Naseem Hamed "I took boxing to a standard that can't really be reached"

How can anybody be a fan of this smug idiot?

 

B.a.r.r.e.r.a

 

The Prince did bring a lot of attention to the lower weights while he was active. You can't deny that.

 

This. :good

 

Only fools and haters wouldn't agree.

 

Great great talent yet probably didnt show all his talent.Takes me back to teenage years staying up with excitement waiting for naz to take somebody out.

His fight against kelley was immense.And his performance against a good if not great champion in robinson at such young age was incredible.

People go on about his punch power yet think people forget about his chin.Sure he got put down a lot but looking back most of the times he got put down were when he was swinging from obscure positions and was caught off balance.

Personally i think if had fought barrera two years earlier there might have been different outcome as had stopped trying and had huge hand issues by the time of fight.or maybe just one of my favourite ever fighters and just want to believe that!lol

Weird that ryan rhodes his old gym buddy has only just finished his career yet naz has been gone for years.Either way great for the sport the attention he brought.

 

In terms of entertainment value, defiantly.

 

King Hamed And Khan!!

 

I miss Naz more than any fighter,a Naz fight was such a huge event,I remember ordering a Naz ppv and the days before the fight id be in school buzzing,waiting for it..

 

In terms of bringing boxing to the masses,then yes, he brought it to another level in Britain and to an extent in America.

Ive always found it a pity,that he retired so young. People forget that he had only just turned 27 when he fought Barrera.

Conceiveably,his best years were ahead of him

 

It's an insult to Nas to put these two names in the same sentence. :hat

 

Its actually a very good interview.

 

And now he's bringing binging to a whole new standard.

 

No doubt about it he was bloody good!
