Being a product of the same Sheffield gym, Hamed was obviously very influenced by Herol Graham. If you watch any of Herol's fights, there's a good chance you will see the young Hamed in the ring celebrating at the end.
IMO, Hamed took everything that was bad and flawed about Graham, copied it and made it work by having huge power. By rights, it should have been a disaster.
Watch Bomber's fight against Kronk's Lindell Holmes, when Graham became Thomas Hearns' mandatory. You see Naseem in the ring after the fight, he had kind of medium black hair all brushed to one side and a cute little smile, and he was tiny. It's weird to see Manny Steward and Naseem Hamed standing next to eachother in the ring, like 20 years ago.
