    Naseem had already made multi millions. Barrera hadn’t...

    The hunger had gone, it wasn’t a lack of heart.
    He said it was his injured hands.

      2) He was having problems making the featherweight limit, he hated the dieting, he made comments in the Barerra documentary that he was looking more forward to the after fight meal than the fight itself.
      3) He hated being away from his wife and young children months at a time in training camps
      4) He had severe tendonitis and problems in his hands and had to have regular cortizone injections. His uncanny power had really taken its toll on the weapons of his trade....and when the injections wore off, the pain was something else
      5) He was badly booed in his comeback fight against Calvo. That has to discourage a man from continuing
      6) He never really liked his training/roadwork full stop
      7) His style never looked as good under the tutorage of Suarez and Steward

          Hamed easily.

            Hamed was untouchable at one point...

            Khans chin was unmisssable at every point..

              Hamed, it's not even close.

                If you judge a fighter's career by how much money he earned (like a lot of posters here do), then it's Khan. If you judge them by the quality of their wins and overall skills, it's Hamed.

                  is this a joke? Why even try and compare the two?

                  Based was one of if not the best fighter to come out of the UK, Khan is a joke.

                  Not understanding why this is even a thread
