Prince Naseem Hamed 2013 LIVE Interview With Sky Sports - Sporting Heroes (Amazing Truth) 

Some wanted to see him win, some lose, but we all wanted to see him fight

he was one of the greatest and most entertaining fighters of all time.nobody can question that.

Wow, 16 world title fights (first as a challenger, 15 successfully defending the title), before he lost. 37 fights in total, 36 wins, and 31 of them by knockout. Family man. Ruled primarily by humility and religion. This, objectively, is what you can easily describe as one of the most satisfying win over life. Deserves nothing but respect!

Naseem your a legend.

He only lost one fight. He is one of the greatest of all time in my book,no matter what.

This guy is a great fighter. I dont care that he is an Arab. The man was the most exciting guy to watch when he was going. Period. He lost to Barrera but styles makes fights.

haha looks he went 12 rounds against McDonald's and lost

Naseem's current weight division: HEAVYWEIGHT! haha!

Back in tha day, this man was incredible, pure entertainment. We need more all round boxer/entertainers, not the boring klitchkos and gayweathers of today. All boxers put on weight when they hang up the gloves, look at tyson, ricky hatton etc so stop actin kids y'all keyboard warriors.

Naz came into the ring as a prince but left as a LEGEND!!!!!!!

Why y'all say he's a joke he's funny humble nice guy respect

most boxer gain when they stop training... so yea get over it.

What a legend!!! Respect Naseem I'd like to meet him one of my best friend boxer no longer with us and I used to watch him fight back in the 90's

Funny how no one would call Ali arrogant . Naz was awesome.

WOW too many haters, well, he got around over £30 million in bank, a wife, 3 kids and good health and too many lazy wankers wish they were him if provided with a chance.....but no, he earned it, that's why champions are champions and wankers are just talk for nothing..!! He achieved international recognition, and world respect (not from lazy wankers, but from word leading athletes in boxing word and others.. Lazy wankers, gets you tube to rant as usual.. Not my favorite character, but hey, he is an achiever... no.. an over achiever.. rants are under achievers for this arena I guess...

NAZ ... You'll always be remembered for the awesome signature style you've left behind you in boxing history ... for now, you really deserve to just relax n enjoy watching your old days vids!

He is a proud Muslim and a proud Arab! And for those who don't respect that and doesn't like him for his roots and religion well they r racist and jealous of him for what he is and what he did.

This is a great interview. Its sad Prince Naseem ended his career a bit early he had such scary and a under-rated chin. Still believe he had another good 5 more fights in his prime. He def would have beat Morales and Junior Jones. He said something in this interview that struck me. He said his cofidence always made him know he was gonna win the fight. Against Barrera he looked so unconfident. Either way he still is a legend of the sport.

The most entertaining boxer of all time after muhammad ali and mike tyson.. amir khan is following him close behind.. and guess what they are all muslims.. killed it..

not my cup of tea as a person,but can remember watching him play with steve robinson in a way i've not seen anybody do in a ring since.

Damn I missed naseem he took boxing to the next level

Легенда объединивший серьёзный бокс с артистизмом!

Putting on weight no doubt but still a legend, say what you want still but he never got KO'd, only ever lost once, 31 wins by KO/TKO, put on a show, most would love to have lived that life, if you wanna disrespect someone do it to the celebs that spent their money on gambling and hard drugs then ended up committing suicide due to their wrong doings, sure he's a bit of a show of but he's one of the lads 👍👍👍

I thought this was an interview with prince Naseem, not the man who ate him ;) :p haha

He was and still is one of my heroes 💯 I was just a kid when I seen him on tv knocking mutherfuckers out

ياليت والمقابلة كانت مترجمة للعربي نسيم رفعت راس اليمن والعرب والمسلمين تحياتي لك ولاأخوتك الله يرحم والدك الاصيل رحمة الله تغشاه

People who do not nor have not ever "Boxed" will always disrespect those that do or have. Its called cowardice and false-bravado. Prince Naseem was and is an outstanding master of `Boxing. Like to see him coach youngsters at some point. Guy beat everybody. Lost to Barrera on points; not KO`d or stopped by MAB....Show respect! Only a man who has not been at the sharp end or trained brutally would dare disrespect a great fighter. My regards to Naz! - Kru Jason

I am looking forward to meeting The Prince in Canastota, New York, at The International Boxing Hall Of Fame, when he gets inducted into the Hall. I am looking forward to shaking his hand, hopefully a photo and an autograph. And telling him how much we loved him and thank him for all the great boxing memories !!

naseem was good fun whether you liked him or not.

i am from sheffield, truly great boxer i once saw him in the probation office after he had been released from prison! really nice guy!!!

I grew up watching him he was such a talented guy and by far my favourite and just a class guy.Who cares if he was Arab?Ihad an Irish accent growing up in Canada and faced the bullshit too but rise above that bullshit don't let anyone take away who you are he was a true prince

MY LEGEND from indonesia

Just think if today's Tory immigration policies were in effect when Nas's father came to the UK Nas would never have had the opportunities he did. Imagine a world without him? Ironic his father managed to carve a career from the very industry David Cameron has carefully neglected over the last 10 years.

LOTS OF NEGATIVE AND HATRED FROM SOME OF THE VIEWERS TOWARDS THIS MAN, BUT THE QUESTION IS WHY? DIDI HE EVER DONE SOMETHING BAD TO THEM? LET ME TELL SOMETHING TO ALL OF YOU HATRED AND NEGATIVED HEARTS, YOU ARE POSSESSING THE DEVIL'S SPIRIT BECAUSE GOD'S SPIRIT IS TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND YOUR NEIGHBORS AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.

i never see a boxer like prince naseem hamed he was the best

Faith will change our world…

Great fighter. Well spoken man. Was a lot of fun to watch. Sold the show!

That's what Mexicans do everyday, travel.thousands of miles to work without english to make a living.

WOW 37 figth 36 WIN 1 LOST AMAZING

lol people talking about his weight. If you worked for 20 years on one craft, got into it's hall of fame, and made millions off it. Pretty sure you'd splurge in your retirement.

people say the camera adds ten pounds......how many cameras are on prince naseem

the guy has a good mind set

اليمني دائماً فخور بجنسيتة ودينة Naseem ,you entertained us . You made boxing look easy. Thank you 🙏 one of the Greatest boxer of all times .

Eating curry and goat cheese and milk made my man prince fatty but he could still knock me out Lol. a lot of haters out there. This dude had natural power just ask Kelly

I used to watch his fights only to see him loose because I though he was so arrogant and disrespectful towards his opponents. This interview completely changed my perception of him. He is actually a very sharp and cool guy who was just promoting his fights and had hell of success with it. That's why he could retire early having earned money for a lifetime.

Fue un gran peleador 👊

NO OFFENCE but I thought he was wearing a FAT Suit

He maybe lost one fight but never been knocked out in his career

Naseem doesn't understand the definition of arrogance. While trying to be convincing explaining that he wasn't arrogant,............ he displayed quite a bit of arrogance.

Islam Is The Peace

Nas looks like he's eating well :D. I really enjoyed him. Fun. Misunderstood fighter: He was a unified champion. Legit power, and rare athleticism. Nas just didn't like to train lol. That can work for a while, but that always catches up with you eventually. I think he'd have been better off fighting Morales. Morales would have been more likely to allow his pride to trade with Prince, like Kevin Kelly did. Barrera was too savvy to get duped into that stuff.

he is a HEAVYWEIGHT now. He should take on klitchko !

His head alone could make the featherweight weight limit of 126 lbs. now.

I love you naseem

The only reason naz lost was due to the lack of love for the game even Emanuel steward said he didn't train like he should have. He was 2 stone overweight and lost all his power and explosiveness. Everyone in the game knows naz was supposed to fight Barrera earlier in his career and in his prime and it was refused. Barrera wanted naz only when he realised he wasn't active.

Brought to you exclusively by Greggs Bakers.

when he says i box for my country . respect Naz at least he nos were he came from .

prince naseems should do a comeback and fight mayweather jr for $20mils

To see greatness and not acknowledge it is to diminish our own greatness. The loveable Muhammad Ali said he was the greatest and he was great but the Prince was greater.

Funny, no mention of ruining the lives of a whole family and then crying for a month in jail before begging to be let out early for house arrest.

Naz, absolute legend, no-one will ever rock the boxing World again in the way Naz did, Naz era was a truly special, unbelievable time, miss those days!

Naz hands down the best talented boxer to come out of uk. My favourite fighter of all time. Tell me anyone who would come to the ring on a flying carpet , make a boxing match into a concert , flip into the ring show confidence, show speed, shower power then BOOM!!!!!!! Hate him or love him you will always remember him. Nobody like him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the competitive spirit of this guy when he was boxing

Fair play to Prince,spoke really well.great interview

He still fights..............with the buffet.

He’s a good man and one hell of a showmen back in the 90’s!!! Respect hamed respect

arrogant? It was pretty arrogant for Ali to stick his head out for Frazier to smash with his leaping left hook but Ali still got the job done because he knew he was the faster, quicker fighter and believed he was the greatest... not arrogant. NAZ was a talented fighter with extreme confidants an the tenacity to win. He possessed knockout power in both hands and could hit with such accuracy that most fighters couldn't tell where they we're coming from. That's how he got most of his knockouts an flash knockdowns because we all know that the ones you don't see always hurts the most.

I would like the Prince to loose weight, and do it once more, for God, and his sons. Like George Foreman at 45.

Rubbish interview. Why didn't He ask why he dumped ingle tge trainer tgat made him. And rematch with Barrera. 28 is a prime age.. Boxers in past and present go. Past 33. Reason why he quit was he knew deep inside he couldn't beat Barrera and his last fight in UK he got boođ he knew tge crowd didn't love him anymore. Truth. I was there and no one rooted fir him

Prince was so fun in his day...Mad respect from the USA....

Dude put up great fights for sure

great interview except the Barrera excuses. Manny said on HBO that Prince flat out didn't take the fight seriously,,,No broken hands, no taking fights on short notice, it was just plain old OVER CONFIDENCE.

Haseem is right, he is not arrogant but rather narcissistic. The truth is: Barrera was a better fighter than him, and humiliated him, which Hamed never accepted so he quit the sport. Contrarily to him, Muhammad Ali never found any excuses.

15:20 FACTS! what a legend! it created so much interest! I remember as a kid witnessing PRINCE fight! and when he retired I was sad... but then PACQUIAO CAME ALONG! what a legend! but Prince literally amazing and the confidence was insane

One of the top 5 ever. Complete fighter with incredible power for his weight. And looking what is box now i am affraid he will stay at top 5 for long, if not forever. Box lost its soul, like football and almost every other sport. They were making a tons of money too back then, but still they had something that this steroid filled robots today doesnt have. Salute to you prince!!

Legendary boxer , without doubt the most entertaining fighter of the times. Remember being really young and just wanting to watch him fight even when I didn't understand boxing .. Truly gifted , shame he didn't live up to what was a God given talent

Controversial style, pretty much of a arrogant charlatan. Wen this guy was being tested with the big guys he got his head smash's in. National he was pretty good, international a joke!

I love this guy. You know why? He is a very nice person. But I just love the way he knocked people out. I love his style. It’s so boosting watching him in action. And I love this interview because without it we wouldn’t appreciate what he is. He’s a man with character which stems from his belief in God. Very nice what he said about his father. He’s sensible. Not hyped up. And he’s very intelligent. He expresses this in his conversation by his ability to articulate intelligently. Down to earth. He was the best. Without a doubt the best. His tremendous ability gave him his great self belief. When you can fight like him how could you doubt. His amazing success will fuel his fire for the rest of his life. I wish him well as will all who see this interview. Good interview by Gary. He didn’t interrupt too much. And was fairly relaxed. If you want to be a great interviewer you need to put a cork in it and let the other guy talk and have his say.

Naseem was on of the best, because he was so entertaining, people loved his fights. He had good power too. Miss his fights.

I have never heard such lies in all my life in the documentary just before the fight he was not overweight and did not have a plastic suit on. On a small frame like his 2st would make him look like the Michelin man. ,

I am Mexican but I always respect the Prince Naseem for being someone that respected the sport off the ring and to his opponents. After his loss to Marco Antonio Barrera I actually clapped his words; 'it was god's will' and yes, Barreras will and he congratulated him. The only reason he didn't come back the same after that fight is because HE WAS EXPOSED to real Good Orthodox boxing! In a way, boxing and showmanship will always be thankful to making boxing interesting. God bless him.

The one of the most entertaining fighters(I'd say THE MOST) of all time and his record and accomplishments speak for themselves. But, he's also one of the smartest fighters of all time because he got out young, wealthy and most of all...with his health. Had he stuck around, there was some huge fights with guys like Morales, Pacquiao and Marquez and I think all three of those guys would have given him a lot of trouble and been fights he may have lost and not only would there be the losses on the record, but how much punishment would he have taken in those fights? Instead, he got out young, was smart with his money and has been able to enjoy his life and family after retiring at 28 years old. How many people can say? Instead, in boxing what we see is guys that stick around too long and by the time they're in their 40s, their speech is slurred and the brain damage is obviously there and only gonna get worse. So yeah, well played by the Prince who knew when it was time to get out and still be a legend, but also a healthy and happy legend.

It's a shame that Nas's hand was fucked after the Marco Antonio fight, he could of had a much longer career.

Arguably my favorite boxer of all time. Not because he was the best or anything, but because the made the sport entertaining during his fights. Don't get me wrong. He was a good fighter. Very skilled and talented, especially with his movements. But his unique style made him stand out.

A supremely talented kid who let it all go to waste with a massively unprofessional attitude and an inflated ego. Look at the state of the guy now. Pretty depressing to watch given that there are guys his age and older still fighting at the very top level!

Some serious sniffing going on ...

I wanna see him try a summer salt now

as a professional fighter you have to overflow with confidence, you are getting on the ring in front of the world to fight, you can get severely hurt or die, the only way to fight hard is to be over confident, there is no other way Naseem was misunderstood, me included, he actually seems to be a very likeable person, I enjoy seeing his interviews.

Hey the guy brought excitement to boxing something it totally lacks now with nothing but a bunch of ass clowns and Ultimate Fighting is more popular than regular boxing. Thanks for the memories Naseem!

He didn't fight with anyone, they say he had championship fights, but against pure English amateurs. The first day he fought a professional like Barrera, he had nothing to do. I don't know why they say he's a legend.

Errrrrrrrr, doya know what? he talks about this n that n how he had'nt fought or trained for soooo long. Ok lest say he's tellin the truth! He goes against Barerra and loses. So if everything he says is true? then sum1 tell me this! WHY did'nt he then go on and 'demand' a RE-MATCH? Why did'nt he ask this and prepare the way he reckons he needs to in order to 'win' a fight? (Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yer catch me drift?). I think I, like many others watching this vidoe, can smell Fubar when they hear it. Fact is, he got beat by a superior fighter and to be honest? thats basically the 'only' true reason he got beat that night. He was as they say, 2nd best.....(simple as)

A true legend and amazing his knockout ratio! Could have been ranked higher if he fought Barrera again and other contemporaries like Erik Morales or Pacquaio or Mayweather. If he would have beaten one of them he would be ranked higher than them.

Naseem should come back and fight Greggs

This guy is such a huge example of wasted potential. Yes, he won many fights, and was a champion. But he never got to truly elite status, he derailed his own career, when he could have gone on to become one of the greatest ever in his division. There is a reason he got clobbered when he fought his first truly elite opposition in Barrera, and it wasn't because Hamed wasn't skilled enough. He had ALL the gifts a boxer could ever asked for: Lightning reflexes, amazing hand speed, crippling power, and a fantastic chin (he was prone to flash knockdowns from being off balance, but his chin could absorb some thunderous punches.) So he had all those great gifts, but absolutely no work ethic or motivation. He bloated up like crazy between his fights, so he was forced to shed off a ton of weight in a short time when his fights came around. His trainers could hardly get him in the gym to train, he wasn't interested in doing so, just preferring to rely on his gifts. That's ultimately what derailed him, by the time he got to Barrera, he was more unmotivated and lazy than ever, his career was on the steep decline. Ultimately he was a guy who had all the physical gifts, but never had the mentality and discipline required to become a legend. It's clear with him that his motivation for his boxing career was fame, hard work never interested Naseem Hamed. Just imagine what he could have done if he had the discipline and work ethic of a Bernard Hopkins?

He's still arrogant. It's too bad he didn't ask for a rematch against Barrera, he would have gotten knocked out the second time round. Also, while a very talented fighter, he cannot be considered one of the greatest, because after the loss he fought some hambone, then retired. A great fighter would have come back to regain his titles. Incredible power though.

Sorry Hamad, You lost the fight because you got outboxed and had a terrible game plan. The weak from losing weight excuse is 60 years old and tired. True champions don't make excuses.

I like people who talk truth , at least he had the balls to fight when he was injured,

Tat was funny out how he explained the Kevin Kelly fight I'm gonna smoke your boots

For the love of money is the root of all evil. Nas states here that John Ingle was there with him at ALL his amateur fights following him all round the country, and it was Johns father brendan that brought him to their gym and made him the boxer he was. If t was not for these ppl nobody would hv ever heard of naseem hamed who would prob be working in his dads corner shop right now. When the big money started rolling in he dropped them. frank Warren put on the right eventsin the right places that boosted Nas and gave him the exposure to the public and again as soon as the big money came he dropped him. Soon after this he lost. Very sad what money does to ppl especially lots of it. At the start of this interview it came across as though he has humbled himself a little, especially being as he murdered some1 and disabled other family members driving 100mph, but then that arrogance shnes through.

He can fight as a heavy weight now..lol.
