Is prince naseem worthy of HOF spot?

[FrankieBruno]

Naz changed the game, as far as putting smaller fighters in the big leagues

His style, his entrances, his mouth made us want to see these little guys fight and because of him they started earning big money

Naz paved the way for the likes Floyd and Pac, never forget that

His hands were shot at the end of his career, Barrera didnt fight a prime Naz thats fore sure, he was avoided by those guys when he was at his most dangerous, they caught him at his worst, horrible shape and fitness, there is a docu that leads up to that fight, and it was evident Naz was not looking good anymore.

[lx!!]

NO!!! The guy is extremely over rated...

[Cleaver]

It's not like the HOF is ridiculously stringent with its inductees, so I'd be more than happy for Hamed to go in for the same reasons people shouted for Ricky Hatton; they both gave a lot to the sport, are former champions and were crossover stars.

How Prince Naseem is not yet in the HOF is a disgarce to the insitution, which is why I neevr pay it much mind anyway. Naz is quite possibly, a top 100 ATG and one of the best featherweights of all time, H2H, he has a great chance against them all.

His power was great, his speed and reflexes truly stunning and his chin/heart without question. The loss against Barrera is often brought up but it was quite obvious from the McCullogh fight on that Nas was maybe not training as hard as he should and his hand troubles, common knowledge amongst British boxing writers, were really affecting him. By the time, almost 2 years later, when Nas stepped into the ring with the great Barrera, he was all but shot. I remember speaking to Colin Hart before the fight and we both agreed that if Naz was not at his best here, he'd get dominated.

I still maintain the fight was not a domination but it was a good, solid performance from Barrera.

In terms of Naz's many, many accomplishments that should have him inducted into the HOF, the stand out is winning every title in featherweight division.

Here is a link to that documentary:

He was awesome. He was risky inside of the ring, but it was something that worked for him and entertained anybody that watched. You could tell by the way he put his whole body into each punch he threw that he was hitting like a ton of bricks. His fast head movement made it almost impossible for most opponents to even hit him.

naz is your typical hyped up british fighter who when it was time to step up to the elite level always gets thoroughly exposed.

Naz - exposed by MAB
Hatton - exposed by Floyd & Pac
David Haye - exposed by Kbro
Froch - exposed by Ward
Khan - lol

I mean who is the best fighter naz beat? a past prime kevin kelley? lol Seriously, people rate naz so high because of his douchey personality. Floyd's a douche but at least he has beaten some people. Naz? come on GTFO.

Brits just have no shame sometimes.

Plus he paralyzed an innocent family man because of his douche bag personality. EFF him and his delusional fanbase.

Naz actually a worthy hall of fame because he brought a lot of new fans to the sport which is the hardest thing to do. He had power tho.

It was Barrera stepping up not Hamed. Hamed was the champion and had been for many years.

Really?

Barrera had held the WBO version of the Superbantamweight title on three occasions amounting to 13 defenses in total and had already fought (lost) to Erik Morales of that time so he was still stepping up?

Yes Hamed was the champion and above him so he was stepping up.
