Prince Naseem: hall of fame!

[The_Demon]

Of course he should be in there,anybody who says otherwise either hasnt seen him fight,doesnt realize what he did for the lower weightclasses,or is just a blind hater

If he was a yank or a mexican he would be in there by now,but its no surprise he isnt too well liked across the pond-He's british,he's a ****** and he was a loudmouth,doesnt change what he achieved in the ring though,Naz is a fucking legend

Has anyone looked at the HOF inductees list?

No doubt Hamed belongs there.

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

Actually we love the British. Its just that The Prince was a hype job that lost once he stepped up and then quit. He was nothing special. ****y and a punch doesnt make you world class if you never beat anyone.

Hamed retired in 2002 so has been elgible since 2007 im guessing.

Hamed is an ATG for sure. He is one of the hardest hitting fighters P4P. Better than Hearns and Lewis according to Manny Steward. He was the legit champ at featherweight maing 14 defences of his title. He beat numerous world champions and top contenders.

Kostya is a HOFer but I disagree that hes better than Naz. Tszyu lost to far worse opposition and was stopped twice. P4P wise Naz is the far superior fighter.

Holy **** to this whole post...****ing wow...

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?

You can when you're from Europe. They support you whether you're a bum or not and thats a compliment to them.

He was ok. I wouldnt be a tragedy if he doesnt get in anytime soon.
I think he is in the hip hop hall of fame for dance.

He's right. If tszyu is questionable then he doesnt stand a chance of gettin in.

On pure talent, Naz was up there with the very best, but his technique was horribly flawed.

The guy would throw shots jumping across the ring in mid air. He fought with both hands at his sides and stuck his chin out, he never blocked punches and his defence was based on leaning back usually against guys that had a fair reach advantage on him.

He was always gonna struggle against the absolute best fighters that fought properly, but to beat the guys he did fighting the way he did was a great feat. He always fought to entertain and putting on show was just as if not more important than getting the win.

Naz was also very short for 126, most guys he fought where a fair bit taller than him. Could of been a great at 118 but jumped up for the bigger money fights.

Should definately be in the HOF afterall boxong is as much about entertainment as anything else.

Also lol at the Lewis v Hamad P4P fight, how cute would a 126lb Lennox be ?

if you know anything about boxing you would know prince naseem is an absolute joke.. he gets destroyed by any real fighter and is a disgrace to the fight game.. its just common fans who dont know **** like yourself who think hes good.

He will be inducted im sure. He was the man when he was around even if it was a short time. But the the way he beat the people he did beat made people acknowledge him and his abilities. He wasnt ignored when he was actually fighting, so why ignore him when he is retired?

He did ruin it with the barrerra fight, but there could be many reasons for that loss. Barreara is class anyway and on his day could beat just about anyone.
