| Quote: Mugwump "Naz beat not far from a dozen past and future champions. He'd have been a lot closer to Barrera if he'd been a) in his prime (about the time of the fight against Robinson) and b) hadn't stopped training in the three weeks leading up to the fight,'"
There was a resume of Naz's career in [iEsquire[/i magazine a few weeks back, including contributions from the Ingles and Frank Warren. Talking of the Barrera fight, or rather the build up to it, the picture they painted was of a man who had surrounded himself by yes men, massaging his ego 24/7. Diuring a Channel Four documentary, Naz's entourage drove pass Barrera's camp—a shanty on top of some hills—whilst his brother bragged that Hamed was training—or rather, not training—in plush, grade A facilities. Priority problems there methinks.
It's still a disappointment that Naz never really returned (bar the half-hearted comeback), especially as Barrera went onto become a bona fide legend. It was also interesting to hear that Paul Malignaggi wants to emulate Naz. He was also mentioned in some regard by HBO's commentators during one of the fights on the Woods/Tarver undercard.

The very same,he fancies his chances too seeing as its supposed to be a warm for De La Hoya.But i doubt he will be taken lightly.Inkin has pulled out of next weeks fight with Froch and the WBC have made him mandatory challenger whoever he fights next week.Look out Joe!!

DLH faded late on in the Mayweather fight and tired against Forbes too. I doubt he can boil down to welterweight whilst maintaining his endurance nevermind increasing it.

| Khan – Gomez announced
Just a name now really Gomez, was/is one of my favourite boxers and one I had the pleasure of watching at Oldham Sports centre in his prime. The opening rounds of his fight against Johanneson showed what he was capable of but he tired badly after four and the fitter man finished him off.
Looks like Khan won’t be taking Prince Nas’ record with Warren opting for the easier route for his cash cow.

2005.jpg Anderson-son-son
He's better than Kleberson
Anderson-son-son-son
He's our midfield magician
On the left, on the right
Do the Samba beat tonight
He is class, he sh*gs brass
And he sh*ts on Fabregas:2005.jpg |

Exactly, did the same thing with Hatton until the Kosta fight. Gomez is past it thesedays which is a shame because I use to love watching him fight. Fingers crossed a potential shock happens and Khan and Warren get what they both deserve.

Lost his last three Gomez, is just a name these days, tires early and will suit a fighter like Khan.
