Was Prince Naseem all-round the most consistently exciting fighter ever?

Using justin beiber to hold floyds belt was up there but not as good. Someone needs to get the gundam style guy to do their ring entrance before its not funny anymore.

And the Barrera fight was a great win for Barrera, again the Prince had got overconfident by that time to the point that Emanuel Steward actually left him! But that fight was entertaining. Hamed kept trying to land bombs but because he hadn't trained properly Barrera could see them coming a mile off. That was an entertaining fight.
The Soto fight was for his WBC title, I though Naz put on a great performance against the Vet.

He was pure excitement.
I can understand if you hated him at the time as that was the aim of his game and what made him so much money but if you can't even enjoy the excitement Hamed brought to the sport even now, long after he's retired then that's your loss.
Whilst his resume may not contain a truck load of ATG's it certainly isn't as bad as it's made out to be on this forum. He has some decent names on there but admittedly no ATG's on his win list but some solid contenders.
The ring walks, the interviews, the freakish one punch KO power he had, the flip over the rope, all that together equalled a great deal of excitement, and if your someone like me who just wants to be entertained then you'd appreciate how good he was for the sport of Boxing.
How i wish someone like Hamed would come along now and add that spark into Boxing again.

For me, Tyson would come 2nd. Not a showman, but his ferocity and reputation in and out of the ring made him exciting. Then he became a freakshow.
But Hamed, as an entertainer, show man, talker and KO fighter had it all.
A vid i made.
