Why is hamed not in the Hall of fame?

woulda shoulda coulda

0-1 in PPV fights

 

I think you alraedy know why.:yep

 

Hamed was in no way the fighter Gatti was. He couldn't touch Gatti in skill or heart.:bbb

 

He will get in as a non-participant.

 

Same with Mayorga.atsch

 

You loss me, what are you saying?

 

Hamed's star burnt so quickly. No career defining win, and a complete disappearing act when he called it quits. Add in that he was an arrogant ass and to many it was more "good riddance" than "goodbye."

That said, he will likely eventually get in. Love him or (mostly) hate him, he was must watch TV.

 

:good

You could easy name 100-200 fighters in front of Naz the last 30 years

:deal

 

He'll be in. What a waste. Even MAB was pushing him on to continue his career as they became friends afterwards. Hamed made alot of,$$$ tho esp for a featherweight. He was avging what, like 1 million a fight? MAB was masterful that night, nobody expected a rapidfire counterpuncher that night.

 

spend too much time in england fighting nobodies. then when he fought a known fighter, he lost. it is what it is

 

Hamed couldn't touch Gatti for skill?
Gatti was a competent boxer who is misjudged as nothing but a face-first warrior,but whatever you think of Hamed he had outrageous skills that might have been very unconventional,but were the sort of thing you can't teach.
I have no issue with the bit about heart but you make it sound a bit skewed IMO.
And let's be clear,that's all it is.My opinion.:good

 

There is only around seven or eight fighters from the UK in the hof period. That's bad on it's on, so why would a slot be wasted on Hamed.

 

Beat McCullough, Soto, Kevin Kelley, Vasquez, Augie Sanchez just to name a few, 4 of those 5 were in the U.S.

The IBHOF is an American Organisation, anyway isn't Sylvester Stallone in it? :rofl:roflatsch

 

DM gets in before Hamed!

 

Yeah, he's better than Hamed.
