Known as "Flame", Muhammad turned pro in 1972 and in 1977 challenged WBA Light Heavyweight Title holder [[Víctor Galíndez]] but lost a unanimous decision. He got a second shot at the title against [[Marvin Johnson (boxer)|Marvin Johnson]] in 1980, and won via an 11th-round TKO to take the belt. He defended the belt twice in 1980 and lost a non-title bout against [[Renaldo Snipes]] in 1981. Later in 1981 he would lose his title as well in a defense against [[Michael Spinks]] via unanimous decision.

 

Muhammad made a brief comeback in 1988, but hung up the gloves for good later that year after losing via TKO to journeyman Arthel Lawhorne.
