Comments Thread For: Naseem Hamed Talks Career, Explains What Boxing is Missing

[McNulty]

I'm not interested in debating his resume (which is pretty decent) or why he called time on his career shortly after the Barrera fight, i was disappointed that he didn't continue but i know he had his reasons (personal troubles, hand injuries, lack of motivation due to too much £) i will only ask you this one question:

Name me a more exciting fighter............In any generation?

Roy Motherfùcking Jones Junior. He robbed Juniors style DUDE.

Ray Robinson
Ray Leonard
Mike Tyson
Erik Morales
Johnny Tapia
Juan Manuel Marquez
Terry Norris

...shall I keep going?

The biggest hype job ever. Got Exposed by Barrera never to hear from him again. Should of never have been put in the boxing hall of fame period. Can't believe this hype job is getting any credit for all the fixed fights his daddy fixed for him.

Please do. It’s a good list. Not bad company for Hamed. He was a great showman. There’s better fighters on your list but no greater showmen.

In short, boxing is missing "the best vs. the best."

-- Needs single titles (single belts per weight class) so boxers strive to find out who is the best
-- Needs accountability for judges -- rationale for how they awarded each round, by the criteria
-- Needs same-day weigh-ins, so that it's less about gaming weight and more about real-size fights.

Is that all you got the Cheetos basement smack so old your grandma farts dust. Hype Job don't give a fuc what you say and there were many on another thread about naz backing me up. Don't know shyt about boxing. I bet you're one of the lames out there thinking thinking GGG got exposed his last 2 fights even though he won both fights clearly. Post Barrera beat down how did that hall of fame career go for Naz? Lol.. Rookie

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Prince left the game at the right time, with money, health and never had to fight Marquez, manny or morales.. all would have beaten his ass worse than Barrera did

All great fighters,some even better than Naz,none of them more exciting though. Naz is a legend of the sport without doubt and to my knowledge there has never been a fighter like him and probably never will be again

There's plenty of guys who put it all on the line. We're just waiting for that next "superstar" to break through but that's not easy. Even the greats took years to get to that level of popularity. It'll happen. Boxing will be great again soon.

Flamboyance? I don't think fans care much for that.
