How overatted is Prince Naseem?

[BIG H]

bIG H you list all these fighters that Naseem beat but if you think about it he get's great credit for beating the likes of Tom 'Boom Boom' Johnson and wayne McCullough then on the other hand someone like scott Harrison beats them both and we get told there not that good, so yes I would say he was overratd because he get's more credit for beating these opponents than other boxers like Scott harrison have because they are not as camera freindly.

When Hamed fought Johnson, Johnson was 42-2 and world champion, when he fought Harrison 3 years later he was 5 and 5 for his last 10 fights 8 of whcih were against nobodies

When Hamed fought McCullough he had lost 1 split decison in 23 fights, when he fought Harrison he should never have been allowed in the ring due to his health!!

Hamed didn't fight any all time greats, but who has or does, they don't come along that often, as I said before he fought the best there was, can you name anybody other than Morales that he should have fought but didn't??

That's easy. Juan Manuel Marquez

Have a Sc on me Demise for being so wrong, Marquez was fighting ten rounders until 2002, and was in his first World Title elimanater for the IBF Strap longh after Naz had anything to do with that belt, and Big H you have a CC for the fact your right Naz could only be seen as not fighting Morlaes when he was in his prime, but would of if he had the chance, if he had beaton MAB.

That's easy. Juan Manuel Marquez

He offered Marquez a fight and Marquez declined. So Naz fought Barerra Don't think Marquez would have beaten him though

[bigragu]

Naz only fought 1 good fighter everyone else was just fluff.

He defended his titles 15 TIMES!!!! that could not have been against complete bums....Steve Robinson had 7 successful title defences before he fough NAZ, Daniel Alicia held multiple titles, Wait...he beat Medina by KO..who beat the current champ Harrison 6 years after that fight!!!! Naz fought and beat Wayne McCullough 5 years before the current champ Harrison did...so tell me ...who fought the fluff?!!

[bigragu]

You should read some other peoples opinions in the thread because you just show how extremely limited your boxing "knowlege" is coming out with the same old S***.

Just because someone has a good record doesn't mean they are a good fighter.

Face it people Naz was popular because he was a power puncher with an unorthodox style. He was flashy and flamboyant, much like a Muhamed Ali, Hector Camacho, Roy Jones Jr, etc. But when you compare his competition and skill level with those guys he just doesn't measure up.

I can say I honestly dislike Naz because after 1 loss he gave up. He didn't try for a rematch, he didn't go after anyone else, he didn't move weight classes, he just gave up and that is pathetic...giving up IN YOUR PRIME because you didn't win, ONE FIGHT.

36(31 KO's)-1
Noteable matches
MAB L UD
Kevin Kelly KO 4
Wayne McCullough UD 12
Manuel Medina TKO 11


MAB was definantly in his prime when they fought
Kelly was as he is now, a chinny power puncher
McCullough was green
Medina got KO'd by Derrick Gainer if that tells you anything

and Medina BEAT THE CURRENT CHAMP HARRISON!!!!!if that tells you anything...you're slipping LYLE...i expect more from you...

Ummmmmm...Lyle...Naz fought after he lost to Barrera. He defeated Manuel Calvo by an ugly UD...but he did fight again & he did win.

Calm down Lyle...wer'e starting to get behind Wlad now...you didn't totally blow it with your Naz arguement...BUT YOU GOT GOTDAM CLOSE!!!

Starr I think the Hamed clan thought they got the better (as in better suited to hameds style) when they picked Barrera, that's certainly the way it came over when EM was running the commentary on Barrera's warm up fight against salud where he tried out some of his smarter boxing, he half jokingly manny said I think we picked the wrong fighter....not the come forward walk on to punches slugger, what they actually got was someone who stood off, counter punched and boxed something Marquez is noted for.

The only thing your right about is Harrison not being camera friendly. The rest was stupidity. And that got you your second sc.

Demise i take it back, i am beginning to take a shine to your original SC technique!! i suppose i'll get one for being so respectful.

I'll give you a cc for seeing the error of your ways. I do try to give atleast one cc a day

[chrisbird13]

By definition of the fact that people are still regularly talking about him years after he retired he must be very highly rated

That's easy. Juan Manuel Marquez

Marquez wasn't even in the picture, he had lost his 1 shot at a title and wasn't operating at World Class level during Naz' prime - he was fighting stiffs

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Marquez, Hamed's mandatory for like 2 years?

I don't remember him even being touted never mind the mandatory for 2 years (I could be wrong) He didn't win a world title until 2003 and Naz was long gone by then - look at who Marquez was fighting around this time, he would not have been a bigger draw than the likes of Johson, Kelly, Vasquez or McCullough and wouldn't have improved Naz's stock anymore.

Agreed he would've been a great fight if Naz had've been prime around 2003-2005.

Marquez was the WBO mandatory when Hamed was champion and Marquez was with forum boxing. This was before Marquez's horrible outing against Freddie Norwood. I never said Hamed ducked him or that the fight would of sold. I just answered the question that said who besides Erik Morales did Hamed not fight that was available. Marquez is still the answer.

[El Kabong]

and Medina BEAT THE CURRENT CHAMP HARRISON!!!!!if that tells you anything...you're slipping LYLE...i expect more from you...

I'm not saying that Naz couldn't beat Harrison but Morales and Pac would have beaten him senseless

[raleights]

I agree, MAB took it to Naseem but Morales and Pac wouldn't of let it go 12 rounds, no way in hell.
