Loved Naz but last night kinda put me off him a bit. came across a bit of a bully in his interviews aswell with seeming to thrive on the fact that people didnt know how to take him:)

I'm not sure, after he stopped boxing he kept a low profile

Except when he left that poor sod for dead after driving like an idiot, and got banged up for it.

I love Naz, he's a Legend, but it's easy to distract him - it's a piece of cake!!

Probably booing Nazareth the person rather than Nazareth the boxer.

As a boxer he gave us many memories but the fact that one defeat totally burst his bubble and he was unable to ever recover - characteristics more of a bully than a legend.

Outside of the ring although he can be / was funny, he also can be a proper prick.

I pitched it to one publisher who didn't think it was commercial enough. In a sense the whole Ingle story has been done to death now. And I doubt Naz would be willing to make himself sound overly bad by reliving the dangerous driving/fleeing the scene/prison episode of his life.

surely they would be more demand for it than a herbie hide Johnny nelson book tho

I suppose Nelson and Hide have a much higher media profile than Naz these days. You can nearly count the number of media appearances for Naz on one hand since he retired.

This would usualy bring more interest

Naz is like a real life Kenny fornicating Powers

Superb

I'd just love his view on it all, I mean for all we know, it could be a career related injury that's caused his weight gain. Also, ingle gets painted as a total saint (and I'm sure he is),but I'd like Naz views on why he left,who influenced him etc..... I don't think Brendan was in the right airing their dirty laundry in that book, but I don't doubt Naz was a tit

True that bro........................ or a distain for training, a hate for the gym, a more than comfortable bank balance, magic memories, an amazing family and an in house kebab chef.

not sure abut the spiritually sound bit. granted, I don't know him, but racing away from a man u've half killed doesn't seem a very spiritually sound thing to do. bit judge not and all that....

I agree.

Yeah on the other hand when people become obese, there are issues there every time.

It's not entirely uncommon for a former athlete to lose the impulse or necessity to do any physical exercise when they retire. After all the guy trained hard since he was a small child. I would imagine he can't break the cycle of KFC, ice cream and sedentary games of snooker at home like he's done for years.

are there any other kind? or do you only play, like, Combat Snooker, where you have to hit a bloke at least once with a jab before trying any pot?

I was merely making the point that his life is one filled with lazy activities and no kind of decent diet or exercise.

he needs to get out a bit, take the dog for a walk down the park, take in a bit of fresh air and sunshine.

actually fvck that, Combat Snooker sounds great. my mates are better than me at snooker, I'm better than them at fighting. if i break them down with the jab I reckon I could pot on nearly even terms with half of them.
