Matthew Saad Muhammad (born Maxwell Antonio Loach, June 16, 1954 - May 25, 2014) was a boxer who was light heavyweight champion of the world.
Saad Muhammad's mother died when he was a child, and he and his older brother were sent to live with an aunt. When she was five years old, her aunt could not afford to take care of the two of them and told Saad Muhammad's brother to get rid of him. His brother took him to Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia and then fled. Saad Muhammad was collected by Catholic Social Services. The nuns named him Matthew Franklin (after the saint and the avenue where he was found). Matthew lived in foster homes until a Philadelphia couple adopted him and raised him and cared for him as his own child.
