    "The fight is cancelled!!!"

    "The fight is cancelled!!!"

    This was the shocking headline decades ago when Eddie Mustafa Muhammad couldn't make weight against Michael Spinks for the light-heavyweight title.

    Fortunately, Eddie Mustafa made weight 13 hours later only to lose his title to Spinks.

    Has there ever been a time when a fight was cancelled within 3 weeks of a fight? The Spinks/Mustafa fiasco happened within 13 hours of the fight.

    What are the possibilities that a major fight could be cancelled in the future?

        No chance at all, there is literally 0% of any fight getting cancelled, ever again, we've come a long way since copper communications.

        What was the name of that dude who would put weird a*s sentences together, he would post in the lounge. Pretty good stuff.

            I remember that day Eddie couldn't make weight for the Spinks fight and he stepped off the scale and said "This is bullsht!" and took off.

                history trip:
                Eddie Mustafa Muhammad rose to heavyweight to fight Reynaldo Snipes and returned to light heavyweight to defend against Spinks.

                Spinks won handedly over Eddie and later a rematch was signed. This time the fight was cancelled as Eddie could not make weight and the rematch never took place.

                At the press conference for the rematch, Dwight Muhammad Qawi nearly got into a fight with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. If memory serves me right, Qawi was promoted by Butch Lewis along with Michael Spinks.
