Naseem was a cocky fighter, but he was very likeable character. He hasn't forgotten his family and shared his wealth with all his family, not many celebrities can say that. Respect I wish him all the best.
@@brahmasthasabdakurusetra7531 not really, Nadeem rushed his training for that fight and just fought for the money then, you can't deny he knocked out so many big names . Barrera wasn't anything special.
@@huntermosely7420 Nah no excuses bro. Naseem couldn't beat barrera, No matter how much he trained. But Naseem was a talented fighter and i always tried to imitate him during the years that i boxed, I boxed for a lil over 8yrs amd looked up to prince Naseem. He was one of the greatest fighters imo. But no he couldn't beat Barrera,no matter what. Naseem knew that and thats why he never fought him again and i believe he didnt fight anyone else out of embarrassment for not fighting Barrera if he would have came back to boxing after his loss.
Because of Naseem's cool entrances and confidence in the ring I thought that he was arrogant but he is very down to earth when he talks! All respect to this champion from the USA 🇺🇸
I don't understand why Naz has so many haters he is a legend so what if he is fat now its all paid for. I'm sure he is also deeply effected by the horrendous tragic accident in his McLaren. Boxing needs a new prince but he is a complete "one off" shame he retired early wasn't himself in the Barrera fight but showed he had a chin and a big heart.
Christian Roberts naz was a sh!t talker and called out elite p4p fighters... promised he would knock them out... called out out Marquez...morales... and defamed barrera barrera put a boxing clinic on hamed hamed is seen as an overhyped fighter who never lived up to his mouth... in the u.k. hes beloved.... every where else he is remembered as a joke... he had the audacity to tell floyd that if they met when hamed was fighting... floyd would have lost his 0
Christian Roberts we live in a world where rules don't apply to everybody in the same way, depending, where you're from, colour of your skin, your social status, how much you have in your bank account, I promise you if Nasseem was a white English man things would be quite different, unfortunately the world isn't ready yet for the inclusion, because so long as we still have manipulators and social engineers things won't get any better in the near future, maybe in 500 years who know, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Yes he is a living legend he proved himself time and time again.
I remember hating him when i was growing up and watching the sport, but i really admire him today, especially seeing this interview and the way he fought fearlessly.
@joanofarc708 how he had one loss, and it happened after having multiple injuries and stopped training for 6 months. Actually I think that at that time sadly his time was over maybe earlier that what is normal. Regardless, when he was on his prime he looked undefeatable
fantastic boxer a raw talent amazing speed ferocious attack and a born entertainer feel proud and previleged that he flew our flag much deserved respect to a gent and a sporting icon
Nail on the head mate 👌 so much respect for this man and eubank Sr. Back in the day I didn't like either, I couldn't see past the attitudes, I was very young, looking back now both absolute legends ❤️ utmost respect. Will never be another like naz 👌💪🤜❤️

I still cant get over Caroline's death it breaks my heart watching Royle Family knowing we have lost her and there will never be another Royle Family god bless legend we'll never never forget you
The man was a great performer, entertaining boxer, and in real life a very down to earth person. He deserved the recognition he performed for and I hope he has a great life after boxing
I watched NAZ as a kid and he was exciting , confident and quality all the way . He was a great British boxer as was the legend greatest uk boxer Calzage and other uk greats like Eubank , benn and Lewis . Boxing needs guys like these again !
His only fuck up was falling out with his trainer. When the yanks started training him he lost the edge that made him outstanding. They narrowed his scope of gearing through dimensions that boxers couldn't read and made him more readable. That's how Barrera beat him, Nas wasn't himself. Ingle his old trainer knew how to keep Nas being Nas.
+SuperBad It was actually age catching up with him that was his only fuck up. The first thing to go in any athlete with age is speed and reflexes - the very thing that Nas relied on heavily in his younger years. Fact is that he'd already peaked when fighting Steve Robinson in 1995 and the following year was already on the slide downward. Unless fast boxers adapt to a bit of a new style as they slow with age, they're very soon fucked. Mike Tyson peaked early in the '80s and quickly lost it.
One of the best legends to ever come out of Britain, 40plus KOs, one loss and he retires and that fight went 12 rounds, guy was jus amazing he brought Britain together at that time it was all bout Naz!
Defo gonna be written within history! As one of the greatest fighters within time. His speed,accuracy. Confidence in his own ability...&...execution of the same.. His humbleness .&. Support of his mum,dad. . &.. Nine siblings is testament to the soul he is.. Listening to the great Tyson Fury Through interview saying he named his son after **Prince** Naseem..&...reiterating! Just how great a boxer he was/is. Speaks volumes stand alone. One great to another!! Such respect is earned! Never a given!!!
Remembering how naseem was during his career I was expecting a really arrogant persona.. how wrong was I!! I dont remember him being this down to earth and humble. That aside I was always a fan. The British boxing scene hasn't seen anything like him since he retired. What an entertainer in the ring👌
I never realised that Hamed could be such a gent. I was so used to him playing this character that not until now, I never heard the 'real' Prince speak. He's polite, respectful and can take a joke. He seems like a genuine nice guy.
Wish I could've fought like Naz. Hands down, chin out, smirking at your opponent and so godamm confident and fast as lightning! Afraid of no one. Who is there now that's anywhere near to his skills and showmanship?
The prince is such a humble guy. Outside the ring. I can tell he appreciates everything that has happened in his career. Definitely a different perspective of him.
His showmanship was ahead of his time. If he was around now with all the social media platforms, Naz would have blown up everywhere and he would have minted a whole lot more. The original Prince Naz, mis his talent.
Shoes what a good guy he really is and quite down to earth naturally. When you look back at all the comments and jokes about others in the build it to fights it was always said with a smile on his face because it was just for effect, not meant personally like some fighters today who get all steamed up over nothing.
Always liked watching him box, and my god he can punch so hard, he definitely had a huge knock out punch, his defensive skills were so what no there in some fights but he definitely was a great puncher in boxing, he was so very exciting to watch, he might be cocky, but he always knew he was that good to mix it with the very best
He did have good balance but dragged his hands on the floor lol that wat will knock u out no guard and getting caught, bad balance will get u pushed over or leave u open, but Naz's ability to slip bob and weave was brilliant.
Ha, love Naz - what a Living Legend!... I spent the day with him (doing sound on a documentary), a few years ago, and after his career... He was a really nice, approachable guy - and I'll always remember, he had this bonkers 'prototype-level' Merc. on the drive which had no door handles... Our director persuaded him to do a little shot of Naz getting into the car and driving off etc... However, when it came down to it - he couldn't work out how to open the goddam doors!... Hilarious! - but he still loves his Mercs eh?... 🙏 x
Its releasing that book Paddy and prince. I mean he got sued by ingle on this show. Because he said dirty buisness etc. for saying he felt exploited. Ingle wanted 25 percent. He signed with Warren Warren managed him. So manager fee goes to him. Trainers get 10 percent. I think he may get have been better to have paid it. If you see documentary says lead up to Barrera it looks too all over the place luxurious. He's starving himself to make weight. Also. Yeah. Tough give anyone 40 million and you probably can't live in poor area as easily. He also had hand surgery. He seems decent guy. So fuck knows . He had alot racism when he grew up. It probably motivated him. Weird kinda way. And all the gum supported each other. Him being rich he could train when he wanted. Midnight . And some in gym didn't like it. If he didn't get pay days till older. It might have been more successful. I dunno. The Kevin Kelley fight was brilliant. Barrera fight he chicken out flipping rope. Too islamic an entrance. Devout Muslim his brother slagging off Vegas on sky as den if iniquity. What a bell end.
I’ve been watching many re runs of his fights etc, in the past I was a fan, then thought he was overrated, now I’m a fan again. I was wrong and his skill was second to none, and aside from all the cockiness seems like a good man.
That is very true. I remember those times, people were respectful of each others religions atleast, but more racism back then also. 9/11 hadn't happened, also 7/7. Those terrorist attacks sparked tinder.
