    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
