Naseem Hamed

Prince Naseem Hamed is one of those athletes I find impossible to look away from. A 165 cm featherweight from Sheffield who somersaulted over the ropes on his way in, he turned a so-called minor weight class into must-see global theatre. Plenty dismissed the showmanship as arrogance, but I see a genuine star who understood that boxing is part sport, part spectacle. In just a decade, from 1992 to 2002, he stacked up multiple world titles before bowing out, and his 2015 Hall of Fame induction sealed it. I admire fighters who burn bright and brief, and Naz did exactly that.
