Prince Naseem: hall of fame!

Firstly thats merely an opinion regardless.

Secondly, he was clearly not thinking straight when he said this. Infact, when did he say this?

There is no reasonable argument for Hamed being greater than Tommy Hearns or Lennox Lewis, none. Regardless to what their trainer said.

Hes said it in interviews that Naz hit hardest out of all fighters hes trained. I think you have misread what I typed earlier.

How is there no reasonable argument that hameds greater than Lewis ? Lewis was KOed by Rahman and Mcall.

You got a link for that? I thought you meant greater as you said 'better than' but obvioulsy you meant better power.

Lewis is greater than Hamed. Absolutely no question.

He got KO'd by Rahman and Mcall. Ok....So?

Again, debatable. People have always been fascinated by the HWs regardless of Tyson. Naz was a prime reason for the smaller weights getting attention.

Tyson is probably in the top 3 most famous boxers of all time and is one of the most famous people of all-time aswell, theres no contest.

Hes in the top 2. I was really talking about fame though. Maybe I worded it wrong.

Naz would win by KO if he fought Lewis in a P4P fight.

Yet you think Lewis is greater ? I disagree, Lewis was never as good as Naz. Naz would never get KOed by a Mcall or a Rahman.

It's not too difficult to tell who is a harder puncher in real terms but in a pound for pound sense its next to impossible, Steward would not be able to interpret it properly just with his senses, to think his word is an accurate measure is absurd, especially a guy who is known to play fast and loose with his 'honest opinions'.

Manny Steward knows his stuff. You might not be able to judge punching power, but Steward is a professional boxing trainer. He trains Wlad Klitscko and Cotto right now and hes trained loads of other past champions and contenders.

Naz could punch hard, all boxing experts will tell you that.

I have read some real abserd things on this forum. Some strange, and some outright moronic.

But Hamed KO'ing Lennox Lewis just takes the cake.

Insanity. The only possible explanation.

Some people dont rate Naseem and yet they are comparing him to the likes of Tyson...do people do this this Sven Otke's career?
Naseem without doubt should be in the HOF, there really is no argument considering what hes achieved.

[PrinceNaz88]

Hamed did a hell of a lot for the lower weight classes and should be in the HOF.

A lot of people don't seem to appreciate that though and many seem to base his whole career on losing 8-4 on points to an ATG Barrera. Hamed is a "fraud" etc springs to mind..

People may have hated the ****iness and arrogrance but personally I loved it. Just pure excitement and drama every fight!

Definitely has a good enough resume to be in the HOF.

Hes in the top 2. I was really talking about fame though. Maybe I worded it wrong.

I wanted to put top 2 but was hesitant because of Louis especially against Schmeling and since I wasn't alive at the time its hard to gage. At the moment Tyson and Ali are definately the 2 most famous.

Manny Steward knows his stuff. You might not be able to judge punching power, but Steward is a professional boxing trainer. He trains Wlad Klitscko and Cotto right now and hes trained loads of other past champions and contenders.

Naz could punch hard, all boxing experts will tell you that.

He wouldn't be able to accurately determine who was the stronger puncher for each pound they weighed, just think about it for a second.

He said P4P which isn't outrageous but I do hate P4P fights.
