Happy Birthday Nassem Hamed

Excellent fighter with a lot of charisma. He was the UK Mayweather in one sense.

Would have loved to see Hamed vs Pacquiao at the lower weights.

 

Fun & unorthodox boxer to watch, with superb power.

As a person though, an utter dick....

"Hamed was convicted of dangerous driving in May 2006 after the McLaren Mercedes sports car he was driving at 90mph smashed into another vehicle, leaving the driver with every major bone in his body broken and injuries to his brain. Rescuers said his physical state was "like soup".

The court was told that Anthony Burgin's "fantastic life" was destroyed by the crash. Witnesses said Hamed had been driving "like a maniac". He fled the scene as Mr Burgin and his wife Claire lay trapped in the wreckage of their car. He was arrested near his home as he tried to leave in another high-powered sports car. He served 16 weeks of his 15-month sentence and was released in September. He had previously been banned from driving after speeding at more than 100mph."

 

Awesome to watch. Everyone knew him.
One of the most exciting fighters ever.

 

Yep.... Just mentioned him in other post....

Hated his arrogance at the time.... But looking back such good value and always entertained

 

I miss the little ****er... Happy bday Naz.

Classic Naz

 

It seems all he has done the last 20 years is eating. Unfortunately since I felt he had more in him.

 

I am sure he will enjoy eating his birthday cake.....

 

For me he gets slightly underrated due to his cocky persona, he made like 15 title defences didn't he ? And beat a host of solid world class fighters. Hes also arguably the hardest hitting Featherweight of all time, I personally wasn't a fan of his but I respect his achievements inside the ring. Unfortunately he left the sport in a bad way which made him look worse overall IMO, but still a great fighter in his prime.

 

Was held back by Warren and fought MAB when he lost his hunger.

A prime Naz at 122-126 right now would be magnificent. Inoue, Donaire, Lara, Fulton, Murod, Wood, Conlan, all great matches.

The greatest Showman of all time, good thing he stayed away from Floyd tho, because that wouldnt have ended so pretty.
