His hype was certainly well deserved. I dont quite know what you mean by overdone and cheesy unless you're talking about his entrances, which are a seperate matter.
I personally believe that Naz was a very good boxer, who never achieved his potential of being great. Its no secret that during the latter part of his career he got complacent and neglected his training. If he had worked on his defence a little more and taken his training more seriously who knows what more he could have achieved. Not that dominating your division and holding four major world titles is a small feat.
the entrances, the guest rap on records, and his major world titles, were they really world titles? u know what I mean.
We are saying the same thing basically, that he did not achieve what may have been possible, you attribute it to him being complacent later, and my point is that I dont know if it was because he was compalcant and if he was not he would have reached those possibilities, my point is that its an assumption and I dont know that comapred to the competition in other areas, that even if he had not gotten complacent he would have achieved more.
we dont know whether he had more talent and he just did not apply it, or whether he had reached the limit of his talent.
I am saying that we dont know if he was that great because we did not see that no matter what the reasons
