Haiyan survivors to Pacquiao: Help us

[gWaPito]

like marmite gaWaPito some people don't rate him as a legend, some do,

i do, your right he was one of a kind, I watched all his fights on tv, he beat some very good boxers, 37 fights, 36 wins, 31 by knock out ! , 1 loss

maybe if he didn't show-boat so much and maybe the fame, money and training finally got to him, , i wonder what he would have become if freddie Roach was his coach and things would have ended differently , maybe everyone would have considered him as one of the all time greats

Quite possibly Joe. Such is life, it amounts to being there at the right time

I remember the night Naz got beat, it was sad..he was good for the sport.

Chris Eubank was another hero of mine. We got to blame him for Sky taking quailty boxing off terrestial TV..that guy was so exciting to watch..he got the crowd against him with all his posing and whatnot..he loved all that..He was a showman, alright
Chris Eubank at his best with 11,000 fans against him

They were good boxing years . How about that Hagler and Minter fight at Wembly hahaha...it was raining beer cans in that ring

Naz always looked good in the U.K..Brilliant and very confident showman.. His confidence seemed to dwain a bit after the Kevin Kelly fight in the U.S and he knew he had stepped up in class..Great fight that IMO..
Unfortunately his next step up really exposed him to the best there was at the time.. But I reckon even Barrera at his best would have been no match for Pacquiao.. Naz would have got a good beating against the Pacman in his prime..
Still..As Naz says.."I was bloody good" !

[joebloggs]

yes he was bloody good on his flying carpet
as they said he never reached his potential

Naz was unique and very effective in the way he boxed if you can call it that. Retired early at 28 with his last fight being after his only loss. He claims he retired because of a hand injury but maybe he realised he had been found out and it was a case of saving face.
