Comments Thread For: Measured Against All Time: Prince Naseem Hamed

[clmags12]

Hamed's personality and antics were annoying at times. But his unique style and his power is what made me a fan of the Prince.

Stallone is in a Wing of the Hall as a contributor, not a fighter. You must be a special breed. "Rocky" was just as influential in the popularity of boxing in the modern times as any fighter of note

I'll never understand why people don't get this. He's in with Cossell. All sports halls have wings like this.

maybe hamed would be more liked outside of Britain if he wasn't such a complete ****** he just came across as a complete turd

He was a showman with a big punch. He was flavor-of-the-week for awhile, but ultimately not driven to greatness. Or maybe he was dissuaded.

I suppose it depends on who you ask.

Nah. He was ****y but likeable.

Almost six years is more than awhile.

Bungu with one shot is as good as it gets.

I guess you've never seen him fight. He went through plenty of adversity and never quit.

He retired because he didn't need boxing any more.

He quit because he got embarrassed and schooled by Barrera, and his next fight, dropped on ass after showboating. Very good fighter though, I must admit.

Do you really think he cared that much? I've never seen a more gracious loser than Naz was after Barrera, it's not like he Broner'd it out of the ring.

The guy was absolutely loaded and didn't need to fight any more. He mentally quit boxing long before the Barrera fight.
