One day I looked up this guy out of curiosity and surprisingly his record was 35-0-0. Then you look at the fighters he took on and you scratch your head and wonder why he didn't move up to fight better fighters. It seems like he has some power with 31 ko's. But 19 of the fighters he has taken on have had sub .500 records. He has taken on perrenial tomato cans - Frankie Hines (twice), Marion Wilson, and Danny Wofford. The "best" (not saying much) fighter he has taken on is Otis Tisdale and he TKO'ed him in round 6. Saleem has been knocked down twice in his career by Larry Carlisle and Melvin Foster.
From the looks of it, he seems like he has flaws that would prevent him from being a serious contender in the HW division but I am surprised he hasn't taken a money fight against mid-level or top contender. I'm sure he would give one of them a decent night's work.
