one thing you can say about Naseem. For all his confidence and all his brash talking. When it came time for him to be defeated he handled it with nothing but class. And that speaks volumes more then boxing could. People have been less brash and accepted defeat worse. He took it better then anyoen who was supposedly cocky etc.. wheras if you lose and don't accept defeat then it's less respectable. But I respect Hamed for accepting that loss like a man and with class.
I understand what your saying BUT accepting defeat doesn't make you a better boxer it makes you a better person.
Thats good he accpeted defeat and it is good for the sport.
Also if you wan't to dig out and scoop into this some more,
Did he really accpet defeat well? he sure talked about it in the press-conference & in interviews........
But IMO retiring after suferring ONLY 1 loss is not accepting defeat you till this day and for the rest of his life THAT day is the single most important day that he will not forget.........
Just ask 'BIG' George.

I will always say NAZ IS NOT, WAS NOT, NORE WILL HE EVER BE GREAT.
