Naseem Hamed was the youngest Britain ever to become a world champion, and now he can show the hallmark of his class by helping Amir Khan to better it.
The two men are somewhat similar and also drastically different. Both are devout ******s who have grown up in Britain and are proud of their country. Both have captured the public’s imagination with the richness of their natural talent and precocious brilliance. Both are heroes and role models for their own communities, but are admired by the whole country and the world at large.
Although he has a royal surname, eighteen-year-old Amir is quiet, modest and down to earth. While Naseem adopted a royal mantle with his nickname of Prince, often strutting around adorned with cloak of regal distain, a bit like a potentate. Naseem had purists gritting their teeth and gnashing their gums, with his unorthodox handicraft, while Amir’s more conventional skills won him an Olympic silver medal.
There was no doubting Naseem’s talent and lion hearted courage, the lad had guts. Back in 1995 as a 21 year old, he breezed on to the Cardiff turf of Steve Robinson, and proved he wasn’t a usurper, by pulling off a stunning eighth round knockout in front of a suitably stunned home town crowd. He gave his subjects full notice of his talent.
