      I'll give this a try.

      "I was one of the most exciting fighters of my generation, and was once called "Sad" by the future world champion in my division." Who am I?

          Matthew Saad Muhammad? (based purely on a guess that Saad was mispronounced as sad?)

            Yup, chosen "one" chosen "juan." Little play on pronunciations.

              Correct.

              Michael Spinks called him 'sad' on purpose after Muhammad challenged him to a fight on live TV, after Spinks had beaten Johnson.

              It's pretty funny. It's on youtube.

                A bigger hint on mine is that it was nearly three years between shows.

                  "In a rematch I was stopped brutally in 3 rounds by a fighter who lost a close but clear decision to Antonio Tarver." Who am I?

                    I'm just guessing now, Buddy McGirt?

                      Correct.

                      McGirt lost to Pernell Whitaker in the last title fight at the Garden in February, 1993.

                      MSG gave boxing the finger until December 1995, with its first title fight being the co-feature bout, when Tracy Patterson lost his title to Arturo Gatti, later trained by McGirt.
