Serious Question?!

What ever happened to Naseem Hamed? I really liked watching that guy box. I thought he had some unique skills inside the ring. The long time off hurt him, but hell, he should have been able to improve and get right back up there. Did officialy retire after the Calvo firght or what?

he was kidnapped by aliens, sent to pluto

He was EXPOSED by Barrera and he faded into obscurity like a little ***** never to return.

exactly. you beat me to the punch. what happened to naseem happened to trinidad on his comeback trail. this shows what happens when a puncher fights a top class boxer.

He hasn't retired officially but is as good as, he's currently walking around at cruiserweight enjoying the odd game of snooker in sheffield. Every few months there is talk of a comeback but it's bull****.
Barrera broke his heart and ruined his fighting spirit, he looked like **** against calvo, he's a multi millionaire and has a very good looking wife and 3 kids so i very much doubt he'd fight again, the hunger has long gone.

a former featherweight as a cruiserweight??
wtf he over...

Once the unbeaten record was gone, so was his will to go on.

What you need to do is to speak with DLT, he is the boxingscene expert on NAZ.

My humble opinion is simple Naz was a ***** who never had one defining win in his career. Sure Paul Ingle was tough but he was never close to an A fighter, Tom Johnson was old as was Soto and Kelley-his laundry list of b and c level fighters was overlooked by far too many (DLT).

He fought 1 great fighter and lost, instead of trying again he let his body of work speak for itself...someone should have told him that his body of work was ****, who knows if that would have happened maybe he would have rebounded or at the very least tried again.
