Prince Naseem legend material or not?

I'd call him more of an Enigma than Legend, sorta like Michael Moorer, a great fighter who didn't become a ring superstar but still made a big impact

Very unorthadox a fighter though IMO

It still guts me that he never reached his potential. He had soooo much talent and potential but he lost it when he got his brothers involved in his business management and dropped his trainer Brendan Ingle. I have no idea where all that power came from, he could have his feet off the ground, be at full stretch and pull a little hook that knocks a fighter off his boots. I weirdly and quite literally bumped into him twice in one week, once outside spar and once outside KFC (He was actually a really nice guy despite me knocking his shopping from his hands.) He was TINY though, you would never of guessed about his power.

So I would put him up against anyone on your list and give him a great chance of beating them. However I think he was mentally gone after barrera.

very good boxer and all the talent in the world, however he was no legend. The man didn't fight the very elite of the division like pacquioa etc. It's pretty weird because i'm really a member of saddo boxing forum and they are disscussing the exact same subject right now.
What a conincidence.

they ripping the p1$$ on there though

I was watching the Kelly fight earlier on this very day (another coincidence)and the second time he knocks Kelly down the punch deosn't even make sense. Where the hell does the power come from? He's just breaking all the rules.

...Hamed was never much to begin with. The only things he really excelled at were being over rated and dancing.

Please stop kissing Naz asz.. The guy was your typical Euro fraud fighter who came and fought a seasoned Mexican warrior and got systematically and mentally chopped down.. He dodged JMM for years, even when he was with Ingle. Stop making excuses for him, you can tell alot about a man by the way he handles defeat.. Nas never had the stuff legends are made out of. Keep telling yourself what you want to hear though!!

Nas and Tito.. This generations most overrated fighters!
