      BTW Hamed always talked about a comeback but the problem is he never did come back. The loss shattered his confidence and spirit.


      if it was just about excitement then Gatti and Ward would be ATGs

        He only lost once. Most great fighters have losses.
        Hamed dominated his division and lost to a good, if not great fighter. That's not to say he doesn't deserve to be an ATG.

          Ok, I will make an exception for you and place him in my top ten all time.

            I thought Hamed was entertaining. He was good for boxing.

              Naseem Hamed isn't even close to being considered a top 10 great. You have an arguement for top 10 featherweight of all time but he just doesnt have the names on his resume to back it up. Plus he got beat at like 27 or whatever and never came back...

              Then again Naz is one of the most naturally gifted fighters I've ever seen. It's true what he says about himself he really would have been something to remember if he had stuck around and cleaned up his division. He was only just hitting his prime years but he was well done by then.

              The fact he never really came back is one of the biggest shames in boxing history...

                I agree, to bad he left his fans in the dust while one of them drags under his vehicle.

                  The only place I see in Hamed in the ATG list is a downgrade of Jorge Paez. He's half entertaining.

                    Har har!

                    That bit was classic.

                      More shameful is the fact that he borrowed my mum's hoover and didn't even return it.
