“If you want loyalty, buy a dog.” Ricky Hatton
Naz beat solid competition during his prime, and even after he started to slip out of his prime. Tom Johnson was a good, solid fighter and he couldn't get ANYTHING done vs Naz. I often wonder how his fight vs Barerra would have turned out had he not gotten complacent and lazy. When the guy used his jab and gifts appropriately, he was very tough to deal with. Great fighter... Just lazy towards the end in my opinion.

Folks either loved him or hated him.
(I was one that couldn't stand him)
However, absolutely he should be in the Hall of Fame in Canastota.
Prince Naseem Hamed was a dominant Champ for several years, knocking World Class fighters' brains out; the Prince could punch.
He's earned it. You can't take away his accomplishments as a World Champion of several years duration.
