses. We will cherish the memories.
Haha whoever calls Naz a legend is delusional. He was good, never great. He lied as well, he never came back Stronger and he never gave Barrera a rematch. Maybe that was written as well. He was a good showman and had power but a legend he is not, as a mater of fact he wasnt even a great boxer. Glad he lost
+Jason West Barerra refused the rematch and Prince had one more fight after this, which he won and then retired due to the injuries he kept sustaining to his hands.
Prince Naseem Hamed was, and probably always will be one of the greatest fighters of the featherweight division. He lost one fight, so what? Muhammed Ali, proclaimed by everybody who matters (and none of the people that will comment on this video matter) to be THE greatest fighter who ever lived, lost FIVE fights. Nobody cares about a few losses, the true boxing fans care about the skill and entertainment a fighter brings to the ring, and Prince was a legend in both regards. Don't give a rats ass what anybody else says or thinks, cos' haters gonna hate.
+Hasan Arshid “Iarehealer” MUHAMMED ALI FOUGHT SOME OF THE GREATEST FIGHTERS IN HISTORY, NASEEM HAMED FOUGHT ONLY CRAPPY FIGHTERS, HE LOST AGAINST THE ONLY GOOD FIGHTER HE EVER FACE, AND THEN RETIRED.
So just cos you hadn't heard of any of his opponents, you automatically call them crappy. Take caps off and take your shitty opinions elsewhere bellend.
Would you like to know who this boxer is? He is the hero: Naseem Hamed.. Yemeni Arab champion 🏆🏅🥊 #Prince👑 #The_legend☝️ #Pleasure_boxing🎉 #legend_that_will_not_be_ repeated💪☝️👊
Naz was class in this interview. I remember thinking he was a prize prick back in the 90s, but he offered up zero excuses here and gave respect to Barrera.
You are totally wrong. I'm not going to argue about Tyson because this is a Naz video, but Naseem was one of the most talented boxers that ever exist. You can see he's not the same fighter against Barrera (physically) than in most other bouts. He didn't like to stay away from his family, and so he start to miss the training.
Aladdin Aldilawi Jaja, no sé por qué te respondí en inglés, creo que por la costumbre. Mirá, él fue el campeón en su tiempo, y le sacó ventaja holgada a los demás. Claro que justo en esa época no habían peleadores como Pacquiao o Mayweather, y quizás por eso Naz nunca necesitó llevar su condición al máximo. Pero en cuanto talento, yo nunca vi nada igual (excepto quizás Sugar Leonard). Velocidad, defensa, buen puño y buen mentón (lo demostró contra Barrera, que lo golpeó toda la pelea y nunca lo tiró).
Well, naz still dedicated the fight to all muslims, and barrera despite winning the fight has still not become a muslim so he will loose out in hereafter and endup in hell, when he stands before his Lord Allah.
That's right Marge Babe l showed best highlights of Pernell Whitaker & The Prince Naseem Hameed over today's fighter Amir Khan an Early scared a retired Floyd Mayweather Whitaker an Hameed was better
+Luis Castellanos Lol! I never liked Amir Khan's or Prince Naseem cockiness. I find that Latinos boxers an't so cocky instead they are more down to earth and humble. Even Marco Barrea showed his humble side and so did Canelo when he beat Amir recently.
Ash Bisho. It's true all fighters should be judged on their talent. But it was naz who disrespected and belittled other fighters, and was the first to bring religion into the ring by demanding that prayers be said over the microphone system for his father?? This was outrageous imo
@kammypaki4lyf i'm Mexican but lets be serious all races can fight, even Middle Eastern people and White People Michael Katsidis, Carl Froch, Georges St-Pierre, Pavlik, all those UFC white dudes, and all those Eastern European people can fight like Wladimir K, and Vitali K. Pirog and a bucnh of dudes
can you imagine what berrera morales pacman marquez and mckinney would have done to this clown after berrera showed that this idiots Power was way overrated once his hands were wrapped proprrly and legal. he had been underwrapping his hands for years until the berrera fight where he was caught and had to be rewrapped 3 times thus the huge delay in that fight plus the lack of Power against berrera and calvo. causing his retirement.
contenue? :S And mate, im telling you the truth, why do little girls like you turn it into a muslim thing. Im a fan of Ali, Tyson and Khan.. All muslims. I told you the truth and you cant even back yourself up reasonably. Learn a thing or two about boxing.
What a legend, he was a cocky asshole, and took the L like an absolute man.
Massive respect
For all the cockiness, all the antics, he was exceptionally gracious in defeat. Respect.

at daniel callahan @2:16 of the video nas says "No I want him" meaning MAB. You're the MORON, he didn't want the re-match with Barrera and he's lucky he didn't fight Erik Morales either because he would have suffered his second loss.
Lucas Maximus he had hand problems dumb ass he’s a fighter Your a dude that lives in your parents house
Conor hand problems ha ha....did you watch the fight, Naz got schooled....hand problems, he couldn't get out of the way quick enough. He got beat up arrogant boy got schooled
Mark Rhoden how would you know about if he had hand problems so many boxers have hand problems cause they always break them it don’t even matter you can’t even Box nas and barrera will destroy you while your Mom will watch
Hamed took his defeat like a man and an smart one, he didn't want Morales as a comeback fight.
Jinja-Ninja none of those Mexicans had a chance if they actually went toe to toe. Barrera/Morales/Marquez, they all would’ve been knocked out by Naz if they came to fight like how they did each other and you know this. 1:30 Naz wants to say it too but he’s being a good sport about it.
Jinja-Ninja I agree he boxed really well.
Search hamed didn't duck on CZcams, morales, tapia and Marquez all ducked hamed.
Even though Naz got whupped bad, I give him credit for staying on his feet all night, despite all the solid Barrera hits and managing to go the distance without getting KOd or TKOd.
The best ever Boxer from Britain prince 👑
Naseem is our Muslim brother and he showed the world he was a proud Muslim, always said Allah hu Akbar and shahada.
Maybe the defeat was a lesson for him and for all of us, arrogance and egotistical behaviour only leads to sorrow. Gutted for naz, it's a shame but he's still a hero to us and a true legend of the game.
Allah hu Akbar
Youre wrong on tye 2nd paragraph, he didnt show arrogance against Allah, he show it in fight context which is totally fine.
Prince naz A big legend!
Haters will hate, he only lost on points!
Action King “Only” got a one sided beating and couldn’t even come back to boxing.
He would have never beaten Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez or Marco Antonio Barrera in a rematch, that is why he quit. He was good against regular fighters, but not the elite fighters. Sorry but your argument does not hold water. He never returned after this ass whipping
He got fkn smashed humiliated & then bottled the re match end of fkn story u tool
By that logic, I can say that he lost because he didn't knock Barrera out.
انت فخر لليمن واليمنين
when you be back??
I think he was pretty humble in defeat, especially giving credit where credit was due. Shame he didn't come back, but then again Barrera did "box" the better fight. I do think Naseem Hamad is a legend but he wasn't a boxer. He had great agility and great power but relied on being able to land bombs on everyone. Sometimes that just isn't gonna work as Barrera showed. Saying that I do think the fight was closer than all the rage filled trolls and haters seem to spew.
well you can't expect a sky flying firework to go boom, it was born to go sky flying, to go high, if you make the fuse go boom, it will probly not as loud as other many fireworks, ok, stupid example, all i am saying is if he didn't fight the way he does, he won't be a "prince"
A LEGEND COME ON JUST HAND PICKED FIGHTERS TO FIGHT UNTIL HE CAME UP AGAINST A REAL BOXER LIKE BARRERA , AND THAT WAS THE END OF THAT FOOL.
Naz was a phenomenal natural talent who relied too much on that talent and got found out eventually, Barrera worked hard at his craft and became the best fighter he could be
I see what your saying. But Naz had an underrated chin too. He also had an unorthodox defense. I think Barrera said Nas was the best he fought. Wayne McCullough who drew with Barrera said Nas had the best defense (I think). Nas could of won this fight but he did not train hard enough
Actually the loss didn't come from Allah - that ass kicking came from Marco Antonio Barrera !
+Joe Stagner Hardly an 'ass kicking', Barrera couldn't hurt him and Naseem didn't show up to fight, just dance, pathetic on both their parts.
Berrera didn't do anything for 12 rounds lol and the lost Is from Allah it was test from God but nassem accepted it and moved on not cry about it and go watch khan vs berrera then talk!
+zied111 just accept it, your little muslim lost and the Mexican won. It wasn't god that beat Naseem, it was Marco Antonio Barrera
+Vote 4Pedro i have never seen so much hate. stop talking about the guys religon shit at least have some respect
+mohamed azzam why do you Muslims say "god" (Allah lol) is the reason for everything that happens to you lot?? If your mother was raped and killed did Allah have something to do with that ??
there was a return clause in the contract Berrera gave up the belt he won when he seen the clown was afraid to take him on again .berrera knew naz could not punch as hard as the rumours had said and he would not have to be careful at all so when he had him hurt he could go for the ko. unlike the 1st fight in which he was being a little cautious and did not go for the kill when he had naz hurt
did they fight again?
+Gianflavio FX No, Barerra refused the rematch and Prince had one more fight after this, which he won and then retired due to the injuries he kept sustaining to his hands.
so when is this rematch.........still waiting................
A B good point
Hamed lost and accept it like a gentleman. He could of continue with his boxing career but like many other boxers he had to many idiots around him that he had to support.
Like his family
Naseem was one of the most impressive natural athletes I've ever seen in the ring - certainly a better natural athlete than barrera. Unfortunately, even though Naeem was a fearsome fighter, he never did learn the art of Boxing and, as a result, was beat by a better-schooled fighter who did not even come close to having Naseems natural power and reflexes. Man...Naseem could have been one of the all-time greats. Such a shame.
Nas was always respectful to his opponents after the fight whether he won or lost
@simone the cow
What's with the irrational hate??
I wounded why he quit. He was a good fighter. He just got beat by a better fighter.
in one interview he said that he had problems with his fists...another thing is that just like pacman he became religious during his last years....religiousity diminishes their passion or let's say their animal instinct in the ring. just look at pacquiao...here's a link www.boxingnews24.com/2009/03/naseem-hamed-why-did-the-%E2%80%98prince%E2%80%99-retire/
Yes great fighters get beaten and great fighters come back. Pity the Prince never came back; he was past his sell-by date when he took on Barrera. The few fights leading up to Barrera demonstrated this. The hunger had waned and he was only kidding himself by his talk. In his heart of hearts he knew his supreme days were well behind him. In his prime, he was exciting, entertaining and simply unbeatable. But he gave his all in the ring and never made futile excuses. We will cherish the memories.
Did they have a re-match?
Man, i wished he came back but he never did. Legend.
Haha whoever calls Naz a legend is delusional. He was good, never great. He lied as well, he never came back Stronger and he never gave Barrera a rematch. Maybe that was written as well. He was a good showman and had power but a legend he is not, as a mater of fact he wasnt even a great boxer. Glad he lost
But you never came back LOLOLOL
+Jason West Barerra refused the rematch and Prince had one more fight after this, which he won and then retired due to the injuries he kept sustaining to his hands.
+Jason West he won the IBO featherweight title from Manuel Calvo before retiring.
+Adob Debunkology My bad man. boxing is hard to follow sometimes.
he was never the same after that fight, yeah he won his last fight. this dude was amazing goodness.
@nalon311 17-15 is bad but wats ur record?
Nassim is a legend
even if u lost u r the prince ever
Phenomenal fighter, personally not my favorite showman but you can't take away his legacy.
Well done taking the defeat with grace and humility. Your a better man for it.
You gave your best on the night and you can't do more than that.
Bullsh!t!!!
He got exposed by a real boxer.
He took the money and ran.
He's a coward!
Prince Naseem Hamed was, and probably always will be one of the greatest fighters of the featherweight division. He lost one fight, so what? Muhammed Ali, proclaimed by everybody who matters (and none of the people that will comment on this video matter) to be THE greatest fighter who ever lived, lost FIVE fights. Nobody cares about a few losses, the true boxing fans care about the skill and entertainment a fighter brings to the ring, and Prince was a legend in both regards. Don't give a rats ass what anybody else says or thinks, cos' haters gonna hate.
+Hasan Arshid “Iarehealer” MUHAMMED ALI FOUGHT SOME OF THE GREATEST FIGHTERS IN HISTORY, NASEEM HAMED FOUGHT ONLY CRAPPY FIGHTERS, HE LOST AGAINST THE ONLY GOOD FIGHTER HE EVER FACE, AND THEN RETIRED.
So just cos you hadn't heard of any of his opponents, you automatically call them crappy. Take caps off and take your shitty opinions elsewhere bellend.
you talk about shitty opinions? naseem never fought a good fighter until he fought barrera, he lost misserably and retired only at the age of 27.
You just reiterated your shitty opinion. If you don't rate him, get off a video dedicated to him you idiot.
wow, i feel realy offended! great fighters come back, like ali, loosers get lost like these guy
so......tell us all again about how you returned to knock out Barrera then, Naz.
..........(yawn!)
Who barrera? He die fight pacciao. He Like punching bag
Would you like to know who this boxer is?
He is the hero: Naseem Hamed.. Yemeni Arab champion 🏆🏅🥊
#Prince👑
#The_legend☝️
#Pleasure_boxing🎉
#legend_that_will_not_be_ repeated💪☝️👊
0:34 "Great fighters get beat, great fighter come back. I'll be back"
Retired shortly after 😂 man can't even stand by his words. Man is all talk.
hes a true man!
Naz was class in this interview. I remember thinking he was a prize prick back in the 90s, but he offered up zero excuses here and gave respect to Barrera.
Unlike a certain heavy weight who won't take defeat gracefully currently
This interview is so ironic! He keeps on repeating that he will come back like a great fighter but ultimately never does...
@BartsBeatz didn't he get into trouble with the law after this??
naz is just like tyson, overrated as hell, fought bunch of bums and got exposed as soon as he fought real boxers.
well said
You are totally wrong. I'm not going to argue about Tyson because this is a Naz video, but Naseem was one of the most talented boxers that ever exist. You can see he's not the same fighter against Barrera (physically) than in most other bouts. He didn't like to stay away from his family, and so he start to miss the training.
which top tier fighters did he beat?
Aladdin Aldilawi Jaja, no sé por qué te respondí en inglés, creo que por la costumbre. Mirá, él fue el campeón en su tiempo, y le sacó ventaja holgada a los demás. Claro que justo en esa época no habían peleadores como Pacquiao o Mayweather, y quizás por eso Naz nunca necesitó llevar su condición al máximo. Pero en cuanto talento, yo nunca vi nada igual (excepto quizás Sugar Leonard). Velocidad, defensa, buen puño y buen mentón (lo demostró contra Barrera, que lo golpeó toda la pelea y nunca lo tiró).
sry i dont speak watermelon
This was for all the Christians in the world in Mexico and in heaven especially Catholics!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 🙏✝️Que viva Cristo Rey!!🙏👍
Amir Khan (muslim) KO'ed barrera
@@S5.4 Yes but Muslim Kahn got KTFO by Catholic Canelo 100 times worse
Well, naz still dedicated the fight to all muslims, and barrera despite winning the fight has still not become a muslim so he will loose out in hereafter and endup in hell, when he stands before his Lord Allah.
Amen to that brother
@@S5.4 Canelo KO’d Amir Khan
I'm not a muslim, and enjoyed this fight. VERY MUCH
Morales vs Naz is one of the all time fantasy fights
Aladdin go back to Disney you don't know anything about boxing
Hahaha!!! I like that!
That's right Marge Babe l showed best highlights of Pernell Whitaker & The Prince Naseem Hameed over today's fighter Amir Khan an Early scared a retired Floyd Mayweather Whitaker an Hameed was better
+Luis Castellanos
Lol! I never liked Amir Khan's or Prince Naseem cockiness. I find that Latinos boxers an't so cocky instead they are more down to earth and humble. Even Marco Barrea showed his humble side and so did Canelo when he beat Amir recently.
Ash Bisho. It's true all fighters should be judged on their talent. But it was naz who disrespected and belittled other fighters, and was the first to bring religion into the ring by demanding that prayers be said over the microphone system for his father?? This was outrageous imo
Honest Legend. True Man.
That close fight even with broken hand.
He never recovered from that fight, the next in line in thay division was Morales and Paqiao the princess and his allah chickened out
nope he wasn't best he ducked marquez morales tapia even mayweather
golden boy they ducked him in the early 90s and only offered him a fight towards the end of his career.
@myaangeline dont like pac? any specific reason?
@kammypaki4lyf i'm Mexican but lets be serious all races can fight, even Middle Eastern people and White People
Michael Katsidis, Carl Froch, Georges St-Pierre, Pavlik, all those UFC white dudes, and all those Eastern European people can fight like Wladimir K, and Vitali K. Pirog and a bucnh of dudes
Great response after a lose!
Que dijo .oh que le partieron el osico😉
great reaction big boxer respect for him
can you imagine what berrera morales pacman marquez and mckinney would have done to this clown after berrera showed that this idiots Power was way overrated once his hands were wrapped proprrly and legal. he had been underwrapping his hands for years until the berrera fight where he was caught and had to be rewrapped 3 times thus the huge delay in that fight plus the lack of Power against berrera and calvo. causing his retirement.
gerry o reilly source?
fair enough. Still gotta admit Hamed was one hell of an entertainer if anything and he displayed great sportsmanship taking the loss like a man.
Finally someone said it like it is!! Good job man. That is all I wanted to hear..a smart answer. IM out.
@longtoothedparrot who should have he fought?
contenue? :S And mate, im telling you the truth, why do little girls like you turn it into a muslim thing. Im a fan of Ali, Tyson and Khan.. All muslims. I told you the truth and you cant even back yourself up reasonably. Learn a thing or two about boxing.
naseem hamed is from which country?
+poolehart thanks bro
