There has never been a Euro fighter as BIG as Prince Naseem Hamed

american fights take place on sunday mornings about 4 to 5 am start time the norm for a european audience , which means that virtually only americans watch live american boxing outside the few diehard boxing fans like you get on here.

 

yep, hamed was a complete jackass and mostly hype. great job by barrera ridding the boxing world of the terrorist.

 

He was pretty good at boxing actually. Not too many featherweights who could handle prime Barrera.

 

Uhhh, Lennox Lewis?

 

Because he danced like a jerkoff

 

Ricky Hatton says hello.

Was Hamed that embarrassed by the Barrera loss? It was just a loss. But also one of the greatest tooljobs in the history of boxing.

Barrera made him look like such a lower class of a fighter.

Did Hamed really quit because he knew that he was nowhere near Barrera's level?

 

He knew that if he couldn't beat mab, all there were left was beatdowns. Think about him facing morales or jmm back then, pac or fmj.

 

Now that Mayweather has retired, which American fighters are making more money than their top Euro counterparts?

Let's also remember Ricky Hatton made basically as much as Mayweather and Pac did in the fights with them.

 

That's because every Englishman in the Britain was in the pub during Hatton fights. They loved Hatton.

I never understood why Froch didn't receive the same appreciation and support that Hatton did. They were both good for TV.

 

It's between Hamed and Hatton, no doubt about it!

 

The best Euro fighter is an Arab lol

 

hamed only came unstuck at atg level, theres no shame in that, others did like Minter, Bruno and Hatton, good but flawed guys like joe calzaghe and david haye would have failed too if they'd dared to try the same or had an opponent to do so against.

He was categorically world class, elite, and a respectable non-backdoor entry in HoF. people should be ashamed to call him anything less.

He is not however an ATG, categorically that level was beyond him.

 

This is an excellent post. Nobody else gets so much flak for being unable to handle ATG quality fighters besides Hamed.

He was thoroughly out of his league against Barrera. The same 99.99% of other boxers too.

No shame in that.
