gonzo Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Naz was fookin brilliant for a time. Could've been on of the greats but it wasn't to be. Proper loved him as a kid and he first for me in to boxing. Ace when he beat robinson. Barrera ended him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted December 19, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2017 I could never take to Naz, his cockiness pissed me off. I suppose back then it was all about Nigel Benn for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper loved him as a kid and he first for me in to boxing. Ace when he beat robinson. Barrera ended him. Same here. Remember sitting up with my old man for fucking hours waiting for a Naz fight (can't remember the opponent). He'd splashed out and paid for it on Sky pay-per-view and Naz knocked him out in about 25 seconds. My dad was fucking fuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Loved the old Naz fights as a kid. Remember about twenty of us used to pile around my friends Mum and Dad's attempt to drink the night away and stay up for the fight. Brilliant nights - and I've no problem with anybody being cocky when they've the talent to back it up. Naz worked because he didn't believe he could be beaten - once he was he'd have never been the same again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then his taunts during the fight, dancing and all that shit. Fucking legend. Probably wasn't one for the purists, but watching as a kid it was like seeing a real life super hero.

Do you remember the one on Halloween where he came out through a graveyard with all the names of the boxers he'd knocked out?

Underpants Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Heard PNH on TalkSport last year. He came over quiet well which surprised me. He was a better fighter than I gave him credit for at the time. His problem was that his fighting style made him easy to hit when up against a decent opponent. He was good but not great.

Duck Egg Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Showed a re run of that benn v McClellan other day awesome fight Loved Naz but that ^ was the best and most brutal fight I'd ever witnessed. The tragic aftermath meant it wasn't replayed for years. Benn was a flawed fighter but he had more balls than any of his British counterparts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasoned Traveller Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I hated Naz, couldn't stand the cocky bastard, until he beat Kevin Kelly, what a fight that was. Watch his fights now, he was off the scale, funny as fuck with all his antics. I went to watch him at The Men v Paul Ingle and wanted Ingle to kill him at the time, Naz was class. There's a good interview with him on Sky somewhere, admitted he made a lot of mistakes, leaving Frank Warren was one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
