Feel sorry for the people that paid lots of money for a ringside seat. How dull?
These two fatties couldn't go through 2 minutes of bashing each othere without hugging each other as well. They need to get fit.
The crowd knew it. By the 10th, the crowd was backing whoever could be bothered to even throw a punch.

Originally posted by marcusAlmost as bad as the fight was the news that Hamad plans a return to the ring. Hes earnt his money, proven himself and will be regarded as a great, he doesnt look in any sort of shape for a comeback, why not quit the ring and enjoy life.
Hamed will almost certainly be regarded as an extremely arrogant and cocky poseur who was good against has-beens, never weres and never would-bes, but couldn't cut it against true world-class opposition (note the 12-round boxing lesson handed to him by Marco Antonio Barrera years ago).
But I agree with most of what you've said marcus. I personally don't want to see Hamed return to boxing. He made outrageous money when he was younger and should just get on with life - he can't possibly have the hunger for it again, can he?Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 11-12-2005, 08:39.

He is also a danger to the streets. He is out on bail after a car crash in the summer. I think he fled from the scene of the crash. He also said that he wouldn't fight Khan because he is a muslim. I don't believe that, I think he wouldn't fight Khan becasue he knows Amir would beat his chubby face black and blue.Last edited by Kieran76; 11-12-2005, 09:29.

Hamed was an irritating little **** (judging by the interview last night he still is), but the guy could box.
Isnt the Heavyweight division at an all time low now. To think our hopes rest on a guy who barely threw a punch for an entire fight (Harrison), its a far cry from Lewis aint it. Even the commentator talked about the often-mocked Bruno, but Im pretty sure he would of knocked seven bells of **** outta Harrison last night.

Originally posted by Nu-EclipseYeah...against guys who clearly weren't good enough.
Hamed beat a lot of good boxers but just not Barrera who, frankly, was an amazing boxer.
Hamed did have 16 world title fights.
The BBC, rather amazingly, have him as the 4th best British boxer of all time.
