Prime Naseem, Would he still be king in this era?

[Cardinal Buck]

I don't think he would've done worse than a split. And he may well have beaten Barrera at his peak.

i dont think prince was overrated. just off the top of my head he beat tom johnson, medina, kelley, bungu, mccullough, ingle, augie sanchez, mighta even been the guy to wreck augie. u might say thhem guys were past prime but they sho could still fight n he beat them all, wilfredo vaszqez too. again some, mayb most of his effectivenes was in how weird he fought but u cant really say nothin about someone who keep winning like he did. i hated his silly ass too n loved it when barrera socked him in midair during that fight but i give credit where its due

Hamed peaked earlier in his career when Brendon Ingle was his trainer. When he foolishly used two co-trainers his performances declined. He became very wealthy and lost his hunger that he had when he was young. Maybe physically Hamed could have performed, but his heart wasn't in it. That's why he quit after a lethargic win in Europe. He knew the fire was gone. And I'm saying this as a fan of Hamed and someone who believes he should already be in the HOF.

**** on, he had the potential to be better than he was, but fame money and all the materialistic needs of life took over his boxing. He should very well be a HOF because like him or hate him you tuned in to watch him fight, and he gave you your moneys worth

Well according to this article, he's the 10th greatest fighter of all time:

So obviously he'd be unstoppable in this or any other era.

Just went there. That has got to be the worst TOP 10 list I've ever seen.

10. The Prince
9. Larry Holmes
8. JCC
7. Lennox Lewis
6. George Foreman
5. Rocky Marciano
4. Manny Pacquiao
3. SRR
2. Muhammad Ali
1. Jack Johnson

I'm assuming that you posted that list for giggles and laughs and not as validation that Naseem was an ATG fighter.

I did post it for giggles and laughs. Having Hamed at #10 is absurd.

He's #2 or #3 at the worst.

Yeah. I can see that. Just behind Emanuel Augustus.

That's spot on and completely objective.

Haters are gonna hate here, but I can't see any reason why Farid Ahmed would hold any favourable bias towards Naseem Hamed.

Good research!

Not sure if he would be 'king' but he would certainly one of the top fighters,i can't see any reason why he wouldn't,he only lost to Barrera who was better than anyone around today,and he sparked plenty of good competition
