    I know this has probley been done a million times on this site but im new to this so bare with me....But how good do you lot think naseem could of been?

    I ask because he was the reason i got into boxing and a hero of mine at a young age and to see his career go the way it did it pisses me off when i think about!! He won the euro title after something like 11 fights beatin someone who had only lost a world title fight on a split decision but nas beat him easily.
    He had the world at his feet and it looked like britain was going to get its first modern day ATG but something went wrong.
    I know someone very well who was a big part of wincobank in those early nas days and he told me that people dont realise how early nas stopped puttin 100% effort into his training. Instead of flying up to featherweight to take robinsons wbo starp he had the talent to take on better world champs at even bantam or super bantam, the whole nas not been able to make the weight anymore thing was simply because he was nt willin to put the effort in.
    It just makes me think what a massive waste of talent he was im sure he does nt give a **** sat in his mansion but he could of been a genuine legend of his sport!!!

    He had one of the worst boxing IQs I've ever seen from a champion.Makes me laugh when his supporters use the excuse that he wasn't the same when he left Ingle because he had zero boxing IQ when he was with Ingle.

    He could've been great. Top 3 right under Keaton.

    Just kidding. He wasn't funny at all.

    Well for starters he does not warrant 3 exclamation points.....actually he does not even deserve one...perhaps a semicolon....wait.....no, he is a colon: Thats right, I said it Prince Naseem Hamed is a colon:

    Oh, I think there are more fitting parts of the human anatomy that you could compare him to...as a matter of fact you refrence one of them later in your post. Hamed was many things but a waist is not among them!

    The guy was such a dick he turned this into a freudian slip thread.

    He moved up to fight Robinson because ****** felt it an easy title IIRC, not because he couldn't make weight.

    Britain's hardest P4P puncher IMO. I give him the nod over Wilde simply because there's no footage of Wilde sparking anyone.

    How good could he have been? Prime Naz would have knocked Pacquaio spark out at FW and he would have beat MAB if it the brawling MAB of 97 showed up. A counter punching Barrera was just the wrong style for him

    It was easy to make because Robinson was under contract with W@rren, plus W@rren had a deal that Robinson would fight his next price for a set price. Robinson got screwed over being fed to Naz for small change

    Naz would have done nasty things to Zaragoza if they pushed the mandatory through though

    I'd favour Naz at his very best to beat 126lb Pacquiao as well, PP, both down and plenty of fireworks.

    I think he basically reached his potential, which is to say he could have beaten everyone he met apart from Barrera.
