Flashback: Hamed-Kelley trash-talking

Hardly anyone thought he was funny at the time. Hilarious to see this...people dont know what they got till its gone. Look what happened when Lewis left.

 

Money would **** all over Naz's so called "charisma". If Naz was so funny and charismatic why didn't HBO give him a 24/7 show? Money single handidly created that show and helped HBO bring in casual viewers worldwide.

 

there was no 24/7 show at that time.The 24/7 **** is modern and ties within all the reality tv crap!Think about it!
Naz was from the UK and made noise over here and there in the US.

 

difference was naz's charisma was there for everyone to see, floyd needed a show for people to see his charisma

 

Bull ****ing ****! Genius, Money's natural charisma and swag is what lead to HBO begging him to do the show.:deal

 

I thought he was hilarious at the time..As a 14/15 year old at the time i thought this **** was funny as hell. The guy was pure entertainment for me!

 

Hamed was a real good boxing heel. Great at being the guy you love to hate.

I wish he had fought longer, partially because I feel deprived at not having been able to see him take a ten count or get stopped.

I also wish we could've seen him in fights with McKinney or Espinosa.

 

And Naz wishes he was a fraction as good as Floyd.

 

Nah, don't forget, Hamed was "unbeatable" and "unhittable" in his prime before he got lazy post-Ingle. Especially against Manuel Medina, he showed great defense there while those right hands were knocking the mouthpiece out of him or when he getting dropped against Kevin Kelley & Daniel Alicea.

 

Naz was never unbeatable or unhittable, but at his best he was damned good. Better than a lot of people give him credit for. He got a boxing lesson from Barrera, but, if I'm going to be honest, he had degraded quite a bit by that point. (I think he was at his sharpest at bantamweight, generally.) You don't even have to take my word for it -- you can watch the footage of his sparring sessions in the leadup to the Barrera fight in The Little Prince, The Big Fight documentary. Should be up on Youtube. His sparring was horrible to watch -- he was getting tangled up, throwing punches that the sparring partners could see coming from miles away, just looking for one big shot, etc. Steward expressed his clear displeasure with Hamed's form directly to the camera, too...he knew what was coming, and he was very unsettled.

I think if Hamed had fought Barrera back during the time of the Robinson fight, things could have been much more interesting. But if any version of Hamed fought that later, polished version of Barrera, he'd probably lose every time. Just a very, very bad style match up for him.

This isn't even the point, anyway...the point was his personality and theatrical antics. And to the person that compared Floyd to Naz...that's a joke. I don't think Floyd even HAS charisma in the first place -- he just puts on his thug act, and rarely does a good job of performing it properly. With Hamed, his arrogance just oozed out of every pore, every single word he spoke showed so much self-belief. His ring entrances make Floyd look like a very prim, proper little schoolboy. Even the way he entered the ring (the infamous flip) pretty much said everything without him needing to. Floyd is a fantastic boxer, far more skilled and accomplished than Hamed was, but he doesn't come even close to the entertainment the Prince provided.

 

Naz is LEGEND
Pure entertainment amazing talent
Boxing misses him.

 

hamed comes across as a ***** in this video
he looks like he wants to **** kevin right then and there

"Calm down"

"Aiiight"

 

Theres loads of revisionist history out there about that Naz\Barrerra fight. Yeah he lost and Barrrerra generally dominated, but it was no blowout... not by any means.
Do you know what the judges scored it?
