Hamed was the real deal but his own ego got the better of him. He didn't even train properly for the Barrera fight (watch the doc Little Prince Big Fight) and he still went 12 with an (at the time) elite fighter.
Hamed was a victim of his own success - he relied too much on his natural ability at the expense of serious training. Emanuel Steward actually left him after a very short time together because of Hamed's poor training habits.
Hamed could have been a genuine ATG if only he remained dedicated to the sport. But by the time he fought Barrera he was a shadow of his former self.
