Is Prince Naseem Hamed ever coming back.

[typeone]

"Naz must have stole your girlfriend or summat Typeone!!! for you to hate him so much!!" I dont dislike the guy at all..He was enjoyable to watch every fight I thought even the one rounders.But for me he mouthed off so much about hes the greatest and how is number one.I Don't want hear all that if you can't back it up. And lets be honest he didn't.As for him stealing my wife! There's some things in life you just don't mess with one's a man food the other is his woman.

I was thinking, That maybe Naz will come back and go for Barrea now, It would make sense. Since they last thought its been what 3 years? Barrea has lost a few since then. Prob not at his best, And Naz kicking back and all MMM could take some advantage if he gets back into shape.. You never know..If he can't beat Barrea at the top get him on the way down?

Naz is morelikley to fight Joe calzaghe these days mate , he would never make the weight.

I hated Naz, couldnt stand him but he was and remains the best featherweight of the 1990's. People forget his performances when he was with Ingle. He was a different fighter to the pot shotter that took on MAB.

[hitterwitter]

typeone who was the the number 1 featherweight in the 90's then?

In the 90's he beat the best featherweights out there.

[typeone]

Hitter I'm not saying he was not the best featherweight in the 90's. the deal is you get knocked down you get up again not go and hide in shefield somewhere. If he would have had re-match and lost again I would have more respect for the guy! I aint saying I',m right just telling you guy's how I see it...

fair comment.

[czars_salad]

He was probably the most fun fighter to watch. His antics and his un orthodox fighting style made him very exiting to watch. I heard rumors about him fighting some hungarian guy but nothing else since.

he was probably one of the most arrogant boxer in modern times. can he still make it to the top? i don't think so...

[Palma]

If he did return at what weight would you guys like to see him compete in? I had heard he was way above the 130 mark.

[Gerald]

If Naz returns it will be nothing below 135. Reports are that he has blown up big since leaving the ring, which makes sense given how long he's been away. To keep any of his speed and power he's got to get down to 135 at least - even then I question whether he'll be anything other shadow of the figher he was.

[Ricomania77]

How much has he blown up?
Surely he won't have the punching power he once had when he comes back (whatever that weight might be).

I don't think anyone's got anything concrete - it's just from the few photos people have of Naz now he's effectively retired make him look quite fat.
I agree - no way is he going to carry the same kind of devastating power to 135. Worse for him is that he won't carry the same speed either
