Naseem Hamed Reveals The "Real Reason" He Retired

[WESS]

Pnh=bamf!!!!!!!

Naz got me into boxing and is without a doubt my favourite fighter of all time,
cant see why he didnt say this earlier tho

[karrapato]

Every fighter that got a sick punch power in lower weights will have hand problems.

A decent bantamweight got a "387.2 lbs" punch power. Each time it hits someone face their hand get the same power back.

1º Newton's first Law - Each action one reaction.

Now, just imagine that a BantamWeight can hit even harder than "387.2lbs"

Naz was my fave boxer when he was around. But he lied when he said hes making a comeback. WHos to say he isnt fibbing about the hand trouble?
He might have had problems in the past, but his hands were ok when he fought barreara. There was no mention of not being able to hit full power and stuff.

[MafiosA]

so the fact that barerra took him to school has nothing to do with it????
he may have had hand troubles, but why wait 7 years, he just knew marales would have done the same to him, and jmm and pac would have followed, he had already made enough money and already a decent enough record..

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

I'm gonna be honest here.

I think he gave up before his hands did.

[elgaringo]

I always thought it was something to do with 9/11 and how he used to push his ****** faith and that **** wasn't very cool after the attacks.

that definately crossed my mind while all the was goin on cos he was always shovin his religion down your throug before and after his fights n that would not have gone down well esspecially in america.

and Naz is way too stuborn to tone any of his thoughts, beliefs and personality down!!

[Stoppage]

It kind of makes sense seeing as his last two fights he didn't knockdown anyone. But I don't know why it took so long to reveal that.

[Ray*]

It's lame that they would give him that kind of special treatment before a prize fight, It's one thing if he has a shirt that says "Praise Allah" or that he mentions it in his post fight interview but the fact they give him the floor just to spout that **** off was lame as ****. It was funny though that Lampley kind of made fun of it at the end of Hamed/Barrera and Foreman got pissed saying "You better cool it on that"

I still dont understand why people get sensitive when a fighter is "praising God or Allah"....Doesnt disturb anyone whether you're a believer or not and whatever is said isnt going to convert you in those 1 or 2 minutes.

[Savino]

the reason why i started watching boxing. There will never be another prince naseem.
Understandable his hands kept breaking concidering how hard he hit. If only he could have lasted 3 more years.
Morales, JMM, Pac - would have been great fights.

Naz was the reason I started watching Boxing when I was a youngster. Remember watching him on ITV when was about 6 or 7. I used to try stay awake and watch his fights.

still have arguements about Naz to this very day.
