NAZ HONOUR: Star Reader jury's verdict.

Should disgraced former world champion Naseem Hamed be admitted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame?

"No, because he should be an example of to our youngsters and not be given recognition after what he did.

"Naz acted like he was an exception to the rule and, when this accident happened, I was not surprised.

"He was a brilliant boxer but unfortunately his arrogance and cockiness have come back to haunt him."

Kevan Smith, aged 50, Manor.

"Naseem Hamed has spent time in jail for his crime - it seems odd to deny his sporting achievements because of a serious lapse outside it.

"However, sport is not just about achievements in the ring or on the field, it's about character.

"True sporting legends combine talent, passion and commitment with character and a sense of fair play - not something Naseem Hamed showed much of in the wake of the horrific accident he caused."

Robert McIlveen, aged 26, Crookes.

"Well, he was a very bad boy over the driving."

Richard Roper, aged 58, Gleadless.

"Absolutely not! No, no, no. He has shown no remorse. He's no role model to anyone - particularly young people."

Helen M. Dutton, aged 59, Lower Bradway.

"My husband and I don't think Naseem Hamed should be entered into the hall of fame."

Jane Coulston, aged 47, Crookes.

"I personally think no he should not be admitted to the Hall of Fame. He relinquished any chance that he had by being his normal arrogant self and thinking that he was above the law.

"The sooner people like him, irrespective of colour or creed, realise that they have to obey the laws of the land, the better it will be for everybody else."

Chris Lingard, aged 58, Hillsborough.
