They should have named him Mathew "Drama" Muhammad
Seems like most if his fights were full of excitement & suspense win or lose...Dude had much heart and was always in the fight no matter what...
Muhammad had skills but they were overshadowed by the nature of his fights...Often times I was of the belief that his heart & will got in the way of better judgement...He would brawl instead of box, exchange when he should have been moving ect ect...
As a kid l recall feeling sorry for him when he faced Braxton....Epic beatdown.... -
I loved watching Saad Muhammad fight, what heart and power. The Matthew Saad Muhammad from his early title defenses would be dangerous in any era.Comment

His losses to Braxton was when Saad Muhammad was on the downside of his career. He was also struggling to make the weight limit.Originally posted by f15bone View PostComment

I agree Bear, Saad was one hell of a fighter from 1976-82 His uppercut that he KOd Lottie Mwale was incredible. Muhammad Ali was sitting ringside and said, "it was the hardest punch he ever seen in his life"..Originally posted by TBear View PostComment

Awesome fighter to watch
Very good fighter.Comment

Agree, a man that always entertained his audience.
But in the end, he had to pay a high price because of his style, taking too much punishment while sealing victories.
And in his later years, he condemned boxing as a sport.
The downside of boxing - when a warrior's glory days are over, few or none bother about his postcareer life. Promoters, trainers and we spectators move our focus to new, young and still undamaged entertainers.

Just before my time, but he is one of my favorites to watch.. Not an ATG but a really really good fighter, and fought in the deepest era of light heavys imoComment
