Prince Naseem Hamed Ducking?

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by ThereIsOnlyOne, May 28, 2012.

  1. Watching the Corralles Mayweather fight there and noticed in the post fight interview Floyd said he want Prince Naseem to which Larry Merchant replied, he isn't going to fight you Floyd, not after watching this. Now i know this must have been towards the end of Naseems career but the answer made me wonder, was Naseem known as a ducker even during his years at the top?

    larry is a ****...he discredits all british fighters, always has. he was slagging off bruno for no reason at all during one fight. calling him 'unispirational'...a guy who works his arse off to become world champion is 'uninspirational' to larry...if they are british.

    Mayweather offered a fight to Hamed at a catchweight of 128 to which Hamed replied,"How many times do you want me to move up?" JMM was Hamed's #1 contender for almost 2 years and finally Hamed "offered" a fight to Marquez trying to rush him into the ring at short notice.

    Hamed was a small feather.

    He would be even smaller one weight above

    So Why would he move up?

    The only time The Prince ducked something was when he was ducking punches from his opponents with his trademark slickness

    This :deal

    Yeah the story goes that Hamed tried to low ball Marquez at late notice and make it look like JMM was ducking him instead when he obviously turned it down.

    I loved watching Hamed and I was entertained greatly by him but it was so nice to see a man like MAB take him apart in the end. The ultimate ending like cumming after an orgy that you really enjoyed but were getting bored of and your dick was starting to hurt.

    Power doesnt have anything to do with size.

    Tyson was a small HW and he was knocking guys that towered over him out in the 80's.

    Theres countless examples of this.

    then what does it have to do with him not going up 4 pounds? :lol:

    you just shot holes in your point. you just said size means nothing if you have power, yet he is too small to go up to the next weight division....

    ummmmm ok......

    Excuse for what dumbass?

    At 126 he was a bigger star than Floyd and he was making more money than Floyd while fighting guys closer to his side.

    So why the **** should he move up?

    Instead of worrying about Hamed and how much money Hamed was making why didnt your boyfriend move up to face a prime Shane Mosley?

    Mayweather would have embarrassed Hamed, and Hamed knew it.
