	BoxingTimes.com - Naseem Hamed vs. Wayne McCullough (October 31, 1998)
		Hamed's speed and reflexes, however, proved to great a task for the former WBC bantamweight king from Northern Ireland to overcome.
		Hamed (31-0, 28 KO's) switched back and forth with different stances throughout the bout but was most effective fighting as a southpaw.
		Hamed didn't follow up the blow but choose to retreat and continually nail the challenger with a series of snapping right jabs that were borderline backhand shots.

	Naseem Hamed at AllExperts
		Naseem Hamed (born February 12 1974, in Sheffield, United Kingdom) is a British boxer and former Featherweight champion born to Yemeni parents who emigrated to Sheffield.
		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 him a point.
		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.

	BoxingTimes.com - Prince Naseem Hamed vs. Augie Sanchez (August 19, 2000)
		Hamed hit the deck on the seat of his trunks, almost rolled over on his back and quickly popped back up shaking his head but with blood dripping from his nose.
		Hamed let the cobwebs clear for a few seconds and then hammered Sanchez with a leaping right hook high on the temple followed by a ripping left cross over the eye.
		Hamed grabbed the top strand of the ropes as he was reeling backwards to maintain his balance.

	Prince Naseem's fall from grace \| the Daily Mail
		Hamed’s glittering career (36 fights, 31 knockouts, 35 victories) drew comparisons with Muhammad Ali; but thanks to a voracious appetite for junk food, he has gone from fighting featherweight to ‘heavyweight’ (5ft 2in and nearly 13 stone) and no longer packs the punch he used to.
		Perhaps Hamed wasn’t aware of this when Mr Burgin was trapped in the mangled wreck of his VW Golf in 2004, or when his victim spent three-and-a-half weeks in intensive care, or when he appeared in court with one arm protected by a metal cage.
		Hamed was overtaking a queue of traffic on the brow of a hill — something he has being doing for as long as anyone can remember — when he ploughed into Anthony Burgin’s VW Golf.

	Naseem leaves jail early in a stretch limo \| News \| Telegraph
		Naseem Hamed, the former world boxing champion, walked out of prison punching the air yesterday after serving only 16 weeks of a 15-month sentence for dangerous driving.
		Hamed had taken Asif Ayub, a businessman, for a ride to "show off" his car — registration NAS 1 — and had travelled only half a mile from his home when the crash happened.
		Hamed said he left the crash scene because other drivers were horrified by what they had witnessed and he feared an "ugly incident" might develop if he remained there.

	Naseem Hamed - Definition, explanation
		Hamed rose swiftly through the ranks and in (un)popularity, his excitingly unorthodox style winning a large fan base, and his innate arrogance generating a large group of 'anti-fans'.
		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 battle, given the calbre of Kelley.
		It was in 2001 therefore, to the shock of the great majority of the Boxing community, and to the gratification of a smaller minority of experts and 'anti-fans', that Hamed suffered his first loss, being beaten comprehensively by Marco Antonio Barrera, a champion of long standing, to lose the WBO's version of the Featherweight title.

	Naseem Hamed Should Be Helping Amir Khan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Naseem Hamed was the youngest Britain ever to become a world champion, and now he can show the hallmark of his class by helping Amir Khan to better it.
		Naseem had purists gritting their teeth and gnashing their gums, with his unorthodox handicraft, while Amir’s more conventional skills won him an Olympic silver medal.
		Naseem was a featherweight, while Amir is a bit bigger as a lightweight, and like Oscar De La Hoya has shown, there’s room to grow with age.

	Naseem Hamed: The Prince’s Place in History
		Hamed, with Chris Eubank, Michael Watson, Nigel Benn and Lennox Lewis was once one of the finest British fighters of the 1990s.
		Hamed was a precocious little man. He started off his professional career boxing as a bantamweight but quickly moved up a division to the featherweights where he rapidly stood out as something outstanding and unique.
		Hamed’s last nail in the coffin of the gradual slope into the sludge was splitting with Frank Warren (his promoter) and Brendan Ingle (his trainer) who had been with him since he was just seven.

		She broke down as former world champion Hamed, 32, was sentenced for dangerous driving in a “suicidal” manoeuvre that left another motorist clinging to life.
		Hamed’s solicitor Steve Smith said later: “One of the disappointments probably is that his celebrity status has not been of assistance.
		Hamed, who has been banned from driving twice before, was also disqualified for four years by a judge who attacked his “persistent disregard of the speeding laws”.

	Marco Antonio Barrera Prince Naseem Hamed boxing
		I would be the last to knock Hamed's religious convictions but I do believe that as a fighter he must accept responsibility for his actions when he enters the ring and the truth is that he fought without passion and seemingly without any kind of tactic against a supreme technician.
		Emanuel Steward, now departed from the Hamed camp has publicly voiced his disapproval of the way the fighter's camp was run, especially the sparring and even going as far as to say that in order to build the Prince's confidence, tapes of Barrera's less impressive performances were shown to him.
		Personally I find it hard to believe that Hamed didn't see the Barrera-Morales fight where he was at his destructive best, possibly though the camp didn't go through how Barrera could conceivably outbox their man using his height and reach advantages, relying too much on the force of Hamed's power to overcome that obstacle.

	Naseem Hamed and Michael Brodie: Trading places?
		Meanwhile, Manchester's Michael Brodie, ranked #3 by the WBC and #8 by the IBF - higher than Hamed in both cases - was involved in a thrilling battle on the undercard with Argentine Pastor Maurin that he won impressively, albeit after a few scares.
		Naseem Hamed won the vacant IBO featherweight last night in an unconvincing comeback after his defeat to Marco Antonio Barrera in April.
		Those who believe that Hamed had been working on a new style of fighting may have proven their theory, as Naz avoided punches by moving back on his feet, rather than jerking his head back like the Naz of old.

		Naseem Hamed was born in Sheffield in 1974 to Yemeni parents; he has described himself as 'a Yorkshireman first and a Yemeni second'.
		The day before the match, Hamed was joined by his barber, his father and finally his wife Alicia and their two sons; they would spend the night before the match apart.
		Hamed may be on the verge of bowing out; alternatively, we may see the return of his cocky, dauntless showmanship, enriched with a greater tactical sense.
