He was in some memorable fights. He was a very crowd pleasing fighter that took way to much punishment. Came into boxing as Matthew Franklin through the tough Philly Gyms. Its a shame he really didn't have anything when he passed away. He was homeless for quite a while. The light heavyweight class of that time was the best I ever seen. Anyway R.I.P. Saad you were a great fighter and a good person.
