You can be a plank at times. Actually quite often.

Just in case anyone actually believes this, it's not true.

Wish he would come back! My favourite boxer, pure entertainment and funny as feck. Loved his style of fighting, his showboating, his pre and post speeches lol. Cant imagine there will ever be another boxer like Hamed.

He said that in 2005, but no signs of him yet!!!!
He's just trying to keep his name in lights: I don't believe that he has the stomach for a fight these days.

I'd pay to see Barrera bounce his head off the turnbuckle again.
Boing!

Mate he is not trying anything. He was more interested in Ryan, but was asked the question and played along. Just as funny as ever.

OK, thankyou.
I never heard him speak; I thought it was a serious statement.

:P

Indeed.. Boxing seems dead without guys like him and Tyson.
No Charisma left

This is why there is such a frenzy around David Haye.
The charisma has gone out of boxing & when someone with a charisma & an exciting style comes along, we tend to get a bit excited.

Christ there are some naive people around.
Naz's tongue was firmly in his cheek, full of irony and sarcasm, the very type of humour only we Brits get - or at least I thought.
Yeah Naz wants to be back - as a Commentator !
And with all due respect to the others, excluding the brill Johnny Nelson, he'd do a great job.
We're losing all of the charismatic people - and tell you what I'm so pleaed Naz is in Ryan's corner.
You would not believe the response we've had from Europe and even over the pond to his performance.
I had to ask why ?
It was only a domestic match up for a domestic title and ok, a great performance. The Naz factor, that's why.

Looks like Tyson has been dining at the same 'all you can eat' restaurants as Naz:

Well hes retired, wont have fought for years, eating what he wants and probably would have gained fat coming off the stimulants and muscle builders they would have had him on in training camps. Doesnt look quite right though does it?

Tyson had a propensity to 'balloon' between training camps, but it is sad to see the one time 'baddest man on the planet' so bloated.
Hatton beware - could this be the future for the mancunian once his career is over?..

Bet Mike regrets that daft tatoo on his face now.
Nas was funny as hell, he seems to have mellowed a lot as well. I really think he's got half a mind that he might come back as well...he must really miss the limelight - not that I think he will, at least I hope not. Just in the back of his mind, he probably wonders if he can roll back the years - like some of the snooker players he's no doubt watching at the moment.
Then he no doubt remembers that hitting a snooker ball is a lot different than getting hit in the head.

Shows how much he's melowed when he even admitted, in a roundabout way, that Floyd was a better fighter than him.
That was THE dream fight for me in the mid 90's - Naz moving to jr light to take on PBF. Imagine the press conferences!
Looking back though, he probably wouldn't have been able to even hit Floyd.
But.....if he landed one of those howitzers, from an angle Floyd would not have been expecting...well you just never know. I doubt there's a man under 140 who could have taken one of those bombs, and stayed up, even Floyd.

Indeed, he did Stock a Huge Power Punch considering the weight he fought at..
--
As For Tyson, well, Like most HW's after they retire, he has gained a bit of weight.
Would be nice though he does not get TOO Over Weight, like a lot of other boxers who go way way too overweight. Such as Buster Douglas or Bowe

Floyd would have obliterated Naz in the same way MAB did, if not by stoppage.
