Why did naseem hamed retire so early?

[Sugarj]

That's the reasons that for me longevity is so important when measuring the best of the best. Hard getting there, harder staying there. Don't know with Naz can't put my finger on it. That defeat seemed to finish him and to paraphrase things like that don't build character they reveal it.

Yea, he had been world class for six years though which isn't terrible. He certainly had plenty of title defenses/title fights between Robinson and Barrera. His activity level wasn't too shabby compared with the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiou who we see once or at most twice a year.

One thing that concerned me about his 'character' was that he apparently fled the scene after crashing his car and badly injuring that guy. I guess no one knows what they'd do in those circumstances and God forbid that it never happens to anyone close, but I'm sure that wouldn't be my response.

Hater
*****
*******
Gayweather

The guy basically unified the division he was fighting in

Have fun flipping burgers and telling everyone how you know everything

[fitefanSHO]

Use any one of those terms one single time and I will never take you seriously or respect you as a real fan. It's just that simple, as much as I HATE those low class, disrespectful expressions; I am half grateful they exist so that I can more easily sort out the real fans from the idiots.

Wow, you have nothing.

I hate him just a little more knowing he has a ***** like you in his corner.

Barrera took his heart, and he had become decadent as **** in lifestyle.

Dude made his bread and split, retired at 28 young while he had a net worth of 50 million. Y'all a bunch of salty haters lol.
