    Saw him the other day aswell it was a shame what happend to him,its a reminder what can happen in boxing.
    I was really proud of Paul Ingle when he beat Junior Jones, its funny i remember watching that when i was young. Brings back good memories Paul Ingle used to be one of my favorites, would love to see it again but i haven't seen it since 2000. amazingly no footage of it anywhere which is a shame because i remembered it was a great fight.
    It was 1 of my favourites to i had it on take for years and quite often used to watch it but some1 taped over it.That really peed my off

    Caesar Soto was a tough fight for him . After 6 rounds it looked like he could lose but Soto didnt wana know after he got his nose broke. It was a really ugly fight

    Augie Sanchez gave him a few scares but didnt have the resistance to go many rounds.

    Tom Johnson would have given a really good fight and might have beaten him if he were a decade younger . He floored Nas at the end of the 3rd but at that stage of his career his reflexes werent there and he got worn down.

    Over all I think Medina and Ingle gave him his hardest fights outside of Barrera ofcourse.

    Hamed was a very exciting fighter, but I've never consider him as elite.

    If only he never let fame go to his head,and though he didnt need to train propley,he was bloody brilliant under the guidance of Brendan Ingle.I think it would of took a great fighter to beat Hamed in his prime and focused.

    Imo Hamed was past his prime when he got beat by MAB

    It was on the Lewis vs Grant undercrd in MSG

    Paul got floored by a right hand but got up to wear Jones down. By the end Jones was tottering around like he was drunk and the ref still wasnt stepping in.

    Jones was fighting on the Nas - Ingle undercard vs a Coventry fighter with Tiger skin trunks called Richard Evatt and he had to get off the floor in that one. He was also on the Nas - Kelly bill vs Mckinney when he floored Keneddy but got knocked out a couple rounds later. He was always in thrillers.

    Surprised he never met Nas cuz they were being lined up to fight each other for years.

    Jones-Naz was set for after the Ingle fight but obviously Ingle ruined their plans.

    Then Marquez turned down the fight and they ended up with Sanchez.

    I always thought Naz was at his peak when Barrera embarassed him.

    Well your wrong he went downhill when he left Brendan Ingle, and Frank Warren. He didn't even train for the MAB fight, his prime was when he beat Steve Robinson. That was far and away his best performance and he looked great that night. Not that im saying even a prime Naseem Hamed would beat MAB, but he certainly was not in his prime when he fought MAB.

    No way near Naz had lost the plot long before that, just read his ex trainer Brendan Ingles book at you will get an idea of what Naz had turned into, basically and ego twisted little dwarf he believed he was the new Muhammed Ali.

    Go watch the Documentry it on youtube leading upto the Barrera fight it was embarrasing. Naz had lost his hunger for figthing just before the Tom Johnson fight. He was good but like alot of people think a bit over rated.

    Im not a Naseem Hamed fan by any means, but i think he gets unfairly treated at times. And his whole career is based off one loss, when he was past his prime and clearly not all there.

    Which is unfair IMO, when MAB got beaten by Junior Jones x2. And the 1st time was an embarrassing loss, yet his whole career isn't based off those 2 losses.

    Naseem Hamed was a terrific little fighter in his hey day, and he was a pleasure to watch at his best with his spectacular KO's, his ring entrances, and his unorthodox style.

    Whether you loved him or hated him he entertained, im a fan of MAB have been for years and years. And he is one of my favorites, but im telling you now he would of had a tough fight on his hands, against a prime Naseem Hamed.

    cockyness is always a virtue in a sport like boxing and vital if its too survive.

    But the whole manner in how he took the barrera defeat and never managed to get over finishing up 2nd best...quite pathetic

    you get beat you pick yourself up and learn from it, you dont walk out on the sport and run over old men
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    As i said never will be a fan of his, but even if you love him or hate him, he entertained at the end of the day. And i do think he gets a bit unfairly treated at times.

    Never thought he was shit Fenster, remember i always thought his balance was piss poor. As a fighter he certainly wasn't piss poor he had raw talent but he is still an ass.
