The Truth about Prince Naseem Hamed.

He was a crap dancer....looked a real spazmo.....his driving was good though...

 

Great post, Naz was the man and deserves respect. Not an ATG, but a lock HOF'er.

 

A short, but spectacular career. He's the Sandy Koufax of boxing, a very short reign on the top, but it was wonderful while it lasted.

 

great post El C!!!!

Packing out Madison Sq, Flying carpets and somersaults.

Knock out power in both hands.

 

Great post. I've always said this before and I'll say it again, it's very hard to give a complete judgement of Hamed's career, simply because he never had a complete career! <---- I can't emphasize this enough, because the truth is, he left his career unfinished. There were so many pages waiting to be fulfilled, but infortunately at the age of only 27, he lost his love for the game, and disregarded the incredible natural gifts he posessed.

 

- He lost his physical/athletic gifts at 27 - those cat like reflexes have a limited lifespan.

- When you have those natural abilities - you don't really consider learning a different style. But, once those gifts deteriorated - he was asking for a wooping.

- But I enjoyed him in his prime.

 

What a legend this guy was, he was by far the most exciting fighter out there. He actually MEANT it when he said he was gonna knock a guy out and you could see it in his movements and punches that he wanted to obliterate the other guy LOL. And to achieve so much at such a young age leaves no doubt about his legacy as it is. Could have achieved a lot more.

 

Just wondering What makes him short of an ATG. Resume? Skills? Etc etc

thanks for the great post el C here in the UK Naz was fun to watch

 

IMO. he would have to have owned one or more of the four people that called him out in his prime: Morales, Barrera, Mayweather and Marquez.

Its a role that he could and should have took.

 

The lighter divisions were weaker then. But that doesn't change the fact Naz dominated them.

 

Yet the WBA gave Hamed the belt later on .
