The Truth about Prince Naseem Hamed.

Agree wholeheartedly.
Not an atg certainly but definetely a hof level fighter. He's grossly underestimated mainly due to his obnoxious personality.
Don't expect many sensible reactions on the gf however.

 

:thumbsup

Would've been all four at feather had Vazquez not been stripped.

 

great post,agree with everything you said..

 

Good point,and thats a guy that truly had 1 punch KO power, with a better training team who knows what he could of done

 

He gets bashed alot cause of how Barerra handled him. But thatr doesn't change the career you just laid out.... He was a beast and great to watch, one of my faves in the 90's.. i always tuned in to watch Naz.

 

Plus they guy walked away with £70 mill when it was 2$ to the £!!

Plus I think he was possibly the hardest hitting Featherweight of all time

 

What are you talking about, Steward ruined Hameds career and Stewards supposedly one of the best trainers.atsch

 

Great post.

 

Excellent post man
I was a fan of Hamed's as he was coming up, but grew tired of his cockiness later on and cheered on as MAB kicked his ass. But I always respected him as a fighter and that has grown as time has passed and I got the chance to rewatch all his fights. No one brought as much power and excitement to the lower weight classes as he did. He would've been tough for anyone at feather with his awkward style and the power he possessed. He clearly overlooked MAB thinking he was just going walk through him and knock him out, and he got taught a lesson by one of the best boxers of our time. One bad loss doesn't erase the great career he had. Just a pity he never tried to change the impression people got of him after that loss

 

He sure could talk some **** too... Long Live THE PRINCE!!!

 

- The 'Obnoxious personality' helped him in a way. It was funny, and helped him gain the fans who genuinely liked him.

- But, I think it (his obnoxious personality) offended the majority - meaning they saw him a very bad light.

 

Along with Tyson, the two fighters that bring a tear to my eye with what could have been...

 

Are there any HOF fighters/contenders in this list? ABC titles are dudu. I still laugh to this day when Barrera shoved this clown into the corner post. Barrera stopped this circus act for good.

 

Agreed, Steward changed Hamed's style way too much for that fight and took away his natural speed and aggression.

Steward is as **** a trainer as you'll get. I don't know how he has had the career he's had.
