    I think the guy is seriously overrated, and fell short of greatness by a long chalk. But there is no doubt he could fight.

    The prince was one of my favorite fighters to watch. He was just so unusal. There is nobody like Hamed. The guy threw shots from the strangest angles and he hit hard! Too bad he didn't have the heart to continue after losing to MAB. There is no shame in losing to MAB.

    He had the best one-shot power in the history of 126, but overall was overrated as fuck and would have lost badly to any featherweight great.

    I think he is one of the All-Timers, to be sure.

    If he had the best one shot power ever at 126, he would have at least been stunned by the odd flush left hand he landed against MAB.

    His power was overrated too. He got the odd flashy knockout from weird angles, but his raw power was nothing exceptional. Pacman punches harder at 126.

    Boxing fans are morons. They bitch and moan about there being no stars or talent...everyones overated...blh blah blah...and they never appreciate it when they DO have something special. There's never been anyone quite like the Prince before or since. He's a definite great.

    No he's not, he's a little bender that looks like a space monkey, who tried to hand pick his way to greatness, came a cropper when HBO forced him to fight MAB, then closed up shop and retired :bears:

    Some great he was, one of the best eva! :bears: :lol:

    He really proved his metal, did hamed.

    "He couldn't knock me out, see I went the distance with him" :lol:

    Haveeb is the greatest rope flipper in the history of the sport, but nowhere near a great boxer.

    No, but he was one of the best hitters at featherweight ever.

    I can agree with that. He had a decent punch for a featherweight.

    I just don't think a fighter can be considered "great" unless they beat other great fighters.

    Who's the best fighter he ever beat?

    Yeah, that's what I thought.

    The bat-eared midget got his ass handed by the first decent fighter he ever faced.

    Fuck that midget.

    That's what it boils down to. The first prime, elite fighter he faced beat the fuck out of him, embarrassed him and made him look like an amateur.

    Hamed knew it, and that was the end of the hamed hype train.

    Anyone who thinks hamed is a great fighter simply isn't very well versed in the sport.

    He was like a fighter for the teenage generation. The britney of boxing.

    Hey man, to each his own, and I respect that.
    I will say that I am glad that cat wasn't around thirty years ago when I was a featherweight.

    This has nothing to do with me...it's between the bat-eared midget, Annette Funicello, and you.

    If you can't take a little online criticism from posters such as myself, I really question how tough you really were as a boxer back in the day.

    You are too thin-skinned, and if you call on the moderators, you are a snitch as well.

    Don't ignore me StinkerKarl, or maybe you better as you're starting to irritate me and that's not a good thing. Tell you what, you want to make something of this, just name your time and place and I'll slam you into the canvas like the self-overrating heavybag I guess you to be. :flip:

    I will be here, brave soul.
    You know the time and the place, the question you have to ask yourself is if you are man enough to back up your threats?
    You know where I will be and I will gladly end it for you.
    No more typing, just be there.
    Now, back to the topic at hand.............
