Why hasn't Prince Naseem Hamed been inducted in the HOF yet?

yeah I say let him in

 

All in good time.

 

He'll get in, but not everyone should get there the first time. Some guys have been waiting for decades, while Hamed is still pretty young to be inducted.

 

I'm sure he will be.

 

He deserves to be there,if gatti got in based on him being the most exciting fighter of his generation then Naz deserves to get in for sure..

 

He should get in eventually but yeah, he was never a first ballot HOFer type guy.

 

People will come and talk **** about him getting beat by Barrera. But in all fairness, it's been pointed out many times that by that point, he was losing the motivation to train 100% for fights. I think the fame & money got to his head and he just thought more about being a celebrity than putting in the work in the gym. It's a dead shame him and Ingle parted ways, as I feel that they had the best trainer/fighter partnership going at that time.

 

:huh

:nut

That isn't much at all. Hamed could probably have made 122 had he been disciplined.

None of the cards were 115-113, never mind all three. The fight was competitive in parts but Barrera clearly was the better man.

Probably, especially with the watered down standards of the day. Lengthy unbeaten streak, wins over several titlists, and if you want to get into the "Fame" aspect he does tick all of the boxes in terms of being an attraction and making his mark.

The lack of a career-defining win, and the decisive loss to the only great fighter he stepped in the ring with, work against him. For these reasons he is someone who will get in when the time is right, rather than being the first-balloter his talent deserved.

 

Given their personalities and egos it was inevitable that they would split. The relationship had essentially broken down before the public cracks appeared.

 

If I was Nas i'd want to lose a few pounds before getting inducted

Imagine that turning up to the induction ceremony? "Now introducing Prince Naseem former heavyweiggg....featherweight champion!"

He'll be there, there are just LOADS and LOADS of other boxers who deserve more recognition. But his time will come.

 

And rather than inducting them, the HOF is busy inducting Stallone and Joe Cortez.

 

Prince will definitely be in the Hall of Fame.

One of my favourite fighters of all time.

 

If he doesn't get inducted for his achievements, he will still get in for his "ringwalks".

You don't seriously believe that do you?!
