Light-heavyweights: Joey Maxim vs Matthew Saad Muhammad

[elmersalsa]

A very explosive fight. I pick Saad by late KO.

another interesting welterweight bout. My pick? I do not know. Both had tremendous skills and can bang.

I don't see Muhammad stopping Maxim when Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, Jimmy Bivins, Joe Walcott, Floyd Patterson, Eddie Machen and all those other great fighters couldn't. I'll go with Maxim by SD15.

on this occasion the sim saw it only slightly different than your prediction. This would have been a very competitive fight.

competitive..yes...maxim by decision...but not split. saad would have had to kayo maxim to win this one...and he wouldn't be able to....for the logical reasons listed by decagon. maxim competed for years against heavies and top light heavies. kayoed once..caught cold by the dangerous hatchetman....beat him by decision about three weeks later.

superb boxer...great chin....knew how to fight inside if he had to.
