Prince Naseem: hall of fame!

[cklmaced]

Cos he's minted???

And I reckon there are a hell of a lot more former boxers who aren't on TV analysising fights than the one's who are on TV.


Why's Tyson a special case? If you are going on personal life why is it ignored in Tyson's case?

Well Tyson changed boxing forever and Nas did what ?I just saw a poll of best British boxers here and Nas wasn't on it. 10 years later few remember apart from true boxing fans. If you asked people who Naz was they probably say isn't he that rapper guy.

If Nas was as popular as you say he would definatly be on TV or are Lewis and RJJ broke and need the money.

You weigh up their achievements and you pick who you think is more deserving, you don't pick who you 'like' best like Dirt said, this isn't ****ing blind date.

If you're judging who should go in you should be completely unbiased, I thought that much was common sense.

In every sport they are people who should be in the HOF but aren't and Naz certainly isn't one who people should be complaining deserve to be. Im obviously not the only one who doesn't think he should be in as he hasn't been voted in yet. But I guess a guy on an internet forum knows more than a panel of experts.

Tyson did no more for the sport than Hamed did. Hamed made the lower weight classes popular.

Not all former boxers are TV pundits for the money. Some enjoy doing it.

Hamed is a family man which is one of the reasons he retired early from boxing, so he could spend more time with his family. He does still attend fights from time to time and gives interviews if asked..

Naz changed boxing. He brought attention to the lower weights. He paved the way for guys like Pacquaio

What does him being on TV have to do with anything? What is the relevance? You go off on some weird ass tangents

SMH you are clearly an idiot if you think Naz did more for boxing than Tyson did. I think Barrera and Morales did a lot more than Naz did.

out of curiosity, who is eligible for the HOF next year who weren't this year, and what other noteable possible inductives like Nas havent been included yet?

ie. who are the main contenders to get in in the next ballot?

Jess Willard is in the HOF, try and convince me what Jess did is more then Naz did please and what these experts see in him over Naz.
Should be ****ing hilarious.

I guess a guy on the internet who thinks who you 'like' should be in the HOF and has no knowledge of boxing is arguing about something he doesn't know.

I go off on weird tangents?this coming from the guy who brought up Blind Date on a boxing forum. Nas was big in Britain and did little in the states I think most Americans would recognise Barrera and Morales I bet they don't remember Naz.

Naz did little in the states?

He was one of HBO's premier stars.

Way to fcking own yourself Willard qualifies as an old timer meaning his last bout had to be before 1942.Naz would have to qualify in the modern section.
