I think it's very good of this gentleman, with respect to everyone, to tell the ordinary, everyday working man who incidentally keeps everything going and ship shape, what really happens, how things really are. Thankyou, and great respect to this gentleman. And he is a gentleman. That absolutely doesn't need explaining.

Love this gym and the stories

[@James-b7p2k]

I like Johnny Nelsons honesty respect this man totally

[@andybaker8956]

That’s what made him great 👍🏻

That’s the Arab in Naz. Hate to generalise but it’s true.

[@omanvictory4011]

As a London cab driver I pick arabs up all the time. They all really nice people and give nice tips and never moan. These are saudis and other oil rich arabs. Maybe the Yemeni ones are different. But arabs are a huge group like Europeans. French are rude and Scandinavians are nice. Cant generalise a whole racial group.

Racist fucker

[@crichtonhamilton7775]

I don't like him, Barrera slapped him around , and he deserved it

[@Leonidas6674]

He had a shitty camp and went into vamp after hand surgery and didnt have ingle he underestimated barrera and his arrogance beat him. We can agree to disagee but a hamed under the guidance of brendan ingle would of smashed barrera. Oscar Suarez fucked up nasseems whole style trying to make him a boxer late in his carreer. He was a natural power striker he was never a textbook boxer he has his own style designed by ingle

[@PatkaBoy831]

Naz under Ingle struggled with Manuel Medina and Wayne McCullough. He always had issues with technically gifted fighters. No version of Hamed beats Barrera.

[@dappakhan9812]

@@PatkaBoy831 he beat Wayne all 12 rounds boxed his head with ease and Manuel Medina he was ill bt still won. He was in terrible shape for Barrera fight bt still lost by on 3 rounds. Aread Naz would have smashed Barrera

[@cleehomes]

I loved Barrera but I still say Naz had much much more natural talent and power but his ego got the better of him, his preperation for the Barrera fight was terrible and he was surrounded by "yes men" instead of Ingle! I would have loved to see a prime and focussed Naz vs Barrera, it would have been a great fight but sadly that possibility has passed us all by! If only Naz would have been as professional as Barrera!!!

Commentaire en français merci

[@MAZ732]

Great insight from a great boxer, but of course Naz denies he was a twat!

[@jackjonson2696]

Yes he is a show off for doing that a very bad person an complete show off. A total geek. Nowere near as good as barerra an them other boxers. He got Alot of respect for the liittle he did. But then start pushing around anyone who he could an showing off
