Why did Naseem Hamed retire at 28?

[Bright-Eyes]

Lol Tom johnson was 33/34 at the time he fought Naz, and obviously past his best. Kevin kelley was also way past his best.

Dont know that much about him but i seen him fight live, he was obviously coming to the end of the road then. That was some time before the naz fight.

[-EAGLE-]

cuz he faced 1 good fighter in his carreer (Barrera) and he got owned. (joke).

i think because of the money.

[Pension-Killer]

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

He had a few hands problems actually.

One of his come back fights was with a guy who he beat with a few punches. That mentions he broke his hand.

Also after Calzaghe elft Frank Warren, Frank also mentioned Naz had a lot of hand problems but always had confidence while Calzaghe was always a sceptic with his injuries and hand problems.

That being said, Naz was not hungry for it for sure. He didn't take anyone seriously by then.

he had that ****ty showing in his last fight in england and showed no motivation for continuing, his training habits worsened and he didnt show any motivation, without the mind the body just a pile of fat, which is what he became.

Thats about the top and bottom of it
