Why did Naseem Hamed retire at 28?

[Ekscape]

he was already rich and had no hunger for the sport anymore...

[Ryannn]

barrera spanking him.

[BOLLOCKS]

Because he felt like it.

[MONEYMAY-]

Because he got exposed by Barrera.

[El Jesus]

He said recently that he had hand injuries.

I think he simply just lost a lot of his desire to fight. He made plenty of money and I hadn't heard any stories about him spending too much of it, so there was apparently no financial necessities for him to continue fighting.

yea, nobody was buying that hand injury ****, i mean, like you i followed his career for awhile and at the point of his retirement, nobody was sayin anything about no ****in hand injuries like a mayweather/leonard/calzhage etc

lol @ him announcing repeated comebacks on btalk and never following through

[MexicanMauler]

[Canadian Kid]

he said during his career he was breaking his hands, i cant remember who it was but he even KOd 1 opponent with a broken hand.

[Shabba Rank$]

He lost a lot of his confidence after the Barrera fight.

It all went downhill from there.

[SonOfCuba]

he didn't retire, Barrera retired him !
