Naseem Hamed Best British Fighter Ever?

Exposed?

How does one get "exposed" by an ATG who beat him on points and never once had him in trouble.

Even then,it wasnt a shut out.

I think Naz had mentally checked out of boxing before that fight.

He didnt seem to care too much that he lost even, which is odd for someone of his ego

 

No, I know, but I think that feeling I'm describing was still there. I don't think he dealt with the loss well.

 

Hamed got too big headed, went into the Barrera fight looking for the one punch KO and forgot about boxing., schoolboy error.

Barrera out thought him and out fought him.

Hamed got out while the going was good, with the like of Morales, Marquez and Pacquiao just around the corner, could have had a few more defeats if he would have continued.

In fact he ducked Marquez, or Steward advised him not to take that fight.

 

I agree that it wasn't a shut out but his ego was too big to allow his loss to make him a better fighter. Perhaps "exposed" was the wrong word but my point is about how he felt about it not what actually happened. I definitely think he cared, a lot.

 

Well against Calvo, he went back to his boxing, won via a shut out and then got booed by the British crowd, supportive as ever.:shock:

 

He did say he avoided southpaws.

 

Should never have left Ingle.

Serves him right.

 

They might be British in context of history but in modern day they are Welsh and they don't like being called british and don't like the English too much seen as we call them sheep shaggers.

 

Speaking of Naz,yes he was exciting. A heavy hitting, crowd pleaser ,good ring IQ , heart and a mouth-what was there not to like? I remember discussing him with a real ex-contender, an uncle a few months before Barrera.
He said,Naz had a balance problem that would be his undoing. He allowed Naz' power but reiterated a fatal flaw in his technique-improper balance. Btw,at the '68 Kenya boxing trials he knocked out his junior welter opponent as a 16 year old. His dad got wind and said,'no son of mine is a thug!,'and he couldn't go,but his oppo came back with a bronze or silver.
Check it out how Naz was schooled from the first round knockdown.

so who are british then? because the scottish dont like the english either so therefore the only country that is british is england....which means britain doesnt exist then in your theory! Only England, Wales and Scotland.

 

So you speak for the entire welsh nation:nut

What percentage of the Welsh want to leave the Union?

 

Probably the most talented fighter ever, yes. But not the best. Lennox Lewis takes the mantle for that.
