This fight should be in everyone’s all time top 10 of the greatest world title fights on film. It’s just that good. And round 8 is a legitimate contender for the greatest round of all time, along with the likes of Hagler-Hearns round 1, Gatti-Ward round 9 and Corrales-Castillo round 10.
@@JohnyShoeShineGuy Well, I wouldn’t put round 15 of Weaver-Tate in that company myself. An unbelievably dramatic and surprising end to the fight for sure but in pure action terms, it doesn’t compare with those others.
@@HaraDuran I don't find it particularly dramatic. Foreman was completely gassed and arm-weary by the 8th and Ali was battering him. If you mean dramatic in terms of Ali regaining the title, sure.
The Light-Heavyweight division back in the 1970s and 80s was absolutely stacked. Saad Muhammad, Yaqui Lopez, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Marvin Johnson, John Conteh. Wonderful time
Yep,and Michael Spinks too,light heavy and heavyweight back then was stacked,although the heavyweight is kinda dry after the 70s and is basically a wasteland in the 90s
@@HaraDuran I would say the 90s heavyweight division was pretty good in hindsight. Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Ray Mercer, Riddick Bowe, Tommy Morrison, Shannon Briggs, even older George Foreman was still entertaining. There were others like Herbie Hide, Michael Moorer and Bert Cooper who were absolute warriors. Obviously the 70s is the golden age of heavyweight champion boxing but the 90s wasn't a terrible time in my opinion. Better than the Klitschko era and better than the heavyweight division of today. It's fun watching old fights and travelling down memory lane. 🥊
@@HaraDurannaw it's the 2000s HW era that went down hill after lewis holyfield bowe Tyson left are got too old the heavyweight division sucked after that
MSM is my favorite one of the best Light Heavyweights Champs ever he was the man he could hit hard with each hand move well take a punch and had the mind and heart to keep pushing to victory from 1977 thru 1981 he was unreal
One of the great fights, with round 8 being one of the greatest rounds in championship history. Lopez was so close to winning the fight and the belt in that round, unbelievable that Muhammad survived. Hardly anyone would have been able to come back from that.
I don't think those fights ruined him so much as the four years of slug-fests that preceded them. All those brawls put a lot of mileage on Muhammad's odometer and at a certain point, the engine conks out.
Господи помилуй! Мухаммад уверенно, нахально работает с дистанции, вблизи драться не умеет! Лопес плотно "закрыт", подбирается поближе, выглядит разнообразнее, хитрее! Если не ошибаюсь, он дрался с Найджелом Беном! ТОП Рэнк, спасибо!
Why this fight was great. It was 15 rounds. After 12 I had it Lopez. Boxing not the boxers today is s joke. Corruption up the ying yang. Bad decision and paper Champions. Will never know if Floyd would still be undefeated for example and Many others.

as well as 15 round of Weaver vs Tate

@@jel2106 for dramatic ends pull out round 8 of ali vs foreman.
How about Foreman vs. Ron Lyle? Pick any round in that fight.

This fight and Franklin vs Marvin Johnson 1 & 2 are probably the 3 greatest LHW fights I've ever seen. From 77 to 82 the LHW division was on fire 🔥 .
Saad never fails to entertain,until the Qawi fight where he eventually lost that comeback boy ability...
@@noelfoley3850 Fantastic fights all three of them and I agree. Although Moore-Durelle 1 definitely deserves to be part of that conversation.

Spinks was the top light HW in that era before him Bob Foster
@@CaseyCook-xs2ob I can't believe I didn't put Spinks' name in there. An absolute legend

He defended his title like 3 to 4 times a year which is unreal considering his fighting style. Did his body even have time to heal?
@@jonathanwhite1265 Yes sir he was the MAN
Thank you for emptying the vaults. Keep it Coming 🔥🔥
Both Muhammad vs Lopez fights were crazy
Championship fights channels 2 and 4 and channel 7 every weekend in 1980
Please do more Saad Muhammad fights please 🙏

Crazy it’s 2024 and I’m over here cheering for Yaqui Lopez 💪
Yeah, me as well.
What a fight!!!!!!
Интересный бой, напряжëнный! Бойцы разные, спасибо!

Мухаммад берëт количеством! Лопес бьёт редко, да метко! Спасибо!
Great fight ❤ New sub here
This is whe. Boxing was great. Rgis was channel 2. 2 .4 . And 7 great fights every weekend
In his heyday Saad Muhammad could almost ALWAYS weather the storm and win. Shame that the Qawi fights ruined him
I don't think those fights ruined him so much as the four years of slug-fests that preceded them. All those brawls put a lot of mileage on Muhammad's odometer and at a certain point, the engine conks out.
@@robotboy719 Yeah, you’re right.
@@robotboy719 If in 1979 1980 MSM fights Qawi he would have beaten him soundly for sure
@artkazyak3242 I agree. Qawi would always give Saad trouble but prime for prime I think Saad takes him
44:07 that was 💯% a slip

Maybe I’m wrong but Joshua Buatsi reminds me a lot of Muhammad, both powerful plotty light heavyweights among other things
Попал Саад, попал, спасибо!
