    Prince Naseem: hall of fame!

    Having just watched a documentary on the prince, i'm left wondering why he isn't being inducted into the boxing HOF.

    37 fights, 36 wins and 31 KO's.

    People argue that he never really fought world class opponents untill Barrera, but he made close to £40 Million in his career! You don't make that sort of money if ur only fighting bums.

    He had one of the hardest punches, and even though he was very ****y, he was extremely entertaining! he has had run ins with the law which may count against him,but as a fan i would love to see him as a hall of Famer. At the end of the day he did transcend the sport to a certain extent and isn't that what the Hof is all about. It not only about ur record right?


    Anyway i'm obviously a fan, but i would like to know what u guys think, should he be inducted? how good was he?

      He would be inducted for sure, What he did for the lower weights would not be forgotten, thanks to him people actually paid a remote interest in any fight under 147.

        I hope he will be inducted. It's just Americans who can't stand British try to downgrade his achievements.

              Cos Tyson's lifted his first belt earlier?

              Its just a matter of time and the Prince gets inducted.

                    Prince Naz gets a lot of hate and is one of the most underappreciated fighters. When you're as good as Naz and you're not afraid to be mouthy about it, haters will spawn.

                    He is a sure in for the HOF, it's just a matter of time. I could watch Naz anytime and the sport sure could use a guy like him. Like he said "Who else could call the knockout, come in on a flying carpet, and STILL SCORE THE KNOCKOUT, MAN!?"

                    "Let meh breav' Larray!"

                    "Daaaamn, I'm loookin goooood."
