The only place to get that kind of entertainment is at a butterbean fight ;)
I tell you though, this is a lot of bullshit everyone is talking about naseem hamed. In hindsight he was a bit of a prick but at the time he was an enigma, he was a real fighter, and above all, he was an entertainer. The great Muhammed Ali described as "One of the greatest show men on earth,". He wasn't wrong. If you cast your mind back to the build up to Naz vs Kevin Kelley, that fight was deciding who was the greatest Featherweight in the world. And Naz won in style. Kelley was 49-1 at the time, and I feel like people are selling that short. That fight was Naz's 9th defence of his crown. No mean feat.
It all depends on Naz's physical and mental shape.
I'm pretty sure he still have the skill. It's like riding a bicycle right?... you don't forget.
When is he coming out? I hope real soon.
Knowing that hes got attitude, I doubt they will release him early for having a good behavior.
But hey, maybe he'll be like small version B-hop someday ;D
Hamed will never get it back. I'm sure he could still KO some foes, but can't see him being close to contention. I've seen stranger things though. It's just been too long IMO, and doubt that he could get back. Especially, after seeing him in his fight after Barrera.
I wouldn't quite compare boxing to riding a bicycle. You never forget how to ride a bike, and you probably never forget your boxing technique either, but you never regain your reflexes, endurance or metabolism when you get old.Quote:

The thing that pisses me off the most about Hamed is he said after the Barrera fight champions always come back after a loss and prove themselves again at the elite level????? Well Naz WTF?
Great fighters who have lost for the first time and comeback just as good as before include Duran,
Tszyu, Ali, Olivares, Leonard, Hearns, Robinson, Whitaker just to name a few. Of course they were great fighters, I doubt Naz ever was!
Naz wasn't legend material but Naz is way under rated nowadays. He was a such a prick outside of the ring that people refuse to think anything positive about him.
ahahah yea ;DQuote:

I think you are right about the 9/11 thing, he was going to find it very difficult in the US after that. I loved all the entertainment stuff as well, he should have comeback and fought Barrera again or Morales.Quote:
