Prince Naseem Hamed's Legacy

[Cletus Funk]

Donald Curry...for a few years, was the best fighter I've ever see.
He foght often, & beat excellent opposition in incredibly impressive fashion. But, he never lived up to his potential, & never fought back from true adversity or struggle.
I don't rate him as a "great" fighter.

He was better & more accomplished than Prince Naseem Hamed ever was. So, don't ever call Hamed a great fighter, as he's not even close.

I don't know that much about Curry so I won't argue with you.

What's your view on his destruction by Honeyghan? Were there any excuses for it made over there?

Let's not forget that Naz was the First man to ever hold all four belts..





He was also HBO's greatest asset. Who sold better on HBO, Naz or Roy Jones? It was Naz. Fair play to the little fella (although a total waste of natural talent)

His entraces were f***ing lame. I never looked forward to watching any of his fights, nor did any of my friends.

you actually have friends?

Yes, I actually have friends

He supposedly was completely drained by the effort to make 147.
Maybe he was....but, he was still absolutely pummelled.
Honeyghan just tore him up.

Hamed's best wins are actually Tom Johnson, Paul Ingle, and Manuel Medina.

His best win was Steve Robinson by miles, nothing compares to that.

Naz's entrances were inspired by the originator of true boxing arena entry - Chris Eubank (Naz's idol, although he doesn't like to admit it).

Another ringing NON-endorsement !
Robinson was a very good fighter (excellent body puncher). But, if he is far & away your best victim.....you are light years away from greatness.

WE KNOW, you redundant bag of wind !

Agreed, but that was Naz at his best (before he became complacent in his training).

prince who? what legacy?

[TRUEVisionDC]

Stateside maybe, but in the UK he'll be remembered for being a ****y little bastard who was a good fighter in the ring, with an awkward style to oppose. Barrera schooled him though.

Isnt that all that matters??
