Wow what a story. Orphaned at 6 and then To live the last years of your life homeless because you gave all of your money away to the less fortunate... glad you made a video on him. His legacy will live on because of film like this.

This man never had anything most people take for granted. Given nothing except the will to fight, Matthew Saad Mohammed is a man who is rare in this world.

This story brought a grown man to tears.

Thank you for giving Mathew Saad Muhammad some credit, boxing community seems to keep forgetting great fighters!!❤️

Mathew Saad was never forgotten by those who saw him fight.

Matthews is one of those rare fighters that belong in the group of fighters like A. GATTI, HAGLER, JACK DEMPSEY, ECT. They are a rare breed of fighter that were willing to die in that ring

This Dude got the perfect narrator voice for these fights

I hope he found his peace. What a great person.

Today we have movie actors not boxers. RIP LEGEND

Imagine in this era, a newly crowned Champion calling out the hardest opponent he had ever fought, who had knocked him out in a war, as his first defense. Then he in turn fighting the most dangerous fighter in the division. Warriors.

Rest In Peace Champ you did not die in vain!!! Your legacy lives on !!!

How has his life not been made into a movie yet is beyond me

This channel is boxing history class because I learn a new fighter every video. Thank you 🥊🥊

When God makes people like him, he's showing off

The ending had me in tears 😭😭😭 what a story! What a voice! What a narrator!🥰

I remember him as a very nice and tough guy. I had no idea his life as a child was so bad. A great man who knew what it was like to be neglected. A very well done piece.

Wow! This man was amazing, and I never heard of him, he looks like a tough Champion. I respect the sport so much and admire these Men, they were Gladiators, no ducking, no picking and choosing. These were men who deserve to be honored in boxing history.

God does not make them like this anymore, big hands, big heart and an iron chin. RIP champ.

14:58 The best uppercut knockout I've ever seen! The impact. the mouthpiece flying out, the way the guy fell! Perfect knockout! That man Saad fought some absolute WARS!

His fight against Yacqui Lopez is one of my top five all time boxing matches of any weight class.

Really Rythm Boxing?! REALLY?! I came here to watch some boxing highlights and now I'm sobbing uncontrollably! Anyways, great video

What a champion and shame is no body knows about him today

What a disgrace that a man who gave us so many great fights dies without a roof over his head ....an unfitting end for such a warrior

Growing up this was one of my all time favorite fighters right up there with Muhammad Ali, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes. Loved Saad Muhammad♥

I can't believe I have never heard of this guy 🙆🏾‍♂️

Boxers have the most amazing life stories of all athletes

I remember him hanging around the Atlantic City PAL still looking for one last big fight in the early 90s. He was a nice guy. Very approachable. Very helpful to young boxers.

This fighter is truly blessed . Even when raised by GOD to upper heights still remembered those in lower heights and not only that , he gave them little by little all he had . Truly blessed .

I personally knew Mathew! I trained at his gym. 63rd Market St. Jimmy Beachum & Marty Feldman. I was an amateur at the time. I was trained by Sam Solomon. Sam Solomon was Mathews trainer also at the time. I used to spar Mathew from time to time. I will never forget that experience in my life. R.I.P Matthew and Sam Solomon..

Matthew Saad Muhammad left it all in the ring every time he fought. His first fight with Dwight Muhammad Qawi was a classic. A true warrior.

That was deep. @Rhythm Boxing, you've out done yourself with this one. BK

Listen... I have loved "miracle Matthew" for such a long time. A true fighter in the ring and out of it. There will never be another like him I truly cannot say enough about this man... his story has always captured my imagination and inspired me. RIP beloved champ. U deserved better than how u came in and left this God forsaken world

I watched Matt Franklin back in the 70’s. Now I know why Franklin was such an incredible fighter. He had a quality that I’ve never seen before or since

He was truly a blessing and nobody appreciated him. He is officially my smiling hero. R.I.H

I grew up watching Matthew, he is and will always be my favorite light heavyweight champion. RIP

If ever you need proof Angels exist, watch this video! Matthews story choked me up, big time!

Man it’s great to see Muhammad and Marvin again. Those were the days of some good fighters that some of us might have forgotten about if it weren’t for Rhythm Boxing. Now who remembers hearing Howard Cossell and Chris Schenkel ringside. That’s what I mean… Thanks 💯 👊🏽 🥊 👊🏽

He was also a handsome young man could have easily been a top model.

What a boxer what a man.. a real legend..rest in peace Mathew

Love these stories of champs I didn’t get the privilege to ever see. That uppercut was a thing of beauty!

So Johnson won a title and demanded that his first defense be against Franklin? They don't make em like that anymore. Nowadays champions duck and dive outta the way of anyone who is a remote threat to their record/title!

This was deep - glad you got this on. They dont make em like this no more! Big heart, big punches - gave it all away.... !!!

I remember most of those fights . My dad and I saw many of Matthew's fights on TV in the 70s and 80s . I would reenact them with my makeshift punching bag hanging in the middle of my room . Many many days and lives ago . Thanks for the walk down memory lane .

What a man I remember watching him fight.

14:53 "Saad uppercut Mwales jaw to the moon in the 4th!" Lol that jaw still ain't come down. DAMN!

This Is what inspired the Golden Era of Boxing.. To some this was the Golden Era

A documentary/video on a boxer that was relatively unknown to me! This channel is one of the best ever on boxing!

This is the first time I have heard of this great man, He was solid. RIP

Have to say your ability to tell a story and your use of the English language is a pleasure to listen to. Yet another amazing video well done!

A real champion from boxing's greatest era.

Yo real talk...that was beautiful. What a guy.

Keep up the good work brother you deserve it.😃😃😃

man i feel so lucky tooo be born in 87. i feel like i got to grow up like u should, outside and with many friends, terrorizing the town on bicycles. i got to grow up with the very beginning phases of the computer, an witness all the major technological breakthroughs as i matured. but i have too say, this new age of the past 10 years, of having video information on youtube n other sites is wonderful for learning of the past. sports, science, cars, everything under the sun is available now for quick learning, probably one of the only things i wish i had growing up! specially for music. anyways, watching your videos is an awesome education of the past in boxing history, an really makes me appreciate the carnage of the boxers of the past. may this man rest in peace, what a savage man coming too lite from such a kind soul!

The production, the writing , and the voice in this channel are absolute legends

I remember watching him fight on tv back in the late 70s and early 80s. He produced some of the most thrilling and action packed fights in Lt Heavy history. He was my favorite fighter as a young kid. I was so bummed when he was beaten by The Camden Buzzsaw. Still Muhammad was class in the ring and even more so in life outside. Too bad he had the ending he came to. It's about time someone tells his story. This is the best channel out there telling these stories of the greatest that ever stepped in the squares circle. My father who just passed away loved boxing and every time there was a fight we tuned in.

Saad was a warrior plain and simple .

Thank you Ryythm Boxing for educating and letting us boxing fans know forgotten boxing greats of the past. I hope Saad Mohammed one day gets the recognition he truly deserves. He was a great champion

Absolutely brilliant thoroughly enjoyed learning about this great champ may his soul live on in peace!

The way you put these stories together, and the way you research the life of the fighters. And Put them together makes me want to share A tear. Because of what they had to go through in order for them to be The person they turned out to be.

*Sumbody Finally Gave This Man His Flowers 💐* 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Remember him fighting in the 80's... such a sad ending (and really, beginning) for his life...

Matthew Saad Muhammad.He wasn't a man.He was a Machine! Just like Aaron(The Hawk)Pryor and(Marvelous) Marvin Hagler they always came for War!

Matthew Saad Muhammad from 1977 thru 1981 he was unreal a light heavyweight for the ages i loved him he was the man

A very exciting and exceptional individual indeed lots of love and respect to him for never forgetting his journey and making every effort to make the lives of those of those destitute and unfortunate better

Oh wow YAQUI LOPEZ!!! Now that is a guy who deserves his own video, a real Mexican boxer who came right before and opened the door for the great Julio Caesar Chavez. Really interesting, long and VERY colorful exciting career

It's no shame. He understood that the world to come is the true prize. All the riches in the world could not compare.

How come we never hear about this man he is a great boxer

Awesome vid ! i'm glad i found out about this hero ! rest in peace !

This fighter is highly motivated

That was one of the best uppercuts I’ve ever seen. Amazing job on the video. Truly a heartbreaking story.

This was masterful. RIP to this great fighter 🤲🏿

I just remember they kept letting him go on fighting, loss after loss. Maybe it was his only source of income, the only trade he ever really learned

This man will never be forgotten.

One of the Greatest Philly fighters of all times! RIP, my brotha!

Thank you for this. May Matthew be at peace he gave it all. tears.

It is good to see that he is getting some recognition . He gave his all . Among the most courageous fighters to ever step in the ring . Well done and Thank You !!

Now I understand why he was buried in an unmarked grave. I myself am struggling to find a word to describe such a soul. Do I call him a man ? A BadAss? A fighter ? A champion ? A saint ? A hero ? Fuck !!!! After watching this , none of those words seem to be enough. I will be forever grateful to have witnessed this story.

One of my favorites growing up! I loved his heart and tenaciousness!!

one of my favorite fighters of all time. RIP champ.

Thank you so much for sharing this heroics of boxer whom we have only come in contact with through this video ...what a germ I hope he still sparkles with the rarest of stars in eternal peace💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I am so happy to watch this legend. Thank you my good sir!

Best boxing channel on UKposts

Thank you for honoring a awesome fighter. He was truly one of the best light "heavies in the history of this sport. He reigned when his division was stacked with great fighters.. I saw all his fights and had the honor of meeting him once. He was a terrific human being. Rest in peace my brother, and much love to you!

Amazing video as always! Can you do one on Emmanuel Augustus? He has had quite a big history. And sort of a sad one but is doing good in life now as a trainer.

What a story of not only a great boxer bit a great man with a huge heart. God bless his soul. 🙏🙏🙏

I watched his fights back n the day.A true warrior

Bravo my brother 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾 what a fantastic piece you've created here! Well done in deed, very big THANK YOU.

Wow,that man was truly blessed in so many ways

Great video

I bet if Gofundme existed then we would have raised a few million for this man, rest in peace brother. Asslamu alaykum

What an indomitable spirit that man had both in the ring and in life. A great human being I hope the man found peace, he deserved to.

Boxing has some of the greatest men in history. Alot of them stories aren't told. This was another gem.

Thank you guys for featuring this great warrior in a video. Hope to see more videos such as this highlighting lesser known fighters in the future.

This is a top notch one Rythm. Please do more of such great fighter. Thank you 🤗🥊🥊🥊

Wow, never heard of this guy. What a beautiful person he was. Thank you for this video.

He was the definition of a warrior one of boxings great talents !

Upper cuts his jaw to the moon🌛 I like that one 😂😂

A truly great man, not just a great fighter. He should have received way more recognition during his lifetime. So sad. RIP Champ!!!

My New favorite fighter Rest In Peace man with character
