Man, was he something...

Heh, at least he has a cool highlight vid on YouTube!

Hamed was great for the game! He was entertaining in & out off the ring. Had bone crunching power & a mouth to go along! Like Ice said he made people watch for that love hate factor like Ali had & like Mundine & Darchinyan do!

Just imagine how great things would have been if Hamed had continued on. Possible fights with Barrera 2, Morales, Marquez, Tapia, Ayala, maybe Austin!

Man that would have been awesome!!!

Hamed was good entertainment ...... he was unorthodox and actually quite hard to hit, like all Ingle's fighters are - but what he had that none of the others did was blinding hitting power. Hamed was Herol Graham with a big punch (and Herol with a punch would have been a great fighter)

Unfortunately, Naseem was an unpleasant bit of work - looks like he had small man syndrome and turned into a bit of a bully. Like all uncontrolled bullies he ended up believing his own hype and that he was the only one that mattered in the world (witness his disgraceful and unforgivable behaviour after his car crash).

Once he left Ingle, his boxing went downhill very quickly, he trained and sparred poorly, he cut corners with his fitness, his technique became sloppy. He got away with it for a while because he never lost that massive hitting power, but he got found out against Barrara.

So ...... undoubtedly a great fighter at his peak, who would have been competitive with just around anyone (I'm not saying he would have beat them all, though), but his true peak was actually very short, maybe only 18 months or so.

To his credit - he did show a good chin and heart against Barerra.

i will never forget that kevin kelley fight, that was amazing, defo my fav naz fight

[ElTerribleMorales]

IMO Morales' fighting style plus his granite chin, would of allowed him to put on a more vicious beating than the one MAB had put on him , thinking about it a bit more i think he would of lost to all the follwing, MAB II, Morales, JMM, Pacquiao, hell probably even against Larios.

[HattonTheHammer]

the hamed that fought barrera was just inexplicably a shell of the man that had made his name beating the likes of robinson and kelley

For some reason he just didnt wanna get his hands dirty that night and fight his man and that ultimately led to his complete downfall.

Its all well and good fighting london and cardiff when the atmospheres are much rowdier and youve people screaming your name but unless he`d of had a complete change of logic he would never of done a thing at a time where quality featherweights were plentyful stateside.

You are stretching it with Larios.
