I know he was a cocky little bugger but he was exciting to watch

I miss the showmanship..he was the last of a kind. He was from the Eubank/Benn era where boxing had characters..the fighters played a role and we as fans lapped it up. Nobody really does that anymore. The only real larger than life character these days is Floyd
It's been simple WWE marketing logic for years and why they have been the longest running tv show ever. They understand that one simple thing that Eubank, Naseem and Floyd understand : Everybody will pay to see the good guy vs the bad guy.
Naseem, Eubank and Floyd chose to be the bad guys amongst all of the cookie cutter good guys.
As for his boxing, yeah I guess I miss the fact we never got to see how great he might have been and how he bounced back
from a loss. Guess the answer was he couldn't
Yes I miss him too. Still got the magazine with him in a leather jacket with nothing underneath but wearing the ibf belt lol
I miss seeing MAB bounce that bastard's head off the turnbuckle![]()
Like him or hate him he was exciting to watch.
Nobody does the flip into the ring, or the flying carpet ride like ol' Hamed used to.
All that pageantry... only to have Barrera feed him the corner turnbuckle... it just doesn't seem fair.

Entertaining yes but he could not drive for shit the nob head.![]()
The one who threw the multi millions deals for light weight class fighters. When I see pictures of him with his 75 extra pounds, I can barely believe that this guy once got me totally hooked to my T.V asking for more.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
He was exciting and an arrogant prick at the same time, but overall do not miss him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
