This is a legit Hall of Famer you are talking about here. He did things to excellent Featherweight champions and borderline Hall of Famers (Vázquez should be in) than nobody else had ever done before. Barrera is another Hall of Famer who smartly countered him to death, particularly because by then Naz had become too enamored with his power and could be countered silly by someone with the discipline and smarts to do so, like Barrera. This piece makes Hamed seem like some overhyped clown with no substance. I enjoy your pro wrestling writing, but holy shit do I find this piece way off base.
If I learned anything from the t-shirt kiosk at the mall, it’s hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

To be fair Naz wasn't training like he should. I'm not saying he would have won, but he was past his prime - some fighters just flame young.
