Saad rest in peace, I was 17 when I first started watching him fight. He became my hero in boxing. Being from Philly, myself made it even more special. Miss you Saad Muhammad world Champion !
One of the most exciting fighters of his era, lots of action and full of determination. His fights were epic at the least, never a dull moment, there will never be another Saad Muhammad. Rest in Power champ 🥊💯
It's tragic. He began life alone and abandoned, and died alone and abandoned. At least in between he was able to become a world champion, something most of us will never get to experience.
What a phenomenal warrior. Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Marvin Johnson, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Yaqui Lopez, Victor Galindez, Rossman, Scott, Martin, Conteh and of course, the great Michael Spinks...these men made this a glorious time for the light-heavies. Thank you so much Mr. Fennell for taking the time to recognize this great champion. RIP, Saad...you are missed but still loved.
Methew Saad muhammad my brother. I'm so proud of you. Your a great man. Don't worry about you give to poor peoples. That's one you give you to a poor peoples is remain in your account. Because Allah (God) will reward you in the day of judgement. Allah bless you my brother and give you more and give you Parades.
A true Boxing Warrior my first time watching him on TV when he fought Marvin Johnson the second fight on a Sunday Afternoon on abc every since he was a fixture on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in the 80's Rest in Boxing Heaven Matthew Saad Muhammad 🥊🥊🥊🥊
Miracle Matt. His attitude is just incredible. Dude is talking about him being abandoned and Matt says there were plently of good times too. This guy was never anybody's victim. Compare him with today's homeless who think its their god given right to slam dope on the sidewalk because they had a tough time growing up.
Saw Saad on North Broad St. while I was a graduate student at Temple in 1983. Was a huge fan, did a brief double take, then after he walked past me, I saw his name on the back of his workout outfit and I knew my eyes were not deceiving me. I hope he is off the canvas for good now, he still has the personal charm he had in his prime
Awesome fighter👌with a big hart,was a davestating puncher😲,and man,he had a great chin too(my goodness😳)........was a real gentleman, in and outside the ring👍(did manny things for others,and some take advantage of it😡😢(and is now doing good things with homeless people,even having a hard time,himself👏),and is one of the greatest light heavyweights of all times,so not,the greatest(surrely for me🤙)........you'll be missed champ😔😥,i hope you have a good life there above,and more luck than you had here🤞........RIP🙏 CHAMP🥊,YOU'LL BE REMEMBERED (SURRELY BY ME)👊💪
Boxing eats people up and spits them out; its not the punches, its the corruption. Too many elite level fighters have ended up with nothing but slurred speech. As much as I dislike Dana White's attitude, he's probably what boxing needs; a czar.
The warriors code X Life is movie material like so many fighters Avery sad ending Even though I m not Mayweather fan I'm really glad that he won't end up broke like so many others
That is some fucked up shit..."go get rid of him" and he was dump on "Franklin Roosevelt Prkwy" and he was named after the street they found him on, like you would do a stray dog that was found.
Well I mean....What else we're they to do, what ELSE could they have named him ??? They WEREN'T gonna give him THEIR last name !!! I mean , for real Yo, give the ol broads Some credit !!!! Shit, they Coulda just said fuck em !! and left his ass on Franklin Ave...The brother was given a half decent chance at life BECAUSE of those two women, and the rest is history...
Theres another video on here where Saad threw out the first pitch at a Phillies game just a year before his death. He looked good. ALS strikes and debilitates very quickly.
Yeah. Those allah scum bag fuckers took all his money ALL his money. allah is a racist, pedophile, piece of shit, period. I squeeze muslims out of my allah every morning
Later in life he devoted himself to caring for others. What a great man.
He rose from the ashes to become a great fighter, what resilience and perseverance. More power to you. I know you will be missed.
Named a son after this great man. Matthew❤
What a fighter!
He has a great legacy, and there is no dollar amount for that.
Definitely one of the top Light Heavyweights ever.
Saad rest in peace, I was 17 when I first started watching him fight. He became my hero in boxing. Being from Philly, myself made it even more special. Miss you Saad Muhammad world Champion !

No fucking world champ should ever be homeless, R.I.P.
May he rest in peace.
A true Boxing Warrior my first time watching him on TV when he fought Marvin Johnson the second fight on a Sunday Afternoon on abc every since he was a fixture on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in the 80's Rest in Boxing Heaven Matthew Saad Muhammad 🥊🥊🥊🥊
Crazy I’m subscribed to his channel, never knew he was a reporter!!!!!!
He was an Emmy award journalist in Philadelphia.
@@argerinejordan4703 that interesting, because his family is from South Carolina from the COUNTRY. That’s really cool!
@@swaggydesh4997 It is. He went back when he retired.
Miracle Matt. His attitude is just incredible. Dude is talking about him being abandoned and Matt says there were plently of good times too. This guy was never anybody's victim. Compare him with today's homeless who think its their god given right to slam dope on the sidewalk because they had a tough time growing up.
Love this man!
Country style !!!
Great champ, inspiration, wishing him everything good!
He should be in the hall of fame.
He is 😑
Toughest fighter I ever saw. May he rest in peace.

inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun, Brother Saad Muhammad
Best friend TV boxing ever had.
Great interview
the greatest action fighter of the late '70s and early '80s....
Tough, dignified man
Miss you buddy. Rest easy
Unfortunate for a man of such great legacy. Rip Saad Muhammad!
A shame cruiserweight was not around. Saad Muhammad must have death camped dieted to 175. A lovely man by all accounts. Very generous.
I saw Matthew out on his feet in several of his fights where he came back to win by KO...always an exciting fight...
One of the easiest to root for and most inspiring boxers EVER! (more than the fictional Rocky Balboa) 🤩
Life is beautiful but also unbelievable sadness how sad A story Even though I'm not A Mayweather fan I'm glad he won't have to end up broke
13th and South...Saigon. We will miss you Ice.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANY BOXER WHO HAS MONEY WOULD NOT HELP THIS GREAT BOXER OUT!
Great fighter in all the description!
My favorite fighter ever.his fight with murry Sutherland we epic

R.I.P Muhammad... and go watch Art Fennell "Country Style "
He was a bad man 💪
Wow he started off homeless and ended up homeless. In between he was world champion for 4 years.
Rest in peace Champ.
I didn’t know you were an actual jounalist
his childhood was a tougher test than the legendary 8th round against Yaqui Lopez
Got tired of the beatings. Unbelievable.
That is some fucked up shit..."go get rid of him" and he was dump on "Franklin Roosevelt Prkwy" and he was named after the street they found him on, like you would do a stray dog that was found.

I wonder if he ever reunited with his brother. I didn't watch the whole thing.
At this point, Saad Muhammad's speech was only slightly impaired, and his personality intact, but his memory was badly damaged.
I love Matthew Saad, RIP my kind friend
Theres another video on here where Saad threw out the first pitch at a Phillies game just a year before his death. He looked good. ALS strikes and debilitates very quickly.
That’s one hard life.
Now he is officiating the battle between gissum and the dragon
It looks as if he has his health..good to see.
south phily produced some great fighters who made it , and didnt make it.............
Rip
Poor guy, he gave his entire life to boxing and it spit on him, hope something good happens to him soon.
Mr. President...
Directactly:BARACK OBOMA!
The nuns took him in and he goes on to convert to Islam 😇Allah is the greatest
Yeah. Those allah scum bag fuckers took all his money ALL his money. allah is a racist, pedophile, piece of shit, period. I squeeze muslims out of my allah every morning
Life is short and very unfair!!!!
Arturo Gatti didn’t have shit on this man.
Saad died broke, homeless and brain damaged.....sad.
Fast wimins, Slow horses
Wtf country style Art fennel!!!
That's him. He was an Emmy award journalist in Philly back in the day.
yeah unlike bowe he cant talk
he has such a sad backstory
You were saved by catholic nuns and then thanked them by becoming a muslim. Yeah, why not.
Me too!
