Hamed was entertaining to watch, all of his fights were worth watching especially the Barrera one. If Hamed trained properly and really had focused on boxing who knows how good he could have been. Fights with Morales, JMM, Pacman and the other great stars would have been good for boxing. Its a shame that he left the game with so much potential
I could have cared less what race he was Prince naseem was pure entertainment, I remember he use to call out floyd all the time, I wonder what would have happened had they ever fought. It might endup like MAB but with his unorthdox style maybe he could have confused mayweather.
ppl say what they want about hamed. but theres one thing for sure, hes probably one of the fighters, that u can ALWAYS give a punchers chance. if u notice every times hes been down, its not like hes staggered like crazy or anything, hes back up in a sec, and he shakes it off like nothing. mostly due to his balance problems, but tht was his style.
And in every fight he was knocked down he repaid them double. Yea I enjoyed his fights (I only saw like 1 or 2 and I was really young but damn I thought he was a badass). Back flipping into the ring?? Who puts on a show like him now??
The guy was a fraud though in a way. He just tried copying his hero's Eubank and Herol Graham, both of whom are thought of in Britain more highly than Hamed.
Prince naseem was never staggered from any punch, he was just always off balance and would lean back. He had a chin of iron and the only times he went down from punches were because he was off balance.
He had a mouth bigger than Mayweather, he was one flaboyant little bugger, and i loved it when he was beat by Barrera. I dont think he was from pakistan, i think he was england born with yemin descent. For a long time it was rumored he would make a comeback. Maybe Hearns come back will encourage him.
The Kelley fight was his most exciting fight, but not his best performance. I'd agree with the others that listed the Robinson fight. Maybe the Tom Johnson fight as well.
Johnson was like 45 years old. Not hard to look good againstr that piece of stale toast.
