Dwight Braxton (Muhammad Qawi) ruined my all-tme favourite fighter, Matthew Saad Muhammad. 
Saad was like a real life, light heavyweight Rocky Balboa.
He could take a shellacking, yet come back, battered & bloodied to KO you.
He did that many times over until he ran into the excellent Braxton.
Saad showed tremendous heart as usual against Braxton, but he just did not have enough left.
After losing to Braxton a 2nd time the following year, he became a journeyman overnight!
It was a staggering transformation for a fighter that had been a pretty dominant light heavyweight before that.
