I know he retired when he was 28 or 29 but I am wondering what is this guy up to these days???
Does he have his own gym? gives out private lessons to teach his own style like karo parisyan? or is he still living from the money he made from his hey days???
One hell of a fighter could have been even better and he even had an anime character based after him!
Invested in oil and a sh!t load of properties in Sheffield. Think him and ronnie fowler own a huge majority of that city. Both invested wisely and both are filthy rich!
Thats good investment, good to know his not broke like most boxers...
The Prince was awesome. Real shame that he fell out of love with the sport towards the Barrerra fight. Could have been a real star in the game had he carried on.
I remember him calling out Floyd or Floyd calling him out back in the day. Imagine that fight back then. Would have been awesome.
He's got a property business. He invested his money wisely instead of going all out, he made around £40 mill in his career. Still, he claims hes not officially "retired" and was planning a comeback in 2005, and 2008 but then he had court cases which came up
He lives in Virginia Water in Surrey (UK). Near Wentworth Estate/Golf course. I know a few people that are members their, and have seen him with his sons who are learning how to play golf. My friend saw him eating in Nando's last year with his family. But he must still have a hell of a lot of money to live around that area, it is very expensive, and Wentworth is one of the most prestigous and historic golf courses in Europe. It costs like £15,000 to be a member, and £6,000 a year.
I dont think he gives a shhhhh about losing to Barerra, last i heard he spents his days earning g's and playing golf in some rich ass place in America. He lives that lifestyle while people here seem to ive theirs by mentioning how he lost one fight, lol.
He also has a very bad ass anime character based after him to!!!
Dude had style!

Watching the fight now. Hamed was a joke come on'... I remember Barrera as a real Mexican warrior.. Dont remember to many excuses, but i never really paid to much attention to his interviews.. All fighters make excuses when they lose, im sure he did as he lost a handful of times.. I know this is off subject but Manny is the only fighter that makes excuses when he wins.. Still feeling the Marquez fight lol..
Whatever man, atleast naseem hamed didnt make 13484104108 excuses like barerral always does!
Glad you mention'd Hamed , been wanting to watch the Barrera fight, downloading now. Love when Barrera pushes his head into the post..

I like the Ippo reference.
Lol thanks love that show and bryan hawk and the speed star have amazing footwork even though bryan is more brawler then boxer
Anyway I would have loved to see naseem hamed vs ricardo lopez...unorthdox vs conventional!
