Muhammad Speaks: Pacquiao beats Cotto, Mayweather beats Manny


James Brown, a living rage whenever he took the stage, had The Famous Flames.

That was Soul Brother Number One’s backup group when he used to “take it to the bridge” with Maceo and the rest.

Former world light heavyweight champion and now top flight trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad was formerly known as Eddie “The Flame” Gregory. The nickname was an easy fit as his then manager Jack Singer owned a steakhouse of the same name.

On a New York day so hot that the polar bears in the Central Park Zoo checked into the Plaza Hotel to cool off, I got a phone call from the loquacious ex-champion who grew up in a Brownsville, Brooklyn, housing project with hoops star World B. Free and baseball star turned manager Willie Randolph.

Muhammad’s prize pupil these days is light heavy champion Bad Chad Dawson and he got that job when Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Dawson parted ways.

Thursday found EMM in hot and humid Houston where he will handle Ishe Smith, a decided underdog to unbeaten prospect and Brooklynite Danny Jacobs, under the Malignaggi-Diaz main event on HBO.

Muhammad was quotable as a fighter and he remains topical and on point in 2009.

He’s also opened up a new Vegas gym for boxers and MMA fighters, the International Fight Club at 5818 Spring Mountain Road (near Jones). For more info, contact EMM by email at champround11@aol.com. With the closing last week of the Top Rank Gym, the IFC may pick up some loose fighters from both sports.

Here are some of the topics we touched on including his Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight prediction.

FLOYD VS. MANNY: “Without a doubt, that fight will happen. Pacman’s speed is too much for Miguel Cotto. He can outpoint Cotto just on speed. You can’t beat Manny throwing one jab at a time because he comes right over the top on you. It would take the Mayweather style to beat Manny. Floyd is a full fledged welterweight, he’s just too big for Manny. He will beat Pacquiao.
