How special was Naseem Hamed?

[Fat_asian]

Not really.

The first lower weight fighters to make 1mil were Michael Carbajal and Chiquita González back in the early 90s.

I stand corrected!

[Fat_asian]

I heard it from lamps lol, talking bout making millions of dollars and such

[Cyberspace]

Some of best wins were over guys past it, Vazquez and Tom Johnson and you could say Barrera exposed him but he was one of the most entertaining fighters of that ERA.

He was my fave at the time. I thought he was something special but he kept going down so realised he had flaws. Even though still unique in his own way

He was probably one of the most exciting fighters you would see. He had it all and he would always push for the knockout. He had insane reflexes and power. He was a fantastic fighter but I wouldn't say he was PAC level. Barrera really taught him lesson and the sweet science of boxing. Was a shame he gave it up after that.

Well, I don't think anyone thinks he's on.Pac s level. But I rremember when he was being downed by Kelly and getting nailed by barrera time after time I used to think how come he's gone downhill so much since he beat Steve robinson? But reality he probably hadn't gone backwards it's just he stepped up competition and he was more flawed than him koing everyone suggested. Like wilder

What everybody said. Naz was a true showman and an entertainer. He was more than just a boxer.

That’s what’s missing in today’s boxing. These dudes think Spence and Mikey garcia are superstar PPV materials lol but they dont have any spark in their personalities.

Naz is a promoter’s wet dream.. he was a true superstar material. Guy had alot of charisma.

Randomly watched this today...
Crazy how guys like Donald ***** and Daniel Day Lewis actually took an interest in Naz’s US debut. What an great fight as well.

Despite essentially cleaning out 126, I always felt Naz could have achieved so much more. Anyone else agree?

Yeah I agree. He had the curse of power. He got away with a lot of bad habits because of his quickness and power. When he fought Barerra all those flaws showed up.

Yeah very true, Barrera done an absolute job on him physically and mentally.

Yeah this is what I meant by “special”, Naz was able to generate such a buzz wherever he fought.
