I know he was a cocky little bugger but he was exciting to watch

I miss the showmanship..he was the last of a kind. He was from the Eubank/Benn era where boxing had characters..the fighters played a role and we as fans lapped it up. Nobody really does that anymore. The only real larger than life character these days is Floyd
It's been simple WWE marketing logic for years and why they have been the longest running tv show ever. They understand that one simple thing that Eubank, Naseem and Floyd understand : Everybody will pay to see the good guy vs the bad guy.
Naseem, Eubank and Floyd chose to be the bad guys amongst all of the cookie cutter good guys.
As for his boxing, yeah I guess I miss the fact we never got to see how great he might have been and how he bounced back
from a loss. Guess the answer was he couldn't
Yes I miss him too. Still got the magazine with him in a leather jacket with nothing underneath but wearing the ibf belt lol
I miss seeing MAB bounce that bastard's head off the turnbuckle
Floyd Mayweather Jr had hand trouble...he seems fine now, just saying. It's not that I don't rate Naz, I just think he's more flash than talent is all, be honest he was a lot of flash. The flips over the ropes the hour long ring entrences, the constant shit talking ....it all got a bit old for me.
I do find it kind of funny when people with no details or picture of who they on this forum , use the - I have trained with him , my brother fought both of them , my dad can twat your dad , bullshit to make their point of view stronger.
For the record i wish Hamed had taken more ass kickings.

Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
I missed him at first, but he's in the past now. I would love to have seem him fight Morales, JMM or rematch MAB. I think they would all have beaten him, but then again they are all ATGs imo. He was great little fighter!
God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
He was fun in the ring because he was unpredictable and explosive. All the pomp and pageantry of a Toddler and Tiaras show just made you want to see him get blasted though.
Let’s admit it, hating someone in boxing makes fight just a bit more exciting. So yeah, I miss Naz too.
Like him or hate him he was exciting to watch.
Nobody does the flip into the ring, or the flying carpet ride like ol' Hamed used to.
All that pageantry... only to have Barrera feed him the corner turnbuckle... it just doesn't seem fair.
Entertaining yes but he could not drive for shit the nob head.
