Why hasn't Naseem Hamed been inducted into the IBHOF?

its intrinsically embarrassing to submit for entry a prospective member who quit because he couldn't cope with ONE loss. What does that say about the sport? being a first time quitter is not a problem? though hamed may yet still get in of course.

 

He was an ****stani like Amir Khan wasn't he?

 

Hey, what the hell is going on here? You can't say ****stani now. Thats a nationality, someone from or with origins from ****stan. Its not a bloody swear word!

 

Sorry but it's got to be a racist thing his resume is better than others that have got in

 

His resume is better than some, but the likes of Jim Watt could get to the ceremony; Naseem probably would not be able to. That is not racism, it is capitalism...

 

its the fault of the forum software, not that. it edits parts of words as if they are bad words. no joy for fans of Scunnthorpe United then.

 

Individuals vote, you are calling them personally racist.

 

Sign of our times that whenever anyone has a card dealt against them the world screams "racism."

Perhaps they're omitting him from consideration because he's an *******.

 

I think often there is racism involved, just not in this case. That people feel confident enough now to call out racism is a good thing, as it shows a sophisticated development in society.

 

Why hasnt nigel benn been inducted?

 

"Sophisticated development in society" is knowing when it actually applies instead of carpet-bombing with the comment at every turn because they happen to realize the inherent sensationalism of the statement will draw attention.

Maybe that's just me, I dunno....

 

wife beater cheaters money may and calzaghe are arseholes, they are still bound or into it.

its about your boxing legend, solely.

 

Because some racist dickheads use the word P.A.K.I. as an insult to people born in that country.
