Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!
When Ryan Rhodes was in the British title fight against Gary Woolcombe, winning a Lonsdale belt 11 years after he claimed his first belt, Naseem Hamed, his long time friend was in the crowd, and was getting the attention of fans and the Sky cameras too. Whilst doing his interview, Nas couldn't help but lapse into his old macho talk, and despite looking like a kebab shop owner, told the British public:
"I don't rule it out, why not? I'm doing my eating, after all I deserve it after 21 years training. But tonight isn't about me, it's about Ryan Rhodes coming back to get the British title again. Boxing will always be a part of my life."
It did seem to be a bit tounge in cheek....but still, it could happen! (And Audley Harrison will claim a world title belt in 2008.)

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!
I felt quite sorry for him . Here is a man who used to be in the public eye then lost his title and fans after the Barrera fight . Ended up in prison and piled on the pounds. Now he stands alone in a small hall show with people paying no attention to him whatsoever. He tried to recapture some of the old charsima but it was a lame attempt from a washed up hasbeen trying to convince himself he still has it .
If he were slimmer and had not made this comeback statement so often then one may take him seriously but its obvious its just cuz he has nothing else to say infront of the camera.

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!
he starts these rumours every 18 months or so
i hope he does come back and get sparked so he would shut up once and for all

I think that ship has sailed.

Yeah, there were a few nice lines and a lot of it was tounge in cheek I think (was there space in the cheek for the tounge with half a portion of chips and a burger in there?) but its sad to see Rhodes' thunder get stolen a little by Nas.
Totally agree on Reid too....doubt we'll see him again even at English title level.

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!
I still don't get this "charisma" thing with Hamed. Annoying little* tosser who could do with a good kicking, yes. Charismatic, no. Charisma means personal charm. Does anybody seriously find him charming?
*Not so little anymore. I can't see him ever making super feather again.

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!
15 world title defences 3 world titles 4 if you take in to account he fought Vasquez the WBA champ but for some reason he doesn't get the credit he should. Hatton hasn't won a genuine title eg WBC,WBA,IBF,WBO and defended a number of times he wins and gives them up even Calzaghe really can't compare 21 defences over 10 or more years Naz did 15 in 6ish What you have to think is he made about £50 million from boxing now he couldn't have done that if he was crap who else apart from Lennox Lewis has made that kind of money.

Hatton was the Ring Champ. which speaks volumes and that is the recognized champ. :)

HATE HIM OR LOVE HIM THERES NO QUESTION OF DOUBT, NAS WAS GREAT, LIKE YOU SAID 15 DEFENCES IN 6 YRS. JUST LOOK HOW MUCH ATTENTION HE STILL GETS AFTER BEING RETIRED FOR GODS KNOWS HOW LONG, AFTER LITTLE INTERVIEW.
I THINK PEOPLE MUST BE DUM IF THEY THINK HES SERIOUS WHEN CLAIMING HES NOT RETIRED ETC, HES JUST PULLING THE INTERVIEVERS LEG. (NOT 2 EAT)
ID PUT NAS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT AS 1 OF THE UK'S FINEST BOXERS ON PAR WITH OR EVEN HIGHER THAN JC AND WAY BETTER THAN HATTON ASWELL.

Yeah Nas was just creating a stir and look at the impact its had. They say we are gonna hear from him more next Friday . Lets see what Nas says then
When you say better than Joe I respect your opinion but I d have to disagree . I think Joe and Lennox are the best weve ever had . Saying that . . . .
Nas failed his big test vs Barrera after a couple big wins over Johnson and Kelley
Hatton failed his big test after a couple big wins vs Tszyu and Castillo
Will Joe fail his big test vs Hopkins after a couple big wins over Kess and Lacy . If he doesnt I think Joe goes above those guys in history . Imo Joe is and alays has been better than them. I never put Hatton above Joe at any point on my p4p list

Lol, Topic next week will be rematch signed with barrera!!
Thats why i said on par or even higher than JC, wasnt sure. Its gonna be difficult with JC with his legacy as even if he beats Hopkins the guyz like 43 years old, but still this is JC biggest test. Lennox is canadian, i know he was born in britain but there you go. Only reason i vote Nas over the others is the entertainment value, he sure could put on a show with some spectaclur knockouts. JC's only become a house hold name maybe in the last couple of years and hes been world champ for 10!!
Given the choice to watch either Nas or JC on the world stage in thier primes i would choose Nas all day, but that could change after tonight!
One final thought,
Nas lost to barrera (living legend and all time p4p)
Hatton lost to Mayweather (again p4p king)
JC's fighting a 43 old guy (if he loses hes coming down the rankings fast and if he wins hes not really gonna go up much as the guyz 43!!) so this really is more to spread his name in the states rather than to enhance his legacy.

Re: Naseem Hamed still thinks there could be a comeback!
Jesus wept, just watched an interview with Naz and I honestly reckon that if he had walked past me in the street I probably wouldnt have recognised him.
