Turns out nobody likes Prince Naseem anymore. I remember years ago he had a bit of a loyal following. I remember at the time a lot of people thought he was going to blow up to be something huge.... now it appears everybody hates him and say that the berrora fight "exposed" him. I enjoy watching his fights either way. Heres his knockouts:

He did?

Naseem was one in a zillion . His charisma and style were unique.You won't get another fighter like him again

He was like the "pantomime Villain" .You may have wanted him to lose , but you couldn't keep your eyes of him!

He was a hype-job. End of story.

Always liked him, still do.
Didn't realise his potential I reckon but few do. More hard work was probably needed once he went trans-atlantic.

I'll add after seeing the above vids:
Great performer, entertainer, boxer & artist.

ThunderCat

He was always going to fall short in a division that featured at the time a peak Barerra and Morales, or close to peak at least. Talented boxer and entertainer no question, but the hype was always more than the ability and I think the fact he didn't want to know after been beat by Barerra speaks volumes. His ego couldnt take the loss.

I liked him for the most part he was charasmatic and a real showman had unreal power aswell, i think its just he actually thought and most likely still does that he was one of the best ever or something tbh you could see before the Barrera fight he was a total hype job decent but not half as good as he belived i read Johhny Nelson's book and in it Naz seems to be as arrogant in real life as he was in the ring, anyways you would miss him for the pure entertainment value but i wouldnt fancy spending much time in his company say you'd want to hit him a slap after a few minutes

I was definitely one of the loyal Naz followers... Never been entertained as much by a boxer since. His entrances were great until he started with the religious crap.. Think he peaked in his early 20s. He seemed to lose a lot of his ability in the last few years of his career.

Panthro

I just googled him there to see what he looks like now.
Jaysus, he's unrecognizable.

Alpha Dog 1

I watched the interview he done recently on sky. Doesn't look anything like the boxer of the 90's found it hard to believe it was actually him.

Facinating insight into the build up to the barrera fight, crazy stuff!

Frank Gallagher pissed

Massive Naz fan, my favourite ever boxer.

Hes not as much of a prick as everyone thinks either IMO.
