    He was a beast.
    Probably the hardest punching featherweight ever.
    He was unconventional,..and flawed.
    Man I wish he were here in boxing today.

    Never in my life saw Nadeem Hamed fight.

    Was he related to Naseem?

    I just watched his fight with Tim “Bang Bang” Jensen. Great talent but his fundamentals and defense were a real problem.

    Awesome unconventional fighter and a real character. Boxing needs characters like him in the game today.

    Tended to avoid big names as he was protected by Frank Werrren, but should've fought John Manuel Markes, Ferdie Northwood or even moved up for Arthur Gotti or Floyd Merriweather...

    His most memorable/enjoyable fight was against Barrera. I was a Mexican that night.

    Overrated scrub. Lost to the first elite fighter he fought, then retired.

    He had the sort of stupid style that only looked good against shot fighters or scrubs, that was begging to be exposed against an elite fighter, which it was of course.

    Not only beaten, but totally exposed by being 'Out-Boxed 101' which resulted in early-retirement due to a fragile-mentality unable to cope.

    I'd rather discuss the rematch where Roy Rogers destroyed Montell Williams in 1.

    100%. Exposed by basic solid fundamental boxing. Don't get me wrong, MAB was great and an elite in his prime, but he was a skilled pressure fighter really, not a stick and move "boxer" per se, it's not like he was Floyd. But he essentially just did a basic Ray Leonard impersonation against Hamed and dominated him with ease, and made him look like the clueless gimmicky scrub that he was.

    The fight with Layne McCullum wasn't very exciting either

    To be fair he completely starched Saul Pringle and Vitali Bongo.

    If Roberto DeNiro got outboxed by Wilfred Bennett, then how would the much smaller Haveeb win?

    Sure, if going 13-0 against 13 tomato-cans is impressive...

    I think he meant to say Wilbur Garnet. He beat Lucky Panter but lost to Saldivar Sampson and Hawooga! Johnson.

    Counter-agREED, 100%

    Furthermore, do you (or anyone else) know how the Barrera fight came to be made?
    His fat, fuckin, equally-scummy terrorist-brother, Riath, claimed that the reason they picked Barrera (who had lost against Erik Morales in their fight #1), was that in their opinion, they felt Barrera was the true winner and therefore more worthy of the fight.
    This was their whole fucking sneaky Arabness that back-fired on them: let´s fight the lesser of the two Mexicans,

    If he´d fought Morales, he would have been smashed.

    I agree this sounds like a certain famous Leonard fight
