Naz looked poor against a european class featherweight, and was getting bowled over by top class featherweights four and more years ago.Kilburn wrote:I agree Hatton is probably too big an ask but I wouldn't discount Naz from holding his own in world class at lightweight. Far stranger things have happened in boxing.
Naz didn't look great by his standards last time but to be fair he won by a virtual shut-out against the European champion. It wasn't all bad news. Calvo would have given the present day Nicky Cook plenty to think about and enough people tip Cook to topple Scott Harrison one day.
Nicky Cook is still improving, and the point is that Naz was obviously well in decline by the time he got to Calvo.
I'm with Ian on this one, Naz has been through all this bollocks before claiming he is coming back, who could forget him twice yanking Brodie's chain, and John Shep was surely not making it up when he said Naz was coming back.
My guess is that Naz likes the idea of it, but when push comes to shove and he starts having to do roadwork, press ups and all that jazz, his desire for a comeback soon evaporates.
As for the court case, I think this has no bearing on it whatsoever. Why would the judge care about his career, when it is well known that Naz is a multi millionnaire.
If I were a betting man, I would bet on this coming to absolutely fornicate all.
