Sorry.. but I dont see what you are left with concerning the khan comparison? They have both been in car accidents. They signed SKY deals. They both changed trainers.
That's not much, is it?

I guess you missed my point and I'm through trying to explain it.
Hamed was a GOOD fighter, he had a GOOD career and he lost to a GREAT fighter. Had be beaten MAB I would maybe have gone for 3 greats

I would say there are not many other British fighters apart from Lewis who have had careers as good as Hamed.
And I dont even like the bloke
I guess it depends on your definition of good/great and how far back you're looking...
I was a big Naseem fan from his very early fights and maybe I'm being a little hard on him because I feel a little short changed... he did achieve a lot but could have achieved so much more.
He did give us some great fights - I went to a number of them including the one in Wales against Steve Robinson when Naz boxed an almost perfect fight.
