Just missed Greatness

[THE THIRD MAN]

Naseem Hamed

Don't think so... all of his big wins came when he met fighters who were either over hyped or on the slide... he met them all at just the right time.

Very well marketed and managed.

I put Hamed on my list as he failed in his one mega fight with Barrera, all of his other wins were against good opposition but not great as Barrera was. He didn't fight Morales or rematch Barrera so true greatness eludes him and affects his legacy.

I don't think he missed greatness though... I just don't think that he had it in him to ever make it that far.
