I hope he dose himself justice and takes it serious, he is in illustrious company in that list so I don't know if im looking forward to it or dreading it.
[url]http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=4462&cat=boxer[/url] :deal Add the entertainment, he was doing what Mayweather dose now with the ring walk and antics,pure box office.
He was strictly a clown without the skills to back it up. Money is a boxing genius. HUGE DIFFERENCE :deal
His talent is what gets him in. Hamed was the type of fighter that rarely comes around displaying speed, power and uncanny reflexes with the ability to land knockout blows from any angle. Combine that with his entertainment value and a good resume by todays standards and it equals the IBOF and rightfully so.
He never hit the number one spot. If memory serves his highest ranking p4p was 3rd or 4th. During his time Roy Jones had a lock on the number one spot with DeLaHoya enjoyong a breif spell at one.
He had a huge amount of natural talent, and 'skills' He just lacked the commitment and dedication to the sport.
