Prince Naseem Hamed - showman or all-time great?

[Anthony342]

So all-time great no, showman yes. So I guess then he would be considered an all-time great showman?

Tremendous talent, too much "home cooking" and the showmanship part became the "showingOFF" part and it was boring!! Let boxing remain a serious sport that can have serious consequences!! The skills demonstrated are the "show" not the damn robe or trunks or music!!!! The real deal starts when the first bell rings the other crap is just that........crap! Ray.

Another quick funny.. An altercation once occurred when he ran into Chris Eubank at one of the London airports.. Eubank, or someone with him had made a comment about Naz's oversized Nike trainers, and with reference to his shortness, how they could be seen on his passport photo.. Hamed was reported to have got very upset, and even landed a slap on Eubank.. When quizzed on why he did'nt retaliate, Eubank said in his way, 'That would be bullying, look at him, he'th only a few feet tall.'

According to this list, he's greater than Armstrong, Greb, and Charles:

Great story. Later on when they were both with Frank and they had a press conference, Eubank remarked: "when he walks by me, he should keep his head down like the little man that he is".

Did anyone see the clip of Eubank jumping over the ropes back in the late 80's where a little kid called Naseem Hamed stood by and looked on in awe? So revealing considering Hamed had stated multiple times that Eubank had copied his moves.

With regards to Hamed himself, he's certainly one of the best 126 pounders I think. ATG no.
