>> Barrera turns down fight with Hamed

Saw the same thing happen to Herol Graham back in the eighties. Graham was a strong middleweight contender from the same stable, probably unknown here in the US, who everyone ducked, (most notably Alan Minter, before he lost his middleweight title to Marvin Hagler) because of his unorthodox style.

Naseem Hamed has a much higher profile due to his ring persona. Hopefully, he will get the fights he deserves.
