Should Naseem Hamed be in the hall of fame?

Was never a fan of his personally (tho he was extremely exciting)...but his accomplishments and his skills make it hard to keep him out. I just wish he wasnt so damn weak willed when it came to coming back from defeat.

Definately in tho...without a question if I had a vote.

I mean, we are talking about a fighter who had 15 consecutive title defenses (16 total major world title wins!!!). Unified on two separate occasions at FW. Holds wins over Kelley, Vazquez, Medina, Mccollough, etc. Plus, regardless of how you feel about the man, its damn near impossible to argue his skillset was insane.

 

:yep

 

Barry McGuigan
Ingemar Johansson
Laszlo Papp (if we're gonna include great amateur boxers in the IBHOF, let's also have Mark Breland, Felix Savon, and Teiflon Stevenson).
Pipino Cuevas
Jess Willard
James Braddock

There are among the weaker IBHOF fighters, IMO.

Of course, I don't know any induction that raises a :roll: more than Jose Suliaman.

 

Like someone said no one wearing leopard print shorts should be a HOFer
The credible reason is that he quit at the old age of 28 after taking a terrible beating by Barrera. Never had the guts to take the rematch that was guaranteed by his contract and quit instead.

 

yes

 

no question in my mind he should be in

 

yes
