its official! JMM ducked naseem hamed!

[Earl-Hickey]

Yeah, i can belive it, still it doesn't change anything really does it.

[Zarco]

who did he fight those 2 years jmm was the mandatory?

they might not be as good as jmm with hindsight but at the time they were ranked higher than jmm.

hamed fought a lot of top ranked guys.

none of them had lasting names though that's why people think hamed fought nobodies.

fact is those times marquez was his mandatory , he fought guys who people ranked higher than marquez.

now we can say marquez was way better than them but that wasn't the case back then.

lol, how were they ranked higher if marquez was his mandatory?

funny thing about those ranked fighters you speak of is that the WBO was the IBO of the 90's. and even then, we all know ratings are ****, would mayweather get off the hook for fighting saul alvarez because hes ranked #5 at welterweight by the WBC?

he should have took the fight. it wasn't less than one month notice either. he had a little bit more time than that.

and it wasn't a ****ty paycheck. it was more than he was making at the time.

ignacio said it was $400,000 and it wasn't enough.

haha, where is your proof for that? HUH TUA?! HUH???

[Glamour Puss]

Besides Dap, who said that?

I'll buy Hamed cuz Steward openly admitted it, tho it may have been his duck more than Naz'.

Max Kellerman, Emmanuel Steward, Rich Marotta.....

I posted the clips of them saying it.

Shall I bumpeth the thread??

Nobody wanted any part of JMM in his prime. Plain and simple. Like nobody will fight Sergio Martinez right now.

Too good, not enough reward.

[Thread Stealer]

They talked about this on the HBO Countdown to Marquez-Barrera.

At first, Hamed and his management weren't exactly eager to face Marquez. Then later, they did offer him a fight, but Marquez (by the choice of Nacho) rejected the offer.

I like how EM finally decided he wanted to come back and fight JMM.

Last year, after he was all washed up and had no big money fights.

Heheheheheehe...

Better late than never I guess.
