Franklin-Saad in the 77-80 era was a true beast. ^^^

A top ten LHW for that period of time?

I agree Saad was starting to decline by the time he beat lost to Braxton. I would not say he was used up. He certainly was used up after the second Braxton beating.

I do think, however that peak Braxton would pose very troublesome even for the peak Saad. Braxton's defense was exceptional. I do think Saad may be successful with the type of left hook/uppercuts he showed in many of his prime fights. He didn't seem to try that punch much against Braxton. Peak Saad may have beaten peak Braxton but I wouldn't say it's close to certain that he would do so. He wasn't shot for the first Braxton fight and it was very one sided. He really didn't hit Braxton much.
