Was Naseem Hamed an ATG or Overrated?

Pretty overrated during his peak. Hes a hall of famer but ATG i don’t think so. His resume isnt deep at all.

 

He's not an ATG and was certainly overhyped when active, but hard-core fans can underestimate his resume nowadays.

I have him #19 all time at FW and based on purely numbers, he has a superior record vs ranked FW contenders, than almost anyone outside my all time top 10.

 

Spectacular fighter, nearly unrivaled highlight reel, came up short in his moment. All-timer but not what he could have been. You can argue him out of all-time status, but why? I'm keeping the rope-flipping KO artist on my list 100%

 

ATG

 

Great fighters don’t take their ball and go home when things don’t go their way.

They get back on the horse when they get thrown. Naz didn’t have the minerals.

You wanna play, you gotta get in the sandbox. MAB ran him out of the sandbox and he didn’t wanna play anymore.

O-VER-RA-TED.

 

Witter is still around.

 

Hamed lost his confidence after that. That Barrera fight was humiliating. That and his Muslim act wasn't popular right after the 9/11 / 2001 terrorist attacks. Strutting around the ring yelling Allah Akbar wasn't exactly in Vogue at the moment.

 

Witter is underrated.
String of good wins, only lost to Judah in his prime. Was older than Pacquiao was when they both lost to Bradley.
