I was just looking over his record and thinking about some of those fights live ... Personally, I believe that he was an all-time great. Looking down the list, Ruben Castillo, Roger Mayweather, Dwight Pratchett, Rocky Lockridge, Juan LaPorte, Edwin Rosario, Bazooka Limon, Sweet Pete Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, Kostya Tszyu, Macho Camacho, ... Win or lose, controversy or no controversy, those are some incredible opponents to me.

i agree with you.

but many people are just haters around.

if your successful you gotta have hater to know that

Great point. Perhaps the greater a person is, the more haters they get. Thanks!

a true all time great, if he was an american or a Brit he would be a muti-millionaire, Naz Hamed has made more money out of Boxing than the great chavez now is that right.

I believe Hamed made a million before he fought for his first world title. I think alot of his money at first came from the Yemen president (or somone in power from his parents home land). U would know more about that.

As for Chavez, he was great. Just because he fought many opponents that werent that good, he still was an awsome fighter, a great champion with an outstanding record that very few can compare with.

Im not sure who he didnt fight. And no one should critisize his amazing unbeaten run.

i dont know much about Hamed but in arab culture usually there is some support from family and stuff like that.

but i dont think so because they emigrated if he was rich he would have stayed in Yemen

Right on the button.

But then nobody really hates Salvador Sanchez and I think he's greater than JCC.

My dad says the same thing. He loves Chavez but he said Sanchez would have whooped that ass. One thing Chavez haters don't realize is that no one has 80 big fights. Chavez fought the best of his time and the only person you can say he didn't fight was Terry Norris, and yet Terry was at a weight above him during that time.
