    No one was more delighted than me when Barrera schooled him but in fairness to him I think he deserves his spot in the hall of fame.

    Certainly one of the greatest showmen of the modern era. A good resume too, if not a great one.

    His resumé (while not exactly legendary) is an awful lot better than a plenty of other inductees - including Ray Mancini.

    A good fighter, certainly nowhere near a great one, his toughest fight he got schooled and he quit after that. Massively overrated but still a good fighter nevertheless.

    As stated Naz had a genuinely good career, he ruined any legacy he was ever going to have by boasting he was going to be a legend and said he would be rated higher than Ali and Willie Pep. At 5 ft 3 he was short at super featherweight, did he have trouble keeping the weight down?
    He looked small when compared to Barrera in there fight anyway.

    A good boxer but boring as hell.

    Naz should be inducted for showmanship and ability alone. If he actually took Boxing a little serious I'm certain he would have beaten Barrera and anyone really. His style as well as his shockingly good ability and technique would pose any boxer of any era serious problems. Didn't he put on 3 stone before the MAB fight that he had to lose very very quick? It was clear he was more concerned about the good life and having a laugh rather than hard work. Good for him though, such a wasted talent in the sport. His highlight reels videos are the finest you'll see.
