I like Naseem's entrances, but he kind of annoyed the hell out of me whenever he faught with all of his show boating and shit. It got really old after a while and it made me want to see him get his ass kicked.

But dude, he trains everyday! lol.

That's already a crock of shit, or a sign of stupidity.

No rest days? Seriously.

I do agree with you however, that Nas' knockouts were certainly helped by wrong footing his opponents and catching them when they didn't expect it.

I'd say he was genuinely heavy handed, but a lot of other boxers can throw huge punches like that if they were not worried about keeping a guard up, footwork, etc. Nas was able to throw wild haymaker punches in pro fights at the highest level - thats what was so impressive. The fact that he could swing his arm out wide, leap in and TWAT someone. Like Roy Jones, a 'normal' athelete would be caught out trying to mimic the style

Barrera was the first to keep his cool, not take his eyes off Nas and keep to solid boxing so he wasn't caught with one of those insane leaping ko punches.

But hey, if the only guy to beat you is someone like Barerra, I'd say you're doing well as a boxer - shame he never came back from the loss

Oh no, I know he isn't a keyboard warrior. If anything, he is one of the few guys that knows what he is saying and for the most part consistently posts well thought out threads. If anything, guys like him are one of the only reasons I keep posting on these forums.

Wow, that sounded kind of gay...

And yes, I would trust a bunch of old guys that sit and talk about what they watch too... Well, no I wouldn't. I just meant it from a fighter's perspective, he did everything right to set up his opponents and KO them. If I walk into a Tyson shot one day and then role with a Holyfield shot the next day I am going to say that Tyson had the best shot while the same can be said in the opposite circumstance. It just depends on who is better at setting up his shots and then following through. I don't consider his power spectacular but he was a cut above most other people when it came to setting up his shots. I wasn't really discrediting him, I was pointing out that it is harder to KO better fighters because they protect themselves better. As it is, you see it your way and I see it mine but since you're behind me with a lead pipe I think I'll end this now. Piece!

BTW, "training" can also mean technique. Most people would call that a rest day. Just cause ya'll seemed confused about it.
