He wasnt a southpaw, He switched, and is right handed. All His best work came from the right side, both ways.
[ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naseem_Hamed[/ame] This says he was southpaw. EDIT: so does this - http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=4462&cat=boxer
Hamed was a southpaw , yes he switch hit, but he was naturally a southpaw. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about.
What evidence do you have to the contrary Scrap? I've provided two sources, do you have anything to offer?
LOL I'm sorry but that is pretty difficult for you to verify. I'm not debating that he was right handed, I have no idea one way or the other, but according to watching his fights, which many here can attest to, and the online sources I posted, Naseem is a southpaw. It is no different to Joe Frazier fighting orthodox, while reportedly being left handed.
He switched, watch His fights when He went southpaw it was to stop the other guy from working and to tempt Him. When he switched thats when usually He went to work, and capitiliesd on the other guys frustration. Thats why Barrera stood of while He was southpaw and waited. Soon as he switched Barrera was on Him, Most of Brendans lads are switch hitters.
onepunch scrap is a veteran professional trainer here in the uk from the same place as naz. and if any of you guys ever watched naz fight his knockouts came from right hands.
Yeah, and alot of Tyson's knockouts came from left hooks. It doesn't prove anything. Neither does Scrap's apparent prestige. Whatever Scrap says, until he finds a way to prove Naseem was not a southpaw, I will continue to go with the numerous online sources citing him as such.
scrap knows the ingle family very well, they trained naz. scrap wouldn't allow it or i would have posted videos of him and his fighters, he is a VERY well known coach in the uk.
oh by the way you do know anyone can edit wikipedia and anyone can apply to be an editor for boxrec right?
Of course, but anyone can write anything anywhere in any official source. I would like to reiterate that I'm not outright calling scrap a liar, I'm saying that he has no way of proving his assertion, and in the light of that, which goes against what is considered common knowledge, I will not simply accept his word.
