Why did Naseem Hamed retire at 28?

[gingeralbino]

Why fight without motivation?

not saying he should've fought without motivation, im saying he should've been motivated to fight these guys! The fights would've been epic.

as stated in my earlier post Nassem was a bit mad and never trained

also have a read of wiki about him

sad thing is a 100% dedicated naz id of picked over mab pac and morales at that time

[Sugar Ram]

even before the barrera fight,when floyd called him out after the corales fight he didint respond..and floyd said he wanted to fight him badly..

naseem was weak as hell. dudes footwork and balance were horrible and he had little fundamentals.

i'll give him credit for being a showman, but he didn't belong with the elites of boxing. he was one of marco barrera's easiest fights as a professional.

I remember seeingg a documentary about naz before the barrera fight and he started to believe his own hype, but without training or doing the work needed to keep him where he was. Also as soon as he got rid of brendan ingle and used that next trainer, i forgot his name, but he started making naz orthodox and he just went backwards!!

I do believe ther 9/11 thing and anti ****** state of the usa did affect his marketability in the states in his own mind esp as he was being quite religious later in his career.. someone needs to dig out that documenatry so everyone can see his training, thoughts and such.. In training he looked terrible and Manny gave his views that he did not look good at all!

Anyone tell me anything about this dude?

he got butthurt by Barrera

[IMDAZED]

Did you see his uninspired performance versus Calvo? Yeah, he might've done the right thing.

Blame the Baby Faced Assasin.

Blame the Baby Faced Assasin.

I think more blame is on Naz himself.
