THOUGHTS OVERALL ON NASEEM HAMED CAREER

[Best Coast]

Tyson was Spinks & Naz was Robinson. After each one they just went more for power than skill. Each still had odd glimpses of greatness but both generally underperformed after that.

I hope you're not talking about RAY Robinson, widely regarded as the #1 P4P boxer of ALL-TIME. That would be a horrendous insult to even mention Hamed in the same breath as Sugar Ray Robinson.

I think a comparison of Naz to Tyson would be far more sensible. Tyson was exposed by Douglas, Holyfield and others but stuck around in the fight game another 8 years because it was his life. Hamed was exposed by Marco Antonio Barrera the same way but rode off into the sunset to avoid a multiple-loss career like Tyson had.

Hamed's pre-Barrera list of victims was less impressive than Tyson's pre-Holyfield resume': Kelley, Bungu, Soto, Vazquez, Johnson & Medina.

That's slightly less impressive than Tyson's resume of unbeaten Michael Spinks, Holmes, Tucker, Ruddock twice, & Bruno twice.

I think he was an over-hyped promotion pimped by HBO. All show no substance.

Is it coincidence or was this topic inspired by the recent death of Hamed's "transgender" namesake PRINCE?

So far his career was identical to that of Connor mcgregor. Talked an enormous amount of sh... with great talent but crawled into a hole after getting his first beat down. Very entertaining and reflection of a great boxing era shortly before the sport went downhill

You funny funny man

I said that both Tyson & Naz went downhill after a certain performance - because they boxed less & banged more.

Tyson peaked with Michael Spinks & Naz peaked with STEVE Robinson. Not sure where you conjured up Ray from but it was comedy genius.

Thank you for providing me with my morning laugh
