To my everlasting shame, I've not seen all that much of Saad Muhammad. Just never got around to watching him. Fire at will.....
Then you haven't lived. Both Marvin Johnson fights and the first Conteh fight are on YouTube in their entirety WATCH THEM NOW!!!! Then watch the Yaqui Lopez fights. There are of course others on there, that's just my reccomended viewing. Conteh is basically finished by the rematch.
I think the Conteh fights are overrated. That was a jabbing contest for most of the way. Saad vs Johnson 1-2, Lopez 2, Qawi 1-2 are good fights though imo
One of the best jabbing contests ever though:good. Not in the same class as the other Saad fights for action, i agree, but it's actually aged better for me.
I've seen both the Conteh fights and the Lopez one, and I think that's it. I watched the second Conteh fight once and haven't ever been able to bring meself to do so again. I like Conteh too much to watch him get pasted like that. MSM was remarkable though. I'll have to find some spare time. All the hoopla around Pacquiao these days has reminded me that I've never watched much of Flash Elorde either, other than clips of both the Ortiz fights and the second Saddler fight.
Salvador Sanchez-Danny Lopez I&II Thomas Hearns-Mike Colbert Michael Dokes-Greg Page(amateur) Aaron Pryor-Hilmer Kenty(amateur) Marvin Hagler-Bennie Briscoe Roberto Duran-Edwin Viruet Carlos Monzon-Jose Napoles.
So many. After seeing this thread I've actually realised how little boxing I've actually seen. Arguello v Pryor II Duran v Buchanan Holyfield v Bowe III
Still haven't seen: Foster - Ahumada or Galindez - Ahumada. Pedroza - Taylor (saw the original airing, never saw it again) Buchanan - Laguna I Lupe Pintor - Jose Uziga & Jovito Rengifo Ray Mancini - Ernesto Espanan Barry Mcguigan - Danilo Cabrera
Jose Napoles-Curtis Cokes II...I feel however, that the rematch was a virtual carbon copy of the 1st.
Looking back, I'm pleased to have now updated myself on Saad Muhammad. And I've delved further into Elorde's career without actually acquiring much footage.
Give me six or seven years with no distractions and I suppose I could find 90% of them. This could turn into an obnoxiously long thread.
