Naseem Hamed

[Throwing doubles]

Can somebody give me an update of his situation? Does he give interviews?

[NOrth]

Very rarely. Alleged he was coming back, but doesnt look like it. Tends to keep his head down following his twatish behaviour. To be honest Im happy to see him out of the limelight and away from boxing now. He can fade as a distant memory as far as im concerned. Its a shame he'll be remembered for being a heartless coward as much as for provising great ngihts of entertainment.

[Charles187]

Ive no problem with Naz - would actually like to see him back on tv maybe as a guest on setanta or something. Dont see it happening though.

[Throwing doubles]

What's he up to? Is he getting bigger?
Was he ever jailed or what for that traffic fck up?

[NOrth]

"traffic fuck up" - could call it that. broke every bone in the other guys body by driving on the wrong side of the road (at twice the speed limit) over a hill showing off to a rich business man. Following the crash he left the scene, and the guy to die.
remorseful... well, following release form prison after a poxy sentance for the crime commited he gets picked up by limo with all his mates. Class, pure class <ahem> .

He was up and over 12st, cant say what he weighs now, although it wont be much less as I dont think he's making any sort of comeback.
Couldnt imagine Naz as a great pundit to be honest.

[ChuckYoungblood]

When Frank ****** says you're a money grubbing bastard, I think you need to worry about what you've turned into.

:lol: It's like Valuev calling you ugly etc etc..

[Throwing doubles]

I've never liked his attitude. If that story is true, the guy should be behind bars.

[albaneze]

:lol: It's like Valuev calling you ugly etc etc..

Funny. :rofl

Important extracts include

"After last May's head-on crash, the driver of the other car, 38-year-old Anthony Burgin, spent weeks in hospital with fractures to "every major bone in his body". His wife Clare was also injured. "

"Hamed was showing what his car could do when he crossed a solid white line at a speed of at least 90mph and crashed head-on into a Volkswagen Golf that emerged from a dip in the road. "


Although it doesnt mention it in that article im 99% sure he buggered off after the crash.

[albaneze]

i Dont like the guy. But..

Hamed, 32, from Dore in Sheffield, was sentenced to 15 months after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing. He was also given a four-year driving ban.

15 months of sentence i think is too much. Its not like the other guys on the other car he crashed were dead. Well they could have been but they are not.
15 months for careless driving i think is a lot man. The guy is screwed for good. he crashed his £325,000 McLaren-Mercedes at 90 MPH, come onnn i would never belive a person here in the forum that says he never drove more than that. Fucking crazy.
Driving a car like that 90 mph is nothing mate.
Fucking hell 90 MPH you can go with a minicoper for fuck sake.

Anyways its england what else do you people expect they would screw any nonbritish as soon as they have the chance.
Khan is next, they will screw him as well for signing autopraphs which make him weaker and he cannot perform good in his matches . hahahah.

To hell with Britain and their rules.

[proby24]

Albaneze: You fucking joking me right? That arrogant prick was on the wrong side of the road approaching a blind dip, well over the speed limit, by doing so he almost killed a man. Shame Naseem's Allah couldn't have protected that poor guy in the other car.

The little sh*t should still be behind bars.

Actualy No, Ive never driven at 90mph in a built up area whilst overtaking blind... fuck, ive never lived.
What would you deem a fair sentance if someone beat you up and you sustained injuries comparable to the guy in the other cars? Would you say 15months in prison was too much?
You say Its not as if the other guys dead. Fair point. he only fractured every bone in his body, he'll be up and about and back to his old self within a week. Wont effect the guys life at all.

People with your mentality are the reason Jade Goody gets on telly.

[Charles187]

He served the sentance he was given and that should be enough. I have driven that fast, ive done really fuckin stupid things in my life, some of which im ashamed of. Difference is I got away with them and he didnt. hes also made alot of contributions to british sport, question is what will you remember Naz for? I know what I will.....

:shock:

What a statement- he only served 4 months in prison anyway. Maybe you should try and look at it from the other guys position, Imagine you was the person who had every bone in your body broken by some reckless arsehole, and then trying to rebuild your life. A lot harder than a prison sentence and a ban.

Yeh, but did you wreck someones life in the process driving like a maniac??
No??

Well if you were in the guys shoes who had every bone broke in his body, you may not think Naz paid his dues. He only served 4 months of his prison sentence. Some justice system we have.

[Outboxer]

As a person, I don't really like Hamed.

As a boxer, he was entertaining as hell. He brought the featherweight division to life.

I said it once and i say it again, i dont like Naz for what he is and also his boxing style sucks, but shit happens and it can happen to anywone.

He was driving on the wrong side of the road but with a mc mercedes with fucking extreeme power produced by the english sold for 320 000 sterling, oohh making money out of it is likable, but banging a guy who comes out of a DIP its unacceptable eee.

Bullshit English people and rules. I fucking hate the way you act man, you act like fagots and talk like bitches making retarded faces while talking, like you got somthing stucked on your throats.

As a recap shit happens and it can happen to anyone. This time was Naz next time it can be me or you, so think before drinking, buying a MC Mercedes for fucking 320 K of pounds and think much more before going out in a road from a fucking DIP.

Fuck the Brits.

Hahaha, normally europeans can speak more than 2 languages but fucking brits cant speak more than one, you know why coz they are dumb. i aint imigrant i live in my own country and screw you english hypocrits.
Always blame the others normally those who are not english natives, for doing the damage, but when you do those shits yourselves you dont really stress upon.

Do you know how you can mess with an english nerves.

Asking him where are you from? and after he replies, say never heard of it where is it located on the map. Dumb lazy bastards.

Hope he "speaks" english better than he writes the fucking thing.

As for speaking more than one language. I do speak more than one, but I think you'll find many Brits only speak English as we are an island surrounded by water. Historically we dont have a multi cultural society like many european countries who border other nations who have different languages. Granted this is now changing as means of moving between countries is becoming easier.

Where the car was made, how much it cost and the country it the crash happened has nothing to do with the fact that Naz was on the wrong side of the road and ruined someones life!

Driving on the correct side of the road is a law throughout the world not just in England.

hey stop picking on the imigrant ;)

Hey Nemesis stop picking my balls.

I am not defending Naz, but what i was saying was that shit happens to everyone , and i am sure everyone of us if we have that kind of car will do something stupid.
It all started as a speed limit thing and it degenerated to this point.
I hate it how you brits play the clean bastards, like you never exceeded a speed limit.
Anyways he should be punished for his deeds, and has been punished.

Thats it i dont need this anymore, full of shite.

Majority of fighters who are successful and representing Britain they are immigrant, Calzaghe one of them, you have many more like, khan, hamed, the only ethnic english guy is hatton. so go and take a piss you brats.

[yogster740]

The accident was negligence plain and simple, nothing indicates that Hamed
wanted to hurt the man. He should have been punished, but 15 months does seem extreme.

Dont make such a stupid throw away comment. How is calzaghe an immigrant? Hew as born in Hammersmith, London. Naz was born in Sheffield.

Also...

Lennox Lewis, Frank bruno, Henry Cooper, Johnny Nelson, Jim Watt, ken buchanen, Jimmy Wilde, Tommy farr ... okay im bored now, think you get the diea that a majority of sucesful fighters aint "immigrants" .

[PrideOfWales]

Calzaghe was born in London and one side of his family (his mother's side) are all Welsh. He is more British than anything else.

If you don't like the Brits, piss off from the "British Boxing Forum".

I'd like to add that Naseem Hamed is a person I've disliked for a very long time. When somebody is that full of themselves, they're either doing it tongue-in-cheek (Ali) or they are complete idiots who take themselves seriously (Hamed). I've driven at 90mph, I've driven at 100mph - but I've only ever done it on a 70mph motorway (where people generally travel at 80mph anyway) with cars going the same direction as me.

I only wish that what has happened changes Hamed into a decent human being and he puts something back into his community or boxing. But he'll probably get some good PR people to say he's done good when he hasn't.

[NOrth]

The legal standpoint on Negligence is amazingly complex. there would eb duty of care issues and all sorts to mull over. I wonder if his sentence would've been more extreeme had he not had top notch lawyers.

Also, the fact he left the scene speaks volumes about this man!!

[NOrth]

from BBN

On the 22nd March of this year, Hamed entered a guilty plea to the charge of dangerous driving which took place on Ringinglow Road, Sheffield, on 2nd May 2005. Having previously overtaken at least two cars, he attempted to overtake a Ford Mondeo, crossing a solid white line to do so. The white line was there to forbid overtaking as there was a hidden dip in the road near the crest of a hill. On that part of the road there is no way the driver can see if anything is coming the other way.

Unfortunately for Brian Anthony Burgin of Sheffield, he was the man coming the other way. He had planned to enjoy the Bank Holiday with his wife Clare and drive to the nearby Peak District tourist town of Castleton. He was driving his VW Golf in accordance with the law when Hamed, on the wrong side of the road, hit him head on at a speed police judged to be at least 90 mph. Such was the power and speed of Hamed's £320,000 McLaren Mercedes SLR, Burgin's car was pushed back down the road for several yards. The Mondeo was also involved in the crash.

The court heard that Hamed, after briefly apologising to the Burgins (both were unconscious and have no memory of the accident – witnesses have filled in the gaps), left the scene with his passenger and returned home. His defence barrister, Martin Sharpe, explained that as a few passers-by had come to the scene he feared a violent altercation with one of the men who had become aggressive about the nature of his driving. Mr Sharpe explained further that Hamed suspected the media were being called and, satisfied that the emergency services had been alerted, he jogged home to attend to the eye injury his passenger, business associate Asif Ayub, had suffered.

When the police came to arrest Hamed, he was about to leave his house in another vehicle. He said he was going out to buy some butterfly stitches for Mr Ayub.

Mr Burgin suffered extensive injuries that were initially life threatening. The catalogue of physical damage is a long one including broken limbs and initial swelling to the frontal lobe of the brain. Mr Burgin was in intensive care for three weeks and finally allowed home in June. He worked closely with the Community Rehabilitation Team and was not allowed to be left alone. Mr Burgin's injuries have left him permanently debilitated. He arrived in court with a recently fitted brace for his right arm. His vision has been affected and it's unlikely he'll be able to drive ever again. After several operations, including graft surgery, his left leg is 43mm shorter than his right. Mrs Burgin was also injured in the crash. Though her injuries were not as extensive, she now has a phobia of travel. Andrew Hatton, prosecuting, said the Burgins felt their lives had been “wrecked” and the court heard that their relationship was under some strain as a result of the crash.

The prosecution also revealed the nature of Hamed's trip that day which had a bearing on both the crash itself and the judge's sentence. Asif Ayub had paid Hamed a visit in his brand new Ferrari and when he got there, Hamed was tinkering with his Mercedes. The motoring enthusiasts talked for a short time about their cars and then Hamed offered to take Ayub for a drive. The prosecution suggested Hamed's intention was to impress Ayub. Hamed himself conceded that he hadn't had the car very long and wasn't used to its power.

Hamed also admitted he had been frustrated and irritated by the driver of the Mondeo. According to Hamed, the driver was constantly breaking and looking in the mirror as if to confirm for himself that it was actually Naseem Hamed behind him.

Unfortunately for Hamed, the prosecution also revealed that he had at least four previous driving convictions. In 1995 for speeding above a 50 mph limit he was disqualified from driving for three months; in 1998 he was given three points on his licence for speeding above 30 mph; another six points in 1999 for speeding over 40 mph and most recently another three points for speeding over 30 mph in 2004.

Hamed's defence strategy was to frankly admit culpability and offer a heartfelt apology to the victims of his recklessness. Mr Sharpe suggested several alternatives to a custodial sentence: a lengthy unpaid work order; a lengthy curfew; the ability to give the Burgins considerable compensation; and a lengthy driving ban.

42 letters of positive character reference were submitted, including one from Dr Adrian Whiteson of the British Boxing Board of Control which said Hamed was “a very accomplished boxer who reached the pinnacle of his career…I do hope you deal with this case sympathetically”.

A character witness was called. Sterling Brown spoke emotionally and warmly of how Hamed had befriended his late son who had suffered from leukaemia.

The judge, Recorder of Sheffield Alan Goldsack, QC, felt a custodial sentence was inevitable and seemed to argue that he would have given Hamed more than 15 months if he was allowed to do so.

Within his judgement, Mr Goldsack said: “Speeding is clearly not something you got out of your system as a young man: it was a major cause of this incident. Your fame does not mean you fall to be dealt with in any different way (more or less harshly) than any other person: you, like everyone else, have an obligation to obey the law when behind the wheel of a motor car.

“You could easily have killed Mr Burgin. If you had done so, the maximum sentence available would have been 14 years imprisonment, having been increased regularly by Parliament. There was a proposal to increase the maximum sentence for dangerous driving generally but that did not survive the legislative process. Many probably regret that and Judges, at this and no doubt other courts, have regularly observed that the available maximum where death does not result is insufficient to do justice in many cases where the driving was in a particularly aggravated form and/or serious injury was caused to one or more victims. Yours, in my judgement, is such a case.

“The maximum sentence available here is only two years' imprisonment. You pleaded guilty at an early, though not the earliest opportunity. Under guidelines laid down by the Sentencing Guidelines Council I must give you appropriate credit for that, notwithstanding the strength of the evidence against you. And serious though your case is there are other, more serious cases, which regularly come before the courts…

“There will be a prison sentence of 15 months: I deliberately put it that way, rather than saying you will go to prison for 15 months because you will not. Parliament has recently enacted that all persons sentenced to determinate sentences are to be released after serving half the sentence and many are released earlier, but that is an executive decision beyond the power of the courts. You will also be disqualified from driving for a period of four years and thereafter until you pass an extended test.”

[Nemesis]

The legal standpoint on Negligence is amazingly complex. there would eb duty of care issues and all sorts to mull over. I wonder if his sentence would've been more extreeme had he not had top notch lawyers.

Also, the fact he left the scene speaks volumes about this man!!

I was studying English law last year (as part of my part time QS degree), and your right, the sentence could (read > should) have been a lot worse.

[chambers80]

"Shit" does happen to everyone but when you drive on the wrong side of the road that the "Shit" will happen a hell of a lot sooner and that "Shit" will be brought onto other people too. We all make mistakes but there are ways to minimize the chances.

It wasn't an accident caused by simply exceeding the speed limit it was Naz being the arrogant, self centred prick that he turned into taking no regard for the people around him.

[The taff]

Fuck all you dumb asses who lie to yourselves of saying that i will obey the rules and i will never do something against the rules.

I said it once and i say it again, i dont like Naz for what he is and also his boxing style sucks, but shit happens and it can happen to anywone.

Do you live in Britain?? If you don't like it, why don't you fuck off then !!

[mmickyward]

i really enjoyed watching naz fight but when i think of him now i just remember him getting schooled by barrera and how he disapeared up his own arse.Shame

[grayggr]

i Dont like the guy. But..

Hamed, 32, from Dore in Sheffield, was sentenced to 15 months after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing. He was also given a four-year driving ban.

15 months of sentence i think is too much. Its not like the other guys on the other car he crashed were dead. Well they could have been but they are not.
15 months for careless driving i think is a lot man. The guy is screwed for good. he crashed his £325,000 McLaren-Mercedes at 90 MPH, come onnn i would never belive a person here in the forum that says he never drove more than that. Fucking crazy.
Driving a car like that 90 mph is nothing mate.
Fucking hell 90 MPH you can go with a minicoper for fuck sake.

Anyways its england what else do you people expect they would screw any nonbritish as soon as they have the chance.
Khan is next, they will screw him as well for signing autopraphs which make him weaker and he cannot perform good in his matches . hahahah.

To hell with Britain and their rules.

You should be the most domb israeli i have ever seen then.

You know why? Because if you red just a bit of a jew history book than you would know that Albania is the only country in Europe that did not prosecute the jews, and the most interesting fact was that the number of jew after the war was far more bigger than before in Albania, this little relatively poor country.
I aint insulting Britain i was puting into the big picture their double standards on dealing with the foreigners.

You might not agree a lot at this topic taking into consideration Naz ethnicity troubles you a little.

regarding the sir who was saying that english was the business language, i fully agree with you and i was saying that the english or better say majority of them cannot speak more than one language.

Anyways not too much time to lose on these nonsens and useless issues.

[Holmes' Jab]

Hamed- Good fighter, utter cunt. :yep

[grayggr]

The accident was negligence plain and simple, nothing indicates that Hamed
wanted to hurt the man. He should have been punished, but 15 months does seem extreme.

The fact isn't intent it's recklessness. Naz should have realised that by travelling at such a speed, on the wrong side of the road, that his actions could have caused serios injury to either himself, pedestrians or other road users.

A reasonable person would think, I'm driving at excessive speed in a high performance motor vehicle, in a lane of oncoming traffic. I'm coming up to a hill and cannot see over it, there is a strong liklihood a car will be coming my way soon.......... thus I will really cause damage if I crash into that car.

Hence it does not matter if Naz did not intend to cause injury he was reckless as to whether injury would or would not be caused.

Although not as serious as intent, if my life has been ruined due to serious/horrendous injuries suffered at the hands of a reckless, irresponsible moron I would be disappointed to see him get anything less than 2 years.

[sandwichsurgeon]

Even a speed demon wouldn't go that fast with a blind dip ahead on the wrong side of the road, on an empty country lane with high visibility or on a flat motorway loads of people go that fast but if your going to do something like that you have to pay attention to your surroundings. Naz failed to do this with tragic consequences and should have been made to pay a much higher price for his recklessness, what he did was just plain stupid and he is a cunt for doing so.

Fuck piss poor Albania, don't cry because no-one cares about your language or geographical position.

[Bluenose]

Hamed- Good fighter, utter cunt. :yep
Never have truer words been spoken. I was recently watching a programme on ESPN Classics focusing on Nas and his bout with Barrera amd his general behaviour just disgusted me. He was flashy and entertaining in his day but never have I detested a fighter as much in my life. Plus I always got the impression he boxed more for Islam and the general Muslim population rather than the Brits.

Turned into a bit of a waster recently and he really should get his act together.

[kerrminator]

Apparently the guy in the other car is facing charges now for trying to ram Naz's motor off the road whilst his wife and kids were in it.

That is intent to harm and could land him in very hot water.

Shit! Got a link?

No leg pulling, the guy has been charged over an incident involving Hameds wife.

last i seen of him he looked like a fuckin cruiserweight

Did anybody catch the boxing event sometime last year (unsure of who was fighting) where a fat Naz was sitting next to Barrera talking about signing a fight deal & fighting Marco sometime in the next year or so? One look at Barrera's face & you knew he thought it was all a big joke. Cant see him making a comeback whatsoever.

I think that was nearly 2 years ago in Sheffield at the Hatton-Maussa fight. Naz won't come back, but any rematch would be easy money for Barrera. Naz's not coming back - apart from the poor showing against Calvo - does harm his legacy IMO.

My Uncle met Naz when he worked for Raido Sheffield. Said he was an arse to everyone around him.

Glad to see a fellow Lincoln Boy on the site Charles. Seems like we are down from the dizzying expectations of last year. I live in LA now but try to keep up with the scores and pick up a game at the Bank whenever I get home.
