Haven't seen him in years or heard much about him in his retirement. He died far too young at 59.
What an absolute warrior he was in the ring. Equal to Gatti in my opinion, even Chico Corrales I'd dare say.
He gave boxing fans many thrills.
R.I.P. to a hell of a man.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
RIP to the champ
R.I.P. He was a phenomenal fighter and in my opinion, may have been more exciting n dramatic than Gatti n Chico. All three were great warriors n left too early....
Tough as nails and a heart like a lion. R.I.P. champ.
I always get him confused with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad.
Boxing is a cruel sport man. Dude was in the HOF and living on the streets. What other sports can you think of where they actually have HOF athletes living in homeless shelters? Poor guy.
RIP champ
Cold Heart and a Weak Mind
Rip
Matt Franklin was Mr excitement.
Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .
Great fighter, crying shame to end up on the streets and dead at 59. RIP Champ.
It seems that he suffered from Lou Gehrigs disease and that claimed him in the end. From being abandoned at age 5 to getting back off the canvas to win fights on numerous occasions and then ending up on the streets and dealing with such a devastating disease, It seem life was one big long drawn out fight for the man. He was also originally up for the part of Clubber Lang in Rocky, good article here
SAD FINAL CHAPTER FOR A GREAT ACTION HERO
Nice to remember him at his blistering best
Matthew Saad Muhammad was before my time but wow what an exciting fighter.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Rest In Peace Matthew Saad Muhammad. Boxing's Ultimate Gladiator May the Lord grant him perpetual comfort. He was a kind and decent soul.

Really sad news.
He was my favourite fighter & the reason why I got into boxing heavily.
RIP champ.
