Prince naseem hamed the best light boxer ever

[PrinceNaz88]

he was a great entertainer .... but losing to an ATG in MAB happens. its how he chicken ****tted his way into retirement after that loss that moves people like myself to give two craps about this guy.

can you imagine if he had fought jmm years before when he was the mando lol

someone said it best, he is a British ATG. stateside, he was a good fighter, master entertainer.

JMM turned down the fight claiming he wasn't ready. Can't do much about that.

[lx!!]

lol in what ways are miguel cotto like the prince?

^^^ Exactly what I'm thinking... How do you compare a warrior like Miguel to Hamed? When Cotto lost he came back won world titles, win big fights & even when he lost always put on a good preformence When hammed lost he simply diapered.

Seem it reported on many websites that JMM turned down a career high payday against Hamed in 2000.

Good fighter, was a legit feather kingpin in his day....

Obviously an over-the-top personality, but he was very entertaining....

I dont think he is the greatest fighter from the lighter weights,,,

Entertaining, highly skilled, respected resume...isnt this enough? He is not the best "light boxer"

Didn't both happen? Manny Steward definitely said that they 'avoided' Marquez for a number if years.

But I also remember something about JMM eventually being offered the fight and Nacho turning it down, with JMM fighting (and losing to) Norwood instead. I'm not sure about this part though.

Doesn't actually say they turned a fight down though? Doesn't say JMM wanted the fight from what I can see there. Maybe I missed that part..

But I believe an offer of around half a million was offered to JMM in 2000 for the fight but he turned it down.

For the record, I'm not saying Hamed would have beat JMM as his style would have given him problems.
