Matthew Saad Mohammed passed away in the last couple of days. By all accounts he was a top class boxer. A quick look at his youtube highlight reel certainly demonstrates his exciting style. I wonder how todays light heavyweights would fare against this man i.e. Stevenson et al…

One of my favourtite fighters of all-time.
He was the Arturo Gatti of the late 70's early 80's.

Some of his wars are just incredible action fights, I strongly advise anyone interested in boxing to watch his fights against Marvin Johnson (both), Richie Kates and Yaqui Lopez (both, esp. the second).

He fell on hard times despite earning millions.

RIP.
