    Seems to have come about just because they're both of pakistani origin.

    Firstly, their attitudes are completely different. Khan embraces multi culturalism, whereas Hamed was all about being a muslim and making that clear.

    Secondly, Hamed's ego was huge. Personally I think he was funny, but he was also possbly the cockiest guy in boxing history.


    And most importantly, their styles are not similar. Hamed was the most unorthodox fighter I've seen, Khan is a much more conventional boxer. Khan doesn't showboat, whereas Hamed lived for showboating. Talk of a 'Barrera style boxing lesson' are wide of the mark, because Barrera used basic skills to show up Hamed's unusual style.....Khan doesn't have a weird style to be exposed, if he loses it's a loss like any other.

    Seriously, the any type of comparison needs to stop, they're muslim, of pakistani origin and english fighters......that's where any real likenesses end.

    Hamed was of Yemen origin. Plus I felt Hamed only really started to bring the religious element into it later on in his career although he did make references to it through out. I agree with the rest though.

    Naseem Hamed isn't Pakistani at all....his family was from Yemen in the Middle East....theyre both Muslim but not of Pakistani origin. So get your facts right.

    Well Khan's entrance is getting more and more like the Prince' entrance ... so there is another likenes :)

    They lifestyle out of the ring is also pretty simular - "I'm the king of the world - lifestyle" with a big hird of hang arounds and so on...

    The point still stands, if anything, you've strengthened the point, they literally have nothing in common.

    Plus Prince Naseem had a Sheffield accent and an Irish trainer so that's pretty multicultural in my book.....Hamed was way more exciting to watch than Khan

    Dont know what to say really i think it is khan who compares himself to hamed more than anybody else. I think he was certainly one of his role models growing up, and anybody else who compares them would just be using the race card as well as the age card.

    He can't do anything about his accent, he did his best to speak 'asian ghetto' though. Wouldn't call having a Sheffield accent supporting multi culturalism. :rofl

    Hamed was more exciting, but that style proved to be his undoing.

    Being more concerned about his entrance for the Barrera fight than Barrera himself didn't help either.

    Let hope he doesn't (or does for some) go the same way.

    The music goes so well.:lol:
