Matthew Saad Muhammad

To even compare Saad to that club fighter Gatti is an insult. Muhammed was the man at 175 while Gatti never even sniffed being the man in any division he was at. The single best action fighter who ever lived plain and simple. great post jose! :D

gr8 warrior average boxer, out hearted john conteh to win the LH belt. :cool: both of em like the party life.

if he is dead i'll kill him! of course i knew all that about matty :rolleyes: Matt is not dead. I love Saad, one of my all-time faves...BUT, he isn't the best light heavyweight ever. Charles, Foster, Moore, Spinks.....they were the best. Saad was the most exciting lt. heavy ever....& my choice as the most exciting fighter ever, lb4lb. Most of those losses came after he was shot....& with his style, he was kinda shot even while holding the belt. There are only so many grueling fights one can be in... His title-winnig fight against Marvin Johnson, & his title defense against Yaqui Lopez are two of the memorable fights in history. But, did you all know these fights were rematches ? Rematches to fights that were every bit as, if not more, brutal than their sequels.

does anyone know anything about matt right now? he wasn't at induction weekend (he always is) and some asshole told me he was dead :( oh and matt was the greatest light heavyweight of all time!

Underrated? I dunno. Not really He was a world champion and made a number of defenses. And while he is a HOFer. It's not so much based on his record. But more on the highlights he provided. Much like Gatti. He was allot of fun to watch. Plenty of action & he took allot of punishment and pulled out victories.

Saad Muhammad was a LHW champ and was probably the greatest prize fighter that division has ever seen. He was never really in a bad fight and made incredible comebacks when you thought he was out of the fight. His fights with Yaqui Lopez, Dwight Qawi, and Marvin Johnson were all great fights. He may be the most exciting fighter that boxing has ever seen because he fought on a world class level.

He was essentially a light heavy weight version of Arturo Gatti. He got the nickname Miricle Matthew because of all the great combacks he made. Check out his fights against Yaqui Lopez & Marvin Johnson. That's cool... He sounds very underrated to me... Is that the case?
