Why do so many people dislike Naseem Hamed

[Dynamite Kid]

People dislike him for obvious reasons.

Maybe the question is how can anyone deny he was great to watch. Love him or hate him, he was like the bastard child of Gatti, Mayweather and Camacho. (that would explain the ugliness!!).

His claim to be so great and the big splash he made when he was fighting, combined with his good but not great opposition and being beaten soundly by Barrera, then running off with all his money makes people feel like he was all mouth and shouldnt be given the respect he actually deserves.

Good post

However, im in the minority that believes regardless of how he spoke out of tune and showed his limitations as a fighters and a person, i still have to judge him on his merits and his merits are not reflective of the poor opinion people hold of him as a fighter.

I think because of his face.... great fighter though

You like Floyd Mayweather

That's actually not true. Most AMericans don't like FLoyd Mayweather. His biigest draw is as a villian. He even said so... people come to see me lose.

Oh this is easy. He is a childish jerk! I don't have to like him because he was entertaining in the ring (which I admit he was).
