YOU, THE JURY SPECIAL: Should Naseem Hamed be inducted into boxing's Hall of Fame?

DISGRACED former world champion Naseem Hamed looks likely to be granted a place in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Judges have until the end of October to decide whether to induct the cocky but brilliant Sheffield featherweight, who was involved in a high-speed city car crash which led to him being jailed.

The IBHoF judges are considering his career in the ring - 36 wins one loss, 31 knock-outs from 1992 to 2002 - rather than the turbulent personal times.which included a jail sentence for dangerous driving and the revocation of his MBE.
