    Oh, Hamed is a mortal lock for the boxing Hall of Fame. Trust me. 15 successful defenses will most likely get your ass there.

    Hamed is basically the feather version of Pipino Cuevas, only with much more fame and without the late-career failures. And Pipino is a HOFer.
    Hamed's title defenses is much like the same as Joe Calzaghe. The only difference is that Joe Calzaghe has had a career defining victory and can still improve his legacy to get into Canastota.

    On the other hand, Hamed froze on the biggest night of his career and I believe all this comeback talk is BS.

    I suggest you make a poll if Hamed is HOF material and I can almost guarantee that majority of the votes will say 'NO'(Well, it really depends on how many biased Brits will vote 'YES' ).

        I can't stand Naz, but I think he will get into the HOF, just like Gatti, for entertainment value. Should either guy be in there? Probably not (I say that as a big Gatti fan), but they have done quite a bit for the sport as far as the entertainment end of it.

          Naseem is nothing more than an overhyped clown who fought nobody's. With that said, i'll admit that his mouth and style was good for the sport...

            Thing is, it's not about what we think. **** it's not even always about merits. Naz will get in there. The voters are much more impressionable than in other sports. They like spectacular fighters with KO power. That's why Calzaghe is not a good comparison.

            As I told you, Hamed is the feather version of Pipino. Great KO power, very solid champion, got completely outclassed by an all-time great. For Pipino was Hearns (2nd round TKO), for Hamed was Barrera.

              That's a great post. I hooked you up with some karma, because I don't think anyone can argue with that.

                Gee thanks. I appreciate it.

                Now if you could tell me what exactly is karma and how can you give/receive it? Is it something like points?
