RATE NASEEM HAMED AS {A} A Fighter {B} A Featherweight Champion.

Good point Tam Tam, and the truth is EVERYONE is overrated or underrated based upon the point of reference. As they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

It's all a matter of personal opinion I guess.

 

Whatever else, we will always have Hameds bitch move/collapse to enjoy, his jail time, his loss of the MBE, his weight gain, his balding bastard head, his fat embarassed self. Brilliant.:clap: :clap: :clap: Go on Naseem, give us...give us, give us a few more words, ya fuckin bullshitta ya

Mexico City all the way, ya fuckin bullshitta.

Note the Haveebi bastards looking in on the background, the guy was a walking talking bullshitter, him, his crew, his whole fucking family, I wouldn't trust em as far as I would fuck em.

That said, its an interesting case study. Mayweather says he doesn't fight guys cos they aren't good enough to fight him. Hamed says his opposition are up to scratch because they knock his ass on the deck.

 

I am so glad Barrera embarrased that annoying cunt!

word.

 

"There is only one God, Allah, and Mohammed Is His Messenger"

Well Naseem, Its Mohammeds Day off. This is Marco.....he'll be standing in.

 

Thank you. :bears:

THAT's something that a lot of revisionist folks ignore (or try to) whenever they try to make out that Hamed was the one past his prime going into that fight. Not only that, but that Barrera was trying out a new style that wasn't his own, but still made Hamed look like an inept ass anyway. Whatever people's thoughts on Barrera is, anyone who loses in that way to Barrera, in his prime (which the Prince was), and then turns down a rematch and quits like a bitch afterwards is simply FAR from great, end of story. Hamed wasn't the first overachiever in boxing history.

 

Everyone (especiually Hamed followers) forget this.
They forget that Barrera, the archetypal 'walk-forward Mexican brawler' (as Warren put it), made slight adjustments to his style to use 'Boxing 101' and convincingly end a lot of people's hopes and dreams (namely SKY Sports, for one, :: ).

I don't care a flying fuck how many 'bums on seats' he accounted for or how glamourous or entertaining he made the lighter weight divisions....I'd still rather watch guys like Mayweather, Freitas, Corrales, Gatti, Manfredy, Morales, Barrera, Pacquiao, etc fight than Hamed.

 

P.S. Moving up, even someone like Spadafora would've decisioned Hamed, piece of piss.

 

Stupid.

 

One hundred percent right!

 

You goofy 'lil bastard.

Barerra and 36 other guys couldn't KO Hamed, even some landing with great force. And you act as if his chin is like Roy Jones's.

Hamed would destroy Lopez, and Olivares. Sanchez would beat Hamed, as would Alexis.
The fights with Nelson and Gomez would be tossups IMO. Both these guys could be lured into slugfests.

 

The hard, cold truth. The hamed hype train had a decent run, fooling the passers by with holograms making it appear to be faster and prettier than it really was, before getting derailed and EXPOSED by a real train.

 

The same kinds of shit were said after MAB lost his first professional fight against Junior Jones.

Hamed fought decent opposition, and disposed of them all fairly easily if not DEVASTATINGLY.
His list of opponents is above average at the least. He didn't fight some guys, but who the fuck knows why those fights didn't come off.
Hamed brought excitement and big money to the lighter weight classes, and delivered breathtaking KOs for the boxing world.

He had a few stinkers,.....but you'll have that some times. ie Trinidad vs Wright.

Nobody is saying that Hamed is the best of all time....but he sure isn't the ridiculously one dimensional clod with only a punchers chance that you make him out to be.

Make no mistake,.....Hamed would bang with Morales and Pac, and they wuld bang with him.

It owuld be their mistake.

 

:laughing:

you can tell Steward is fucking irritated on that interview. but the paycheck was good so he played the role.

 

By passers-by, you mean those Man Utd bandwagon-joining, non-boxing fan lager-louts who signed up to SKY after seeing the 'Natural Born Thrilla' video?

 

I'm a Barrera fan; and I never much "liked" Hamed.

But it's almost like you guys are implying that Barrera was practically shot when he faced Hamed, and that is simply not true.

And I would HIGHLY dispute that Barrera was more "ring worn" than guys like Medina (51-7); Tom Johnson (44-2-2 and 33 years old); Billy Hardy (36-7 and 30-something); Kelley (47-1 and 30)...and let's not even get into Vazquez or Cesar Soto.

Additionally, though I loved what Barrera did in terms of his style; reports of him "completely reinventing" his approach JUST for the Hamed fight are highly exaggerated.

Barrera already started "boxing" and upping the use of his jab as far back as his rematch with Jones, and it surfaced vs. Maurin, Valbuena and Salud.

He certainly used it to perfection vs. Hamed; but it wasn't a complete reinvention.

Finally, no doubt Barrera had a great, dominating performance vs. Hamed, but I remember scoring 3-4 rounds for Naseem. It's being made out to be of Wright-Trinidad proportions, and it wasn't.

Peace.

 

Exactly...

While Barrera CLEARLY WON the Fight,Hamed Naysayers CLING to that Fight like Prince Lost EVERY Minute of EVERY Round & Got BOUNCED OFF the Canvas En Route to a 1-Sided KO Loss ...

NOT!!!!:nono:

Dude was NEVER Dropped,NEVER BADLY Hurt Really & he Went the Distance...

It was More of a "Schooling" than an "AssWhipping"...
