nassem hamed: only a legend in england!!

[grayfist]

right buddy,btw, is it true that rocky marciano knocked out a bull with one punch?

Hi there pal!
I've read about that too, but I'm taking it alongside another one that says Roberto Duran knocked out a horse with something similar.

Boxing has its share of lore, quite a number of which are tall tales. Sometimes it gives Fishing a run for its primacy when it comes to such stories (you remember the fisherman's story about a catch that grows bigger with every re-telling?).

Good to see ya again pal!

Edit: Tall tales are now sometimes called, "Urban Legends"-- and there's that word.

the fisherman's story has a pinoy version buddy. Pedro saw maria sitting crosslegs and he saw her panties. So he told juan, "I saw maria's panties". Juan told another guy that pedro saw maria's panties and the guy passed on to another guy until the following day there is a gossip going around that pedro saw maria's *****. One more week passed and the story going around was that pedro saw maria's fallopian tube.

Just noticed that you quoted my post buddy. Nice to see you around.

nassem hamed

Legend?!?!?! Never even heard of Nassem Hamed.

However there is a fairly well known boxer called Naseem Hamed.

Great thread start. Ass!

everybody knows european competition in 3rd rate compared to american competition..guys can fight in europe and be 30 something and 0 come to america..fight a c class fighter and LOSE

nassem hamed came to america first fight was augie sanchez a c class fighter..he put knots all over hamed's face..2nd fight was the feather fisted kevin kelly..dropped hamed 3 times...his 3rd fight was barrera where he was demolished..my point is please stop with the hamed threads

Please stop with your posts altogether. How can you mix up Hamed's fights in the states as Sanchez 1st, and Kelley 2nd? Kelley was the first fight in the states for Hamed coming close to Hamed's split with Ingle. You could see during that fight how disrespectul Hamed was of Ingle's advice and presence. True, Hamed was floored three times by Kelley, and although Kelley wasn't the hardest of hitters, i certainly wouldn't label him as a c-class fighter, and Hamed did get up three times to eventually stop Kelley in a very exciting fight. Sanchez IMO is not on the level of Kevin Kelley, and although he is a dangerous fighter, i didn't think he should have posed Hamed a problem but he did and Hamed did well to overcome that and win again with a ferocious knockout. Hamed then faced world class competition in Marco Antonio Barrera and was outclassed by the better fighter, but he came into the ring without a plan B when plan A of 'a knock-out' didn't look remotely like it would come to fruition. Hamed was an egotistical little a*sehole by this point and was surrounded by people not willing to tell him how poorly prepared he was for someone of Barrera's class.
However, i repeat that the Hamed who fought Robinson was theoretically capable of beating any fighter in featherweight history IMO.
