Jabir Herbert Muhammad — son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad and former manager of boxing great Muhammad Ali — died Monday afternoon at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center.Mr. Muhammad, 79, had undergone open-heart surgery last week, said Joseph Morris, a Muhammad family attorney.
Mr. Muhammad had been in the news last year because of a lawsuit he filed against convicted political fund-raiser Tony Rezko to stay in his South Side mansion, a home built by the late Elijah Muhammad.In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times last year, Mr. Muhammad said Rezko had “embezzled” him out of ownership of the home, even though he and his wife never moved out. They sued Rezko and Dr. Paul Ray, who currently owns the house. The suit is pending.

According to the book SUCKER PUNCH he was one of the “managers” responsible for keeping the aging Cassius Clay in the ring too long and taking those terrible beatings after he was no longer youthful and resilient.
Clay should have known better to have ever gotten involved with this zip wad. If Clay had gone into the Army, served his two years, found better management, boxed for three more years, he would likely be in much better health today and have more money.

"

"
Clay should have known better" Cassius Clay was no rocket scientist; he was merely a strong and agile man.
