Bob Foster vs Dwight Qawi

[sonnyboyx2]

Here is another classic of his

[mickey malone]

Mickey.. Saad Muhammad lost 12 of his next 19 fights mostly against mediocre journeymen and was never the fighter he had been previous to his 2 defeats by Qawi... Saad Muhammad was one of the ATG warrior's of this sport with his "come from behind" victories Legendary when in his prime years.. Saad Muhammad's style of fighting meant that his career would be shorter rather than long, his wars with Marvin Johnson, Yaquie Lopez, John Conteh, Eddie Gregory, Marvin Camel & Bull`Martin was what made the 175lb division the most exciting weight-class in the sport in the late 70s early 80s with many of his fights being voted Fight of the Year, Round of the Year & Comeback of the Year and Saad Muhammad himself being voted as one of the Top 10 Greatest Light-Heavyweights of all time...When the phrase "Recuperative-Powers" is mentioned in Boxing then Mathew Saad Muhammad should be known as the guy who invented it.. what a fighter/warrior he was.. watch the 8th round here.

Great vids Sonny, brought back some forgotten memories..
I accept that Saad had a lot of wars in what was then a very strong division, and yes the fights with Qawi do serve as a hinge pin to his losing streak, but would the tables have been turned had they met 2 years earlier, and do you think Dwight was at his peak when they fought?

i have noticed for a few months now how you constantly try to "Trip-me-up" but have never been successful with your lack of success being down to your lack of knowledge of boxing history, also the remarks you make against me are meaningless and do nothing other than make my standing even greater while at the same time exposing anything you say as `Total buffoonery".Dwight Muhammad Qawi was a far greater fighter when campaigning as a 175lb fighter under the name of Dwight Braxton. He beat all the top contenders in the 175lb division including, Bull`Martin, Johnny Davis (twice), Mike Rossman, James Scott, Eddie Davis & Saad Muhammad (twice)... Braxton moved up to Cruiserweight and won the WBA title from Piet Crous in South Africa which was a very good performance yet it was plain to see that Braxton now Qawi was on the slide and had "Lost his Legs" he lost his title to a young Holyfield 12 months later in an excellent 15rd championship fight but that was his last and final great performance. He lost every time he fought an opponent rated above Class C from then onwards unto he retired with his last 12 fights him being nothing more than a journeyman.

"Margarito said Pacquiao was the hardest puncher he ever faced"


"Lennox Lewis Lewis would have been stripped if he didn't fight Vitali as his replacement opponent"



"Joe Bugner was 6-5 230 when he fought Henry Cooper"



"Those are just three examples of your many lies. When you find anything that proves these statements as true, come back abnd talk about your " "Great Standing"

you are prone to exaggeration my friend and as always you add things on to dramatize the point... show me where i said Joe Bugner was that height and weight "WHEN HE FOUGHT HENRY COOPER"... the fact is that Bugner was 6ft 5ins and his weight went from 220 up to 275lbs so 230 would be a correct assessment..

Are you claiming Margarito never said Pacquiao was the hardest puncher he has ever fought?

Are you claiming Lewis would not be stripped of the WBC title if he had not fought Vitali as his replacement opponent?

From now on on this forum i am going to check your comments on a daily basis so as to trip you up just like what you do on a daily basis to my comments.. with the difference being that i never fall, but you will fall with an almighty bump as your knowledge of boxing history is zero

Great vids Sonny, brought back some forgotten memories..

Hey, Sonny, I was hoping you could improve my knowledge on this but you're too busy squabling with Joseph in an argument where your both right and wrong..
Bugner dropped a lot of weight when he fought Cooper and was very lean at around 212 but yes, Lewis was to be stripped of the title if he didn't fight Vitally. He had to defend inside a year and when Kirk Johnson pulled out it delayed matters. The Klitschko fight was then hastily put together thus to prevent Lewis from exceeding his deadline & being stripped.. As for what Margarito said, that's the one i'm not sure about, but it wouldn't suprise me.

Had Braxton vs Saad Muhammad been fought 2yrs earlier it would have been a far better fight and a war of attrition, Saad Muhammad had great difficulty making the weight when they did fight yet i feel the result may well have been the same

So after the Qawi fight's why didn't he move up to cruiserweight? Surely that should have been the obvious decision to make, but instead he carried on struggling at around 175 for another 10 years or so.
There's definitely something very odd about his sudden decline and i can't help thinking it may have been avoidable.

Saad Muhammad was not really big enough to campaign at 190lbs

That's exactly what I'm claiming. Margarito never said that. When did he say that and where? Lewis would not have been stripped if he did not replace Kirk Johnson with Vitali Klitschko. That's a lie. Post it and prove it. You did use 6-5 230 as an example for Henry Cooper vs David Haye for your agenda. It was a lie. You claimed Harry Wills was not qualified for a title shot against Jack Dempsey. Another lie. You also claimed that referees never tell fighters to walk towards them after knockdowns. I have a long list of your lies. Keep talking and I will continue to list them. I will ask you again...find anything that supports or backs those statements up. Until then you are a liar.

I can't respect that as a poster. You can question my "boxing knowledge" as much as you want. But you will never find any post where I lied or revised boxing history which seems to be your agenda.

Also MSM took too many flush punches to compete in a higher weight class.
