    Seeing as you find it so funny maybe next time he can drive into you at 90mph.

    You have no point though, like him or not prince naseem was an immensely talented man and nothing but good for british boxing. You didn't enjoy the kelley fight?

    Its not that I have no point, its just that you missed it, thats all.

    As for the kelley fight, of course I enjoyed it. In fact, I enjoyed Naz full stop.
    Great character & exciting fighter. British boxing still misses him to this day.
    ****, heres an old story of mine that I have told on here a few times through the years, about how an old pal of mine was a Naz fan. Well, he just happened to work with his boss who happened to know Naz personally, so one day my pal was working away in the kitchen of a cafe in Glasgow, & hes told theres a phone call for him. So he goes to the phone, & its Naz on the other end of the phone! Naz talks away to my pal who was pretty dumbstruck for a good while, & then sends my pal t-shirts & a Naz video!

    Class act or what.

    Sadly for me though I didnt get to know my pal until a while after that happened, & I was pretty ****in jealous hearing about it, especially as he was just a casual boxing fan, which made it worse!

    Naz's wit was razor sharp, he was a world class operator, & hes responsible for getting millions of fans into boxing, all I am saying is that he wasnt an ATG like many misty eyed people here make him out to be cos the guys wit was even quicker than his punches!
    There will never be another like Naz on these shores, but lets not get too misty eyed about his actual ability, thats always been my argument.

    I agree. He wasn't an ATG fighter, but he was an ATG entertainer. A lot of fun to watch.

    I love stories like that, I bet that your mate remains made up about that today!!!

    I don't think he's the greatest of all time but he was an extreme natural talent especially when you look at power and reflex speed. It's unfortunate that he became lazy in training and excessive with his wealth/entourage for what should have been his defining fight.
