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

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Look man the whole point of hof is accomplishments if you let every one in then what's the point? Serioulsy do you actually take hof seriously?

Being a good entertaing fighter doest make you or supposed to make you hof. It takes more then that a special fighter but that is not what the hof is about any more

"Being a good, entertaining fighter"? Do you even know what kind of impact Gatti had on boxing by being that way? The guy drew TV viewers, high ratings, and giving the people their money's worth, so much to the point that it didn't matter if he loss, fans STILL wanted to see him fight. He kept the sport exciting not with his skills but his thrills.

I don't see how anybody who truly does take the HOF seriously would question the induction of a boxer who contributed to the sport in ways very few have.

Your way of thinking is why the hof is a joke. Their are many fighters that gave entertaing fight doest mean they should be hof. Gatti impact was not great as you think it was. Impact to the sport would be what de la Hoya did not gatti

[MDPopescu]

Its a joke Hamed isn't in the HoF

He can't be a HoF -- he's from the U.K.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Manny would murder him,,, can't fight with your hands down vs manny.. Too fast and powerful, prince would find himself on the canvas..

It would be less competitive than manny-Barrera 1

You need to box to beat Naz. Pacquiao was a very primitive wild fighter at featherweight. He'd rush in all reckless n **** and get himself taken out.

You might as well cut that "your way of thinking is why the hof is a joke" BS out because it's obvious you're just biased against Gatti.

And no, what De La Hoya did was much different. He attracted a female fans. Gatti made entertaining matches.

Cong**** to Naz on his HOF announcement today.

Cong**** to Naz on his HOF announcement today.

Is it official??

[Accountoffline]

Naz is a HOF fighter without a doubt. In his prime before the hand issues and lack of love for the sport he could take out anyone in his weightclass.

I spoke to him 3yrs ago and although this subject is one he shrugged off with a brave smile its clear they are hurting him as a fighter and it's unfair.

So fook the association Naz will always be one of THE best entertainers to enter that ring and one of the best FWs of all time.

Is it official??

Yes. The Modern class is Bowe, Hamed, Mancini. Old Timer is the WAY overdue Yoko Gushiken. Masao Ohba and Ken Overlin were given posthumous inductions.

[IronDanHamza]

Can't believe Mancini is in.
