Is Prince Naseem Hamed a hall of famer??

[Thread Stealer]

tyson had greater achievements than hamed.

tyson's an obvious hall of famer.

i don't mind hamed getting in.

if and when arturo gatti gets in, that's when i'll draw the line.

People who say Hamed shouldnt be in there cannot justify why Tyson should be in there.

a fluke is a one-time thing.

hamed beat world class featherweights for 5 years.

you make it sound like he beat the cream of the crop year after year, his opponents were very carefully selected, the world class fighters were past their best. let me make it simple for you, the first TRULY world class fighter hamed fought completely boxed his ears off and had nh flailing and flapping like a complete amateur. end of.

He friggin quit after getting beat. I say no.

Kostya friggin quit as he was getting beat. I dont hold it against him at all, hes an automatic Hall of Famer.
I dont hold it against Naz either, even though I hate the little bastard.

and it makes me laugh that a fighter isnt a HOF fighter just because they got beat by an all time great, even if they get dominated. If so, say goodbye to Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, and a ****load of other guys.

he beat the best of the featherweight division at the time, except for espinosa.

hamed is hardly the first guy to beat the top guys in a weak division, and some of them are in the hall of fame or will be in the hof soon.
