Anyone know whats happened to Naz??
Just wondering if anyone knows where nassem hamed is? Has he retired? Is he gonna make a come back?
Re: Anyone know whats happened to Naz??
He hasn't officially retired, but doesn't really need to. It's well known among the British fight fraternity that Naseem won't be fighting again.simius wrote:Just wondering if anyone knows where nassem hamed is? Has he retired? Is he gonna make a come back?

In recent months he really has gone to ground.
Despite the fall out at Wincobank, you have to realise how far back he goes with some of the lads, but even they have lost touch now.
I genuinely had an inkling that he would be back if Brodie had beat Chi.
He was ticking over training wise about 4 weeks before that fight but maybe my theory was well wide of the mark.
My head says it's over, my heart says please Naz come back.
I believe he has spent a while back in the Yemen.
He is a very wealthy, but still young man.
He is a dedicated family man, and for one I say thanks for the memories if it is over.

As a (former) staunch Naz fan I urge him to stay retired - The featherweight division is far stronger than the one he left.
I'd pick ALL of the top five to beat him.
Not even sure that he'd beat Brodie anymore.
It is a sad lookout for Naseem if he was waiting for a bantamweight he KOd as a child to return so Naseem can look good beating him up!
So much for the "legend" who was gonna clear up three divisions - couldn't even manage one!

Lugh,
I think that's a bit OTT.
You make it sound as though Naz would be unique in seeking an easier alternative for a stepping stone back.
All fighters do it.
You are right, he would have problems with the top 5 - but tell me, if he did fight Brodie how many paying punters do you think would turn up ?
Slightly more I would venture to guess than the total number of tickets sold by Brodie in his last 6 fights.
And, should he defeat Brodie don't you share my view that the big fights would be on offer, once more ?
It's a fact you reap what you sow, but is Naz any bigger a liar by saying that he would be a legend, than Calzaghe saying he's got a passport - to leave Wales !!
