Naseem Hamed - BoxRec Naseem Hamed Hall of Fame bio: [1] Name: Naseem Hamed Birthplace: Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom Hometown: Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom Stance: Southpaw Height: 5′ 4½″ / 164cm Reach: 64″ / 163cm Quoted from Naz-World On the 12th February 1974 something happened that would eventually change boxing history forever, a young boy was born, that young boy was called Naseem Salom Ali Hamed, or as he is now more widely known Naz or Prince Naseem Hamed. Naz started to learn how to box when he was only 7 years old, after his dad Sal sent him to Brendan Ingle's gym to help him to look after himself because he was such a small child. In 1992 Naz had his first professional fight on the 14th April 1992 when he fought Ricky Beard and duly won in the second round which was soon to become a favourite round for Naz to destroy his opponents.

Not just defeating his opponents physically was enough for Naz and he wore them down mentally as well with his constant talking and dancing away from punches during the rounds. Rounds began to pass where his opponents would barely hit him and would lose concentration for a few seconds, which was enough for Naz to unload a big punch, sending them to the canvas. Naz then had 10 more fights after his first professional bout before he came up with his first real challenge, on the 11th May 1994 he came up against Vincenzo Belcastro whom he challenged to become European Bantamweight Champion. Naz, of course won this even though it was one of his longest fights with victory being a unanimous points win (120-107 , 120-109 , 119-110) in Naz's home town of Sheffield. Naz defended his newly found crown on the 17th August 1994 against Antonio Picardi in which Naz had his opponent on the floor twice before he finally stayed there in the second round.

Just under two months later on 12th October 1994 Naz fought Freddy Cruz for the vacant WBC International Super Bantamweight Championship title. Cruz had never been stopped in any of his previous 56 fights and in the run up to the fight made the mistake of calling the Prince a boy. The ref stopped the fight in the 6th round and the Prince was a winner once more. For his last fight of 1994 Naz fought Laureano Ramirez. Naz predicted that he would win the fight in the 3rd round and could have easily won at anytime but left it till the 3rd round before he sent his man to the canvas. For his first fight of 1995 Naz fought Armando Castro in Glasgow. Naz dropped Castro to the canvas in the 4th round and celebrated with a somersault thinking he had won but Castro managed to get up and decided he wanted more punishment, the ref seemed to agree with him but not for long as he was to stop the fight later on in the 4th round.

Next on the hit list was Sergio Liendo on the 4th March who Naz managed to finish in the 2nd round, after the referee let a fight which should have been stopped moments earlier go on with Liendo taking extra, possibly damaging hits which were un-necessary. The next hopeful was Enrique Angeles who Naz fought on the 6th May but unfortunately for him he only lasted 2 rounds before finding himself lying on the canvas another victim of the Princes punch. On the 1st July Naz took on Juan Polo-Perez who was another to make the same mistake Freddy Cruz made in calling Naz a boy. Perez like Cruz found himself floored in the 2nd round, when else! You don't insult the Prince and get away with it! For his next and probably most challenging fight up until this time Naz moved up to featherweight and 'somehow' became the No.1 contender for the WBO Featherweight Championship even though he had never fought in this weight! He fought the Welshman Steve Robinson on the 30th September in Cardiff in front of a partisan crowd of 16,000 screaming Welsh, waiting for their man Robinson to end the undefeated run of the Prince.

Robinson was floored first in the 5th round before being sent to the canvas again in the 8th when the referee stopped the fight. The Prince had become King. Naz's first fight of 1996 was on the 16th March against Said Lawal, not that it could really be called a fight as Naz's entrance to the ring actually lasted longed than the 35 seconds which it took Naz to stop Lawal. Three punches were thrown in the fight, unsurprisingly all by Naz. Luckily Pay-per-View boxing was not the in thing at this time! Next up on the 8th June came Daniel Alicea which put two young fighters, Alicea (23) and Naz (22), who were both unbeaten up against each other. In round one Hamed was on the floor and whether or not this was due to being off balance or because of a punch was irrelevant as in the 2nd round the fight was over when Naz sent Alicea to the canvas twice, the second time for the count.

On the 31st August Naz fought Manuel Medina in one of his less than spectacular fights which he fought even though he was not 100%, he had been suffering with a chest infection and won when the fight was stopped in the 11th round. For his last fight of 1996 Naz fought Remigio Molina on the 9th November, Molina was unbeaten in 27 fights but only lasted till the 2nd round when the referee stepped in and stopped the fight. His first fight of 1997 on the 8th February saw him fight for the IBF Featherweight Championship against 48 fight veteran, of which 44 were wins(25 ko's), Tom 'Boom Boom' Johnson. This was Johnson's 12th defence of his title and unfortunately for him was to be his last as he was battered like hell in the 7th round before finally the ref stopped the fight towards the end of the 8th. The next fight for Naz came on the 3rd May when he fought Billy Hardy in Manchester.

Hardy had said that Naz 'Might enter the ring on a chariot, but he would leave on a stretcher', Hardy was stopped after 93 seconds and would have been better off just lying on the floor as soon as the bell went for the start of the first round, well it would have been less painfull for him. On the 19th July Naz faced Juan Cabrera in London which was broadcast to the USA by the ABC Network, unfortunately the fight was a short one again with the ref stopping it in the 2nd round so the Americans didn't see too much of the great Naseem. Next up came another previously unstopped opponent in the form of Jose Badillo, but then he hadn't fought Naz before so he was bound to be unstopped. Badillo lasted until the 7th round when after a barrage of punches the ref finally stopped the fight. Finally on 19th December Naz crossed the Atlantic to feature in his first fight in front of the American Public and pitted against the American Kevin Kelley at New York's famous Madison Square Garden. Naz was knocked down in the 1st round and touched down with his gloves a few more times before he eventually got himself going and back into the fight.

He floored Kelley in the 2nd and then had him down twice in the 4th round, the second time he didn't get up. Naz first fight of 1998 was on the 18th April in Manchester against Wilfredo Vazquez who was the holder of the WBA title but gave this up so he could fight Naz, another more likely reason was the amount of money he could get in a fight against Naz! The referee stopped the fight after Vazquez was knocked down in the 3rd round and then twice in the 7th. For his next fight Naz again ventured once more across the Atlantic to the USA where he fought Wayne McCullough on the 31st October. Another successfull defence of his title when Naz won a unanimous points decision over Wayne McCullough after the fight went the distance which for a Naz fight is an unusual event. The fight was scored (116 - 112) ,(117 - 111) and (118 - 110). For his first fight of 1999 Naz will be fighting on the 10th April 1999 against Paul Ingle of Scarborough.

Naz once again proved he is the best Pound for Pound featherweight in the division with a 11th round win over Paul Ingle. Ingle was down 3 times in a close fought contest and a short left to the head in the 11th laid him on the canvas unable to get to his feet before the count. Naz was down once in the fight after a wild swing at Ingle missed. This brought a cheer from the Ingle fans who thought that he had been knocked down by Ingle but Naz flicked himself back up on to his feet and got down to business. This was Naz' first fight under his new Trainer Oscar Suarez and he also had Emanuel Steward of the famous KronkGym in his corner as an advisor. Indeed it was Steward who in the 11th round told him Naz to use his left more which he did straight away to to finish Ingle! Naz fought once more in 1999 against WBC Champion Cesar Soto from Mexico a respected fighter who many though would give Naz his toughest fight to date. The fight was to take place in the US on the 22nd October.

The fight turned out to be the complete opposite of the good fight which had been promised in the weeks of advertising running up to the fight. The fight was probably the worst which Naz has had, though the blame cannot fully be with him as Soto came to fight dirty and did throughout the whole of the fight. Naz started the fight looking lively wearing his new black shorts with leopardskin trim. Once the fight reached the 3rd round it looked like it was going to be a long fight. Both boxers were warned for hitting on break. Naz was deducted a point in the 4th for a reason which was unclear and again in the 6th Naz lost another point when he wrestled Soto to the canvas. By the 8th round Soto was deducted a point after having nearly a dozen warnings from the ref for various wrong doings. Naz winks to his corner during the 9th round as he begins to pick off Soto more easily and blood starts to flow from Soto's battered nose. Coming to his corner at the end of the round Naz tells them that he believes that he broke Soto's nose in the last round.

Naz was warned by the referee again in the 10th and now has a bit of damage under his right eye. In round 12 Naz lets fly with a lovely left which was taking Soto down but Soto grabs hold of Naz and pulls him down as well. Soto has fought a poor fight so far, he started well but has been absolutely rubbish since the 3rd round. Soto's fight plan must have been to just grab and wrestle and he has helped spoil what should have been a really good fight. The fight goes to the scorecards and Naz is a clear winner even though he was deducted 2 points and he can add the WBC belt to his collection. Naz receives lots of criticism after the Soto fight and to add to this is stripped of his newly won WBC belt when he refuses to give up the WBO belt. It is announced that Naz will fight again on the 11th March 2000 and that he will take on Junior Jones who, some say is on the way down but has a record which proves that he has the skill and ability to put on a good fight even though he has struggled to win his last 2 fights.

The fight with Junior Jones was called off when Jones decided that he was worth more than the money he was being offered to fight Naz. Several possibilitys for new opponents have been named including Paul Ingle, Steve Robinson and Vuyani Bungu and the favourite being Steve Robinson because he is the WBO number 1 ranked contender. The oponent for the next fight is named as Vuyani Bungu who has 'never' been knocked out in his career and has only lost 2 fights, both on points. The press and boxing's commentators and journalists seem to prefer the new choice of opponent with some actually tipping Bungu to cause an upset and beat Naz. Many believe that even though Bungu has not fought for 13 months his high workrate and style will cause Naz a lot of problems and that Bungu will wear Naz down. The 11th of March arrives and in front of a packed crowd Bungu makes his way to the ring following a strange shouting 'witchdoctor' who is warning off evil spirits and whatever else he was supposed to be achieving.

Bungu arrives at the ring and moves to his corner and stares into the crowd and along with one of his entourage spots a person from NazWorld in the crowd about 8 rows back holding up a t-shirt with the NazWorld website address on it as well as the phrase Bung-Who! Naz is announced and he makes one of his most fantastic, and supposedly last, entertaining entrances sweeping in on a flying carpet high above the crowd to the music of Puff Daddy who leads him to the ring when his carpet lands. Once again the NazWorld/Bung-Who! t-shirt appears and this time it's on Sky Box Office as the cameras flick to it seconds before Naz flips over the rope and into the ring. After all the particulars are done the fight begins. From the off Naz looks more focused than he has been for his last few fights as he moves purposefully around the ring working shots to the head and body of Bungu. Naz is caught by a shot from Bungu but hardly seems to notice as he gives Bungu a decent shot in return which seems to make Bungu's knees wobble.

Round 2 begins and Naz keeps to the style from round 1 unleashing more shots to the body than he has done in his last few fights. Naz once again wins this round and looks in blistering form as he avoids the usual showboating and demonstrates why he is the greatest featherweight. In the 3rd round Naz begins to pick the pace up more and has Bungu in trouble but seems to hold back not wanting to finish the job yet as it seems he could have done since round 2. Bungu looks bewildered as he returns to his corner and the busy, frustrating style has not had any effect on Naz and he has lost all 3 rounds so far and is not even in the fight yet. Round 4 begins very much as round 3 ended with Naz again on top and half way into the round it's all over as Naz fakes one way, jabs Bungu to the head and then blasts a straight left through Bungus open guard and hits him on the chin.

Bungu crashes to the canvas any his glazed eyes roll in his head as he trys to focus and see where he is and he rises just after the count of 10 but is obviously in no shape to continue as he stumbles about the ring and into the arms of the referee who leads him back to his corner. End of Quote Following the Bungu fight Hamed finally offered to fight long time WBO number one challenger, Juan Manuel Marquez . Marquez turned down the fight saying that he wanted more money. Hamed finally fought Augie Sanchez. Sanchez was a very hard puncher and a skilled amateur who once beat Floyd Mayweather . They engaged in a war in which both fighters were stunned. Naz finally won by devastating KO in the fourth round which left Sanchez in a stretcher. After this fight Hamed relinquished his WBO title. Some people say it was because Istvan Kovacs was the WBO number one contender and Hamed didn't want to face a technical boxer who would give him problems. Hamed got rid of his title and opted to fight Marco Antonio Barrera . At the time, Barrera was coming off a stunning fight with Erik Morales that was considered to be the fight of the year.

Hamed offered to fight Barrera, saying that he felt MAB was the true winner of the fight, and most of the boxing media agreed. Hamed vs. Barrera was set for April 7th, 2001 at the MGM Grand Hotel. This was Hamed's first fight in Las Vegas. Prior to the fight, he trained very little, according to his trainer, Emanuel Steward , and according to a BBC documentary regarding the fight. Steward claims Hamed would constantly be watching MAB's KO loss to Junior Jones instead of watching his more recent fights where Barrera had looked good. Barrera defeated Naseem when the two finally met. Barrera suprised most by using his boxing skills rather then by brawling and counterpunching. Following this fight Hamed had one more fight against Manuel Calvo for the IBO title. Hamed won the fight but didn't come close to scoring a knockout. This led people to believe that Hamed was over the hill. Perhaps Hamed himself agreed; following this fight he has seemingly retired from the sport. He is said to be in the real estate development business and enjoying retirement.

Hamed will always be remembered for attracting new fans to the sport and for bringing more attention and money to the lower weight divisions.

Sheffield boxer Prince Naseem Hamed has spoken of his desire to get back into the boxing ring - more than three years since his last competitive bout against Manuel Calvo in May 2002. Hamed quit the ring after a poor performance against the Spaniard Calvo, failing to impress fans despite winning the vacant IBO world title. The self-styled Prince will need to lose, in boxing terms, a considerable amount of weight if he is to make a return to the featherweight division, but the 31-year-old is confident he is ready after a long lay-off. "I've been spending plenty of quality time with my two sons and my wife and parents - basically just chilling," Hamed told the BBC. "I've been boxing since the age of seven and it got to a time where I just thought I could take a break, and that's what I did. "There's not many people that want to take breaks while they're in the prime of their career, but thank God I could do that. Now it's time to do a bit more work and get back into it and hopefully be fighting next year.

"There's one thing I've always stuck to and that is I will never fight another Muslim in the ring" Naseem Hamed "If everything goes right in training, which I think it will do, we're making plans for early to the middle of next year to be fighting again. "I've really missed boxing, because I've been doing it for a hell of a long time, and I consider myself not bad at it. But then again I think boxing has missed me, it's time to get back and do some stuff. "My confidence has really never gone, I've always known the ability is there and I'm very confident as you know. What can I say, I'm just raring to go after a good three-year lay-off, and just want to prove one of the biggest entertainers in the sport is going to be back again to entertain the public." Many observers question whether Naseem could clamber back to the top of the boxing tree after such a long absence from the sport. But the man himself is in no doubt he can recapture former glories. "Most definitely, I believe I can be even better," he said. "I'm stronger and more mature now, I'm older in that way. But you never know.

It's yet to be proved and there's plenty of people out there that are going to be watching so let's bring it on. "There's no opponents as yet, we're just talking to TV, especially out there in the States, they've been wanting to sign a six-fight contract. But the training's the main thing at the minute, going back into that full blast and getting myself ready. Then hopefully next year they'll be a nice fight on the horizon." It seems likely Hamed will make his comeback in the US, particularly if a television deal is agreed out there, but any talk of fighting Bolton light-welterweight Amir Khan is quickly dismissed Hamed defeats Robinson to win the WBO belt in '95 "To be honest with he's a different weight to me and I think he'll get bigger, but there's one thing I've always stuck to and that is I will never fight another Muslim in the ring. "I might spar with him, or I might teach him a few tricks, but even if there was $1 billion or £1m offered I'd never get in the ring with another Muslim, it's against my principles.

"He's a young kid that's a fantastic talent who's coming through now, and has had an unbelievable career so far and he's only 18. "He's yet to do what I started to do when I was 18. At 19 I was European champion and at 21 I was world champion. Let's just hope Amir Khan can follow in the same footsteps, I believe he can do it 100%, he's a fantastic talent." Sheffield has become a hotbed for good fighters since Hamed was last in the ring, so will he fight in his hometown again? "I'd love to," Hamed said. "Hopefully It won't just be the States, London or Manchester, it would be good to sort something out in Sheffield. I'd love to come back in my home city where I'm born and bred... I love being here, I'd never move. Hamed was equally fulsome in his appreciation of the growth of boxing in the Steel City. "It's brilliant, it's good that we've had that interest in a short space of time," he said. "I believe it can only get stronger now in Sheffield, we're getting to be known and the fight game's getting stronger in Sheffield.

"It's good for Sheffield and it's good for all the fighters in Sheffield - we've always been a fighting city from day one." The confirmation of Hamed's intention to return now poses the question of who will promote the featherweight. "We don't know yet," Hamed said. "But I don't think it will be hard to find someone to promote me, they'll be knocking on the door once they've heard this interview, don't worry about that."

Naseem Hamed (Arabic: نسيم حميد, Nasīm Ḥamīd; also known as Prince Naseem; born 12 February 1974) is an English former professional boxer.

He is the former WBO, WBC, IBF, and Lineal featherweight champion, and European bantamweight champion. Hamed was known for his boxing antics and spectacular ring entrances that have included entering the ring via a Chevrolet Impala, a flying carpet, an elevator, and a palanquin; re-enacting the video of Michael Jackson's Thriller; and wearing a Halloween mask. He was also known for his front somersault over the top rope into the ring. Hamed started boxing professionally at Flyweight in 1992. He soon began rising through the ranks as he knocked out a series of opponents in the opening rounds. Age 20 he won the European bantamweight title, comprehensively beating the beleaguered Vincenzo Belcastro over twelve rounds. Hamed's popularity grew, his unorthodox style winning a large fan base and his boxing antics generating a large group of detractors. After signing for Frank Warren, Hamed, employing more spectacular entrances, knocked out better opposition in Enrique Angeles and Juan Polo Pérez, both within two rounds. Legacy and impact Hamed's boxing career is seen by many experts in the sport as one of unfulfilled potential.

Hamed was referenced by legendary hip-hop artist Nas in the song "You Won't See Me Tonight", with the lyrics "I can't forget how I met you, you thought I was a boxer/ Prince Naseem, but I'm a mobster, Nas from Queens". Hamed himself recorded a song with hip hop group Kaliphz called "Walk Like a Champion", which reached number 23 in the UK Singles Chart in 1996. British boxing pundit Steve Bunce stated on the 15 March 2008 edition of BBC panel show Fighting Talk that Hamed was the greatest British boxer of all time. World Boxing, a sister publication of the more famous The Ring Magazine, ranked Hamed as the 11th greatest British boxer of all-time. The Ring also ranked Hamed as the 46th greatest puncher of all-time.

Journalist Daniel Fletcher, in a 10-year anniversary commemoration of the end of Hamed's career, "Requiem for Naseem", referred to Hamed as "the most talented fighter to ever live", one of history's première featherweights and British boxers, and that while his career ended prematurely at the age of 28, he still managed to dominate his weight class for six years and boast some formidable achievements.

May Allaah (Jalla Jalaalahu) Multiply all his sincere deeds by resonating the benefit of his works to later generations and Cause his legacy to continuously act as a guide to non-Muslims as well as a tool for Muslims to gain beneficial knowledge until Yawmul-Qiyaamah and Cause it all to be a means of Sadaqah-Jaariyah & Pleasure for him in the Barzakh, and ultimately Grant him & his family Jannatul-Firdaws, Inshaa Allaah!

Selasa, 07 Oktober 2008 Naseem Hamed Biography Naseem Hamed (born November 1 , 1974 ) is a British boxer and former Bantamweight and Featherweight champion born to Yemeni parents who emigrated to Sheffield . Hamed adopted the moniker "Prince" Naseem Hamed, (although he is not a prince and has no royal or noble lineage) He is known for his flashy and arrogant style, colourful ring entrances, unorthodox southpaw stance, and explosive power. Hamed's spectacular ring entrances have included being deposited in the middle of the ring by an elevator, which was set up specially for the event near the roof of the Manchester arena, being carried into the ring on a palanquin , walking into the ring on a fashion runway style walk way, and walking into the ring with a Halloween mask for his fight with McCullough (fought on Halloween night of 1998). Hamed is also known for unorthodox behaviour outside the ring. He had an altercation at Heathrow Airport with former world champion Chris Eubank , showing off his belts and reminding Eubank that he was no longer a champion.

He was managed by Barry Hearn then Frank Warren and finally by his eldest brother Riath Hamed. In May 2006 he was jailed for 15 months for dangerous driving but was granted an early release in September 2006. [1] It has been claimed that when he was jailed, he weighed 170-180 lb, well over the featherweight limit (126 lb) where he was a defending world champion.[ citation needed ] The MBE he was awarded in the New Year Honours 1999 was revoked in December 2006, after his conviction. [2] Biography Early career He began boxing at the age of 7 when his father sent him to Ingle's gym to learn to fend for himself because he was very small. [3] At the age of 12 he was a top amateur boxer in England and Europe , and at 18 he signed his first contract as a pro. Hamed's elusive, hands-down style was developed at Brendan Ingle 's St. Thomas Boxing school gym in Wincobank , Sheffield.

and was strongly influenced by the gym's star fighter in the mid-1980s, Herol 'Bomber' Graham . Hamed started boxing professionally at Flyweight in 1992. He soon began rising through the ranks as he knocked out a series of opponents in the opening rounds. Age 20 he won the European Bantamweight title, comprehensively beating the beleaguered Vincenzo Belcastro in twelve rounds. After one defence he added the WBC International Super-Bantamweight title to his C.V in 1994, overwhelming Freddy Cruz in Sheffield, whom he knocked out in the sixth round. Hamed's popularity grew, his unorthodox style winning a large fan base, and his arrogance generating a large group of detractors. After signing for Frank Warren, Hamed, employing spectacular entrances in which he began somersaulting over the top rope and entering the arena to Here Comes the Hotstepper , knocked out increasingly good opposition such as Jose Badillo and Juan Polo Perez.

Later in 1995, arguably his finest year, Hamed moved up to featherweight having been named number one contender to face Wales' defending WBO world Featherweight champion Steve Robinson . Hamed won the fight, knocking out his opponent in 8 rounds in front of Robinson's home crowd in Cardiff . [3] His first defence came against Austrian based Nigerian , Said Lawal, knocking him out in only 45 seconds. This was the fastest world title fight ever held in Scotland . Defending his titles Hamed's title defences included a fight against Puerto Rican Daniel Alicea . The fight was televised to the United States by Showtime and Hamed was carried to the ring on a throne. Shockingly, he was dropped in round one. While in his corner, Hamed was advised to temporarily abandon his hands-down stance in favour of a conventional defence. Upon returning to the fight, he won by a knockout in round 2. Hamed's next fight was in Dublin against former two time world champion Manuel Medina . Hamed received a tough fight against the Mexican, despite dropping him three times. The end came when the ring side doctor advised Medina's corner to stop the fight. Hamed fought with a heavy flu.

His next opponent was Remigio Daniel Molina from Argentina, Hamed stopped him in two rounds. The next opponent was IBF world champion Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson who was defeated in 8 rounds in a unification bout at the London Arena . Johnson was saved further punishment by the referee , who stopped the fight. The new WBO and IBF world champion successfully defended his titles against Juan Gerardo Carbrera. In 1997 he flew to the United States to fight there for the first time. His ceremonious arrival on the British Airways Concorde was covered by multiple media outlets. There, he and former 2 time WBC Featherweight champion of the world Kevin Kelley fought in Ring Magazine's fight of the year at the Madison Square Garden in New York . This fight marks something of a watershed in Hamed's career, as he was forced, for the first time, to abandon his hands-down style of fighting throughout the entire course of the bout, given the calibre of Kelley. Nonetheless, despite being dropped three times himself, Hamed put Kelley down for a third and final time to win by a fourth round knockout. This was his first of many fights on HBO .

The fight was ranked 100th in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Sporting Moments in 2002. Naseem relinquished his IBF belt due to the conflict in interests between the IBF and WBO. In 1998 Hamed enjoyed victories over former 3 time WBA world champion Wilfredo Vazquez (KO in 7), Former WBC Bantamweight world champion Wayne McCullough (W 12), and in 1999 the WBC World Featherweight champion Cesar Soto . The Soto fight was a very controversial match due to the latter rounds in which Soto would apply pressure by clinching Hamed, but Hamed countered by tackling Soto to the ground and using several "misplaced" knees to Soto's groin and head, which knocked the wind out of Soto. [4] A simple point was deducted and the fight continued, ending with an Hamed victory (W 12) allowing him to add the world Featherweight championship to his resume.

Had Vazquez not been (deliberately) stripped by the WBA of his belt (they did not want their featherweight title unified with the WBO) Hamed would have the distinction of being the first boxer to hold all four world titles in a division. This is an overlooked accomplishment of Prince Naseem. The WBA would not grant him a subsequent shot at their championship. As with the IBF belt two years previous, Naseem had to relinquish his WBC world belt due to his commitment to being WBO champion. After this, Naseem vowed to put boxing politics behind him. Dethroned by Barrera Hamed finally lost on April 7, 2001 at the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas. His record at the time was 35-0 and his opponent, Marco Antonio Barrera had a record of 52-3. The bout was delayed a full hour as Hamed's elaborate entrance, involving fireworks, loud music, spectacular lighting, and conveyance to the ring on a motorised seat suspended from a catwalk, was prepared. Before the fight, Hamed was a heavy underdog with bookmaker's odds of 8:1 consistently in his contrast.

Hamed could not hit Barrera with his trademark lefts as the Mexican champion circled to his left and worked both head and body. Barrera was not a fan of Hamed's antics and responded to Hamed's punches during clinches. On one occasion early in the fight, Hamed grabbed Barrera and they both fell to the ground where Barrera threw a really powerful right hook leading to a warning from referee Joe Cortez . Ultimately, Barrera threw more punches, harder punches, and more impressive combinations. Barrera was awarded the victory via a unanimous decision, with the scorecards reading 115-112, 115 -112, 116-111, and won the vacant IBO Featherweight title. In the 12th and final round Barrera trapped Hamed in a hold, and nudged his head into the turnbuckle , resulting in a point deducted by referee Joe Cortez . Quite notably, Prince Naseem's trainer Emanuel Steward has made criticisms to the training schedules of his fighter before and after the fight according to the BBC channel in which the trainer has threatened to quit training Prince Naseem.

Last Fight On the 18th May 2002, Hamed returned to the ring against a nobody for what was his final fight against the European Champion Manuel Calvo. The fight was for the vacant IBO Featherweight Title vacated by the man who inflicted Naseem's only loss, Barrera. Naseem won the fight on a unanimous decision, but it was far from a convincing performance. The old swagger, speed and punching accuracy appeared to be gone. Vague talk of a return to the sport has swirled around the fighter ever since, but no firm plans have ever been made. Style Hamed employed a unique style that flummoxed lower-caliber opponents and contributed to his tremendous popularity. Hamed's most powerful punch was a straight left that was known to knock strong fighters out in a single shot. He rarely threw combinations in excess of three punches, which were usually composed of two right jabs followed by a straight left, hook, or uppercut. Because Hamed threw his left with such ferocity, he often lost his balance, a stylistic defect that opponents such as Kelley and Marco Antonio Barrera took advantage of.

For defence, Hamed relied mainly on his sharp reflexes to avoid his adversaries' punches, rarely blocking shots and preferring to back away from strong attacks. His quick feet prevented him from getting stuck against the ropes or in corners. Hamed clinched infrequently, primarily because he was not usually sufficiently fatigued to warrant such tactics. When in clinches he would often throw lefts to opponents' heads. Hamed was also known to clown around in the ring. When hit cleanly he would smile at opponents, make faces, shake his head, and shrug his shoulders to indicate that he was unhurt. Hamed sometimes danced in the ring and, ever the showman, usually entered by doing a flip over the ropes. Hamed's opponents did not generally respond to his taunts and horseplay, but his best, Barrera, was sufficiently infuriated by Hamed's flippancy to drive "Naz's" head into a turnbuckle in the twelfth round of their fight costing himself a point. Naseem was never the same without his first coach and mentor Brendan Ingle .

His unique style was understood by the man who helped hone it, and Emmanuel Steward and others who trained Hamed for his later bouts tried to introduce combination punching and other methods he was unused to. Criticism In the eyes of hardened supporters and some observers, both despite and because of flaws in his style of fighting, Hamed had earned a false reputation of invulnerability by the time of his fight with Barrera. As one Boxing reviewer wrote, "He does everything wrong except lose". It was the view of many by this point that, regardless of the opponent presented, as long as that challenger weighed within 10 lb , he would simply and inevitably lose; any measure of success against Hamed only decreased the opponents final standing, being all the more badly bruised and marked for lasting 12 rounds. Nor did it seem to help if you succeeded in knocking Hamed down; all of the three men who had succeeded in punching him to the canvas, namely Alicea, Kelley, and Sanchez had ultimately been knocked out in increasingly brutal fashion over the years, culminating finally with the carrying away of Sanchez on a stretcher in 2000.

In the eyes of a few boxing cognoscenti , however, Hamed's downfall was only a matter of time.[ citation needed ] They pointed to the increasing instances of opponents knocking him down and lasting 12 rounds; they attributed this both to Hamed's own declining qualities, i.e. dulling reflexes , worsening defence etc, and also to the slight changing of his style due to his new trainers Oscar Suarez and Emmanuel Steward. It was in 2001, to the shock of the great majority of the Boxing community, and to the gratification of a smaller minority of experts and detractors, that Hamed suffered his first loss, being beaten comprehensively by Barrera, a champion of long standing, to lose the WBO's version of the Featherweight title. He fought a single return match in 2002 against the European Featherweight champion Manuel Calvo of Spain , and annexed the IBO title with a 12 round unanimous decision , despite a knockdown suffered in round seven.

Despite, or in some cases because of Hamed's re-styling of himself as The Fresh Prince, a nickname hinting at a return to the combination punching, fleet footwork and inaccessibility to inbound punches that typified his pre-Kevin Kelley fights, many of his fans as well as some boxing magazines were left unimpressed by his performance, indeed loudly expressing discontent at the continued deterioration of his skills, many seats around the ring becoming vacant in the latter rounds. There was often speculation about Hamed making a return to the ring. In November 2005, Hamed announced he was considering the possibility of a return to the ring. [5] Controversy outside the ring On 2 May 2005 Hamed was involved in a 90-mph three-car collision at Ringinglow Road, Sheffield , while driving his £300,000 silver McLaren-Mercedes SLR . He was arrested on 3 May , released on bail and later charged at Sheffield Magistrates Court on 3 December [6] . On 31 March 2006 Hamed entered a plea of guilty, and was warned he could face jail by a judge at Sheffield Crown Court [7] .

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Alan Goldsack, adjourned the case until 12 May to allow pre-sentence reports to be prepared. The court heard how the man in the car Hamed hit, later revealed as 38-year-old Anthony Burgin, who had attended a number of previous hearings, was unable to come to court because he was in hospital for further treatment. His wife Clare was also injured. On 12 May the court heard in a sentencing hearing how Hamed had been anxious to impress businessman Asif Goro (aged 46), who was a passenger in the McLaren-Mercedes at the time of the crash. Hamed was showing what his car could do when he crossed a solid white line at a speed of at least 90 mph and crashed head-on into a Volkswagen Golf that emerged from a dip in the road. Hamed's car then hit a second vehicle, the Ford Mondeo he had been trying to overtake. Mr. Burgin, the driver of the Volkswagen Golf, was very seriously injured, breaking every major bone in his body and suffering bruising to the brain [1] . Hamed escaped unhurt.

Hamed was jailed for 15 months after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing. He was also given a four-year driving ban. Judge Alan Goldsack, told Hamed: "I find it astonishing that the DVLA has not been prepared to co-operate with the prosecution to give them details of your earlier offences - apparently on human rights grounds." The DVLA's decision led to Hamed being sentenced without the judge being told he had previously been banned for a year for driving a Porsche at 110mph on the M1 in Derbyshire . It was also revealed that Hamed had three other previous convictions for speeding offences, details of which the prosecution had to find from court records. Hamed was granted an early release and left prison on 4 September 2006 after serving 16 weeks of the 15 month sentence. Hamed was placed under Home Detention Curfew for the remainder of his sentence, and monitored by an electronic tag .

Anthony Burgin, the driver whom Hamed collided with, said: "I am shocked that after such a serious accident Mr Hamed has been released after less than four months." Nevertheless, the appointment of Hamed to be a "Member of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" (otherwise known as an MBE) was annulled as a consequence of the convication. [2] There was also a civil court case rumoured to cost Hamed up to £1 million plus legal costs, as Burgin was deemed unable ever to work again. [8] Burgin was later arrested and charged with dangerous driving for an incident alleged to have involved Eleasha Hamed (the wife of Naseem) on April 19 , 2007 . Burgin pled not guilty, and appeared in court on March 17 , 2008 , [9] following which he was cleared of charges. [10] Legacy and impact As popular lower weight fighters like Oscar de la Hoya and Kostya Tszyu moved into the mid-weight classes and the Mexican champion Julio César Chávez declined, Hamed and Arturo Gatti filled the void.

Hamed's power made him the new poster-boy for lighter-weight boxers and his charisma attracted a large number of fans. Hamed has also been referenced by the rapper Nas in the song "You Won't See Me Tonight", with the lyrics "I can't forget how I met you//you thought I was a boxer//Prince Naseem but I'm a mobster, Nas from Queens". Hamed himself recorded a song with hip hop group Kaliphz called "Walk Like A Champion", which reached number 23 in the UK Singles Chart in 1996. Former fighters and boxing purists also question any right he has to greatness. Following the loss to Barrera he failed to take advantage of a return clause in the fight contract. [11] It is argued that for a fighter to be considered great he must at least try to hunt down those who have beaten him to obtain a rematch. Fighters such as Thomas Hearns chasing down Ray Leonard, Shane Mosley chasing down both Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright, and also Lennox Lewis ensuring that Hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall gave rematches immediately are examples of behaviour befitting a fighter who believes he is still the best.

[12] Following the loss to Barrera, Hamed, his confidence apparently shattered since he didn't want to fight Barrera on a rematch, he faded from view. Respected British boxing pundit Steve Bunce stated on the March 15 , 2008 edition of BBC panel show Fighting Talk that Hamed was the greatest British boxer of all time, in his opinion.
