    Will Prince Naseem Hamed ever Fight again ?

    He's out of jail now.

    Love him or hate him, he's a character and brings a lot to the sport.

    I'd love to see him fight a few more times.

    What do you guys think ? Anyone know some inside info on whether Hamed intends to fight again ?

    He'll never fight again...
    His last fight was appaling..

    Too long out the ring and he's lost the drive..since his defeat..

    Zero chance of making a succesful come back

        he keeps saying he`s gonna come back, but lets face the facts...he weights near 180 pounds now....and if he indeed comes back, he will be no where near as good!

          I agree. It would be extremely unlikely that Hamed would be capable of making a successful come back, and if so, when he did come up against half-decent opposition he would run the risk of losing embarrassingly to someone who wouldn't have stood a chance with Hamed in the past.
          I'm not implying that Hamed doesn't have the desire to fight, but does he still have the desire to train? He can't cut corners as he was alleged to have been doing with his training in the latter part of his career (and possibly throughout most) and he is also carrying that extra timber which would be hard to shift.
          Hamed still holds a fascination for fight fans, and despite the points i have made i would love to see him make a come back, but i wouldn't want to see him lose to second rate opponents which i feel would be possible.

            he is finished....end of story. as you said he has put too much weight on to even compete. i wasn't a big fan back in the day, but he relied on his speed, and with the weight he is at now then his plus skills.....the skills that made him are long gone.

              He won't come back which is a shame.

              One of my favourite fighters and a pioneer in why I got into the sport of boxing.

                  its so weird how he only ever lost 1 fight,he was always off balance,and fought like a drunken monkey,he had the worse style ever,he relied on reflexes mostly,however he did have power and speed

                  and nah,he wont come back,i doubt it anyway,he would get knocked the **** out anyway

                    I was into his career when he was around but i couldnt care one way or the other now about what he does. If he wants to box, then it is up to him, but i doubt he'd be any good.
                    I havent got a clue what he was up to in the later part of his career. Some people just havent got the determination not to mess themselves up and their legacy.
