Naseem Hamed resume

[MATCHNATION]

Was Hamed overrated based on his career? He never really fought anyone did he? And when he did he got beat.

Just a question.

[W1LL]

He won the European title and twice unified World titles in the Featherweight division. He won his first World title at 21 years old. He was an entertainer and a showman, brash and ****y but not in an outright offensive way. His style of fighting was great to watch, he himself was like marmite and personally I loved watching his fights. In a career spanning ten year, he spent half that time as a World champion. There is no shame in losing to Marco Antonio Barrera. The shame is that he retired at 28 years old when he could have achieved a lot more.

No because when he had the belt he was beating world class guys, traveling n trying to unify, not disappear n milk a belt vs no names in home town affairs

You gotta be kidding his resume is crap and the first time he stepped in with the real fighters that were not passed it he got beat.

1990s Boxing in the UK was the Golden era. Any praise Naseem has received is warranted, him and Eubank Sr transcended the sport here. Not only due to their persona but their skills in the ring.

Lol...if you don't know or haven't watched his opponents or follow their career that's your bad

Tom Boom Boom Johnson was a longtime IBF titlist n beat several good fighters

Kevin Kelley was a mainstay @ 126 in the 90s

Its about time posters start thinking for themselves and research the fighters instead of repeat something you read or heard
