Naseem Hamed's future if he didn't retire

Morales would have raped him

 

He wouldn't have beaten Morales, Pacqauio or Marquez but they would have been great fights. It's a shame that he hung up his gloves just when he was getting some real competition.

 

Pain

 

Hamed cashed out. Selfishly. After he got his cloak of invincibility stripped, brutally, he was less a man. Less a fighter. But he could have gotten that back. Roy Jones is living proof it can leave forever however. It goes both ways. Maybe Hamed knew something.

 

More loses.

I actually think he got out at the right time. His style couldn't be successful anymore at the highest level at that stage. His hunger and desire had gone and his hands where f*cked.

Unfortunately America never got to see the best Naseem Hamed. What a character!

 

He had bad hands?

 

He was the type of fighter that was afraid to lose. Sure enough, one loss ended his career.

 

@Leon. Yep, they were a mess by the time of the Barrera fight and he didn't think to dip them in milk ala Foyd, LOL!

Oh, he was around 28 when he called it a day.

 

Naseem was being protected by his team.. for 2 years they avoided the Mandatory which was JMM and vacated title just to avoid.

They took Barrera because they thought he was less skilled then JMM...


LOL to bad for him.

 

would have problably gotten beat by any other quality opponent he would have faced.

 

Naseem would have destroyed pacman

 

Hamed would have lost to all the great FW's of the time, Morales, JMM and Pacquiao would have all beaten him even worse than Barrera did.
