Lost to Barrera but anybody knows anything about Hamed knows he barely trained for that fight, had no interest in boxing and his hands were shot to pieces.
He could have been as good as he wanted to be. We probably never saw the best of him.
his hall of fame induction took too long...shouldve been first ballot....didnt help he was ******, brash and british.....doesnt sit well with american media...especially after desert storm and around the time of 9/11
Hamed was of the fighters that made me a hard core fan
He was fun to watch, natural born talent. Fighters like that dont come around to often.
those damaged hands, and his discipline dipped after the money....he was every bit of a feathweight roy jones to me as kid...only thing missing was a little better conventional technique
Overrated goofball, one of the most embarrissing exits out of the sport we've ever seen. Like I said in another thread, if only Barrare had ruined the religion of islam like he did Hamed, the world would be a far better place.
