    Saad would KO Zaghe late after losing the early rounds

    I doubt there would be much of an issue with weight...in addition to there being no 168 back then, Joe always talked about issues making 168 and he'd probably be at 175 during the same day weigh-in era, even if there were 168

    It'd be a good fight, I lean towards Saad.

    Muhammad took Holyfield's shots and kept coming forward. Joe can't throw anything to keep him at range. Joe might bank some early rounds due to workrate, but once Muhammad's harder shots take effect it is not good for Joe.

    Late stoppage by daddy Cal or the referee.

    Are you confusing Saad with Qawi and his first bout with Holyfield?

    Saad is one of the strongest light heavies i have ever seen, Calzaghe has nothing to keep Saad off of him, Joe would win the early rounds cause Saad was a slow starter but by the mid rounds Saad would be all over him pressing and punishing him to the head and body, Joe tries to fight back but Saad just walks through his shots like their nothing by the 10th round Joe hes on survival mode but Saad is relentless and catches up to him in the 13 th and stops him with a huge right hand.

    Bloody hell. Can't believe so many are going Joe.

    Saad, no doubt. Too big, too strong, and all-round too good. People often have the wrong impression of him as being just a brawler, but he was pretty skilled too. Could hit hard as well. And workrate was impressive. Not a pretty night for Joe.

    This is the General Forum.

    No one knows who MSM is.

    In any case, Saad would have worn Joe down and knocked his ass out late.

    WRONG Muhammed you ****in boxing brain dead ****!

    That would be Dwight Muhammed Qawi you're referring to, another Muhammed would have raped Joe.

    I swear, yall general forum posters know NOTHING about boxing. It's very embarrassing.

    For the record, ALL three Muhammed's would have kicked Joe's overrated ass.

    Saad Muhammed, Dwight Muhammed Qawi, and Eddie Mustafa Muhammed would have all knocked Joe out.

    Saad would've pancaked Calzaghe. Too much power and people forget that he had very quality stand-up boxing skills and an awesome jab when he wanted to use them. Joe's featherfisted swarming attack gets him KO'd for a 10 count.

    Each one of the Muhammad's at their best would be tops in the LHW division today IMO.

    What an era. Now we have Jean Pascal, 48 year old B-Hop, Dawson, and Tavoris Cloud among others :lol:

    what a ****ing joke this site has become when slappy joe who's done nothing at 175 but barely beaten old b-hop and shot rjj and got knocked down by both is leading a poll vs one of the most devastating 175 fighters ever. Joe C fanboys have never even heard of Saad let alone seen him fight. this reminds me of when pac was beating armstrong in a poll at the peak of *******ation.
