He was 5'6

Ever heard of Langford

Sam Langford was barely 5’7

Tommy Burns is the shortest Heavyweight Champion of all time. He was 5' 7". Though heavyweights on average were a lot smaller back then.

Google says he is 5'5

The Texan yes sir. Two slick, iron chinned warriors.

Man! that would have been a smoker.

Headbutt KO

Not really. Styles make fights and those two evasive counter punchers facing each other would have made for a odd match up.

Nad Navlis your trippin bro counter punchers miss punches too eventually someone is bound to slip up and as they get more tired probably get a little less disciplined

will do

im seriosly Digging your Channel. Schooling me big time on all these fighters never even heard of. Thank you for the Great Videos

BalBin 032 Glad you enjoy mate.

Why didn`t L.Spinks punch him to the body when he poked his chin out Calzaghe style? Do you think Qawi could have done that to Jones? It was the worst night of my life! Do you think a light heavy who was a dangerous and powerful as Foreman could have beat Qawi? Kind of a pound for pound fight.

Did you not have another Qawi highlight as well?

Yeah that's classic :)

Right. Says something about his confidence 🥊🥊

Perfectly put!

@@hanzagod thank you and thanks for all the great boxing videos you make.

George asked him to quit before it gets worse. George said " Don't get killed".

No it wasn’t you idiot, quawi was a great fighter in his own right and could hold his own .

Besides, Qawi still kept hold, although knocked down by a vicious Foreman kidney punch.

I would point out that Qawi did it on 2 weeks notice and went from cruiserweight to heavyweight on short notice.

The only thing that stopped him from winning that fight was a well placed body shot from Foreman. I really saw Dwight being able to win that fight if he would have kept going. Also even though that was “old George”, he was in shape almost similar to his prime days.

slimithy12 cause he trained in his gym. He was pupil of joe

Guido Octavio that’s dope

slimithy12. Exactly.

Shit you saw that. Couldn't put it in words

Yeah he's Muhammad 'Smokin' Pea' Qawi

This is a late reply but I heard that Joe trained qawi at his gym, pretty cool.

SDS Overfiend was Champ in the 1st 1. He beat holyfield completely in that 1. holyfield did not take the belt @all

Forget that, dude. The fact that he went up against Foreman and was able to put up a fight.. DAMN.

Shoulda seen how bad he clowned Spinks.

@Mike That’s Even Better 😭😭🥴🥴

He seems like an awesome guy!!!

what a class act............forever immortal

Foreman looked very lethargic in that fight almost like he didn't want to be there, definitely one of his worst performances during his comeback. Credit to Qawi for going up and challenging such a fearsome fighter though.

Bro 😂😂😂

True. He was rushed to the hospital after this fight and had to be pumped with fluids.

@@EverettBurger Swear

A pound every round !!!

Heffe JayWEY hir reach doesn't look like much tbh🤔

He had a short reach but got good extension and closed the distance very fast..

He had a long reach for his height, even Holyfield said he had a longer reach . This is also true as he used to dip his head down while jabbing which extends your jab significantly

5’5 height 5’11 wingspan that ratio not that common at that height

Heffe JayWEY I just looked it up and he did have a great reach. That definitely helped him with fighting taller opponents.

what about prime mike tyson? He dident get hit

@@davidfitzgerald4683 Tyson was an aggressive counter puncher, not a pressure fighter. The difference is that a pressure fighter like Qawi is constantly going forward and initiating the attack, exchanging in very close range. Aggressive counter punchers like Tyson usually wait for their opponent to throw a shot, and then they come right back with a swarming barrage. Very similar, but also very different.

@@WarEnjoyer-gm5yh Mike Tyson was an inside boxer not a counter puncher, he would counter punch, of course, but he was an inside boxer, qawi counter punches in almost every single one of the clips here but is obviously a pressure fighter as that's his style. Canelo would be described as a counter puncher in style as he waits 8 rounds to throw a fight ending counter. Whereas Tyson would jump on the inside as soon as the fight started normally exploiting their punch but that is not being a counter puncher.

@@Alex-cw3rz He was what is called an "aggressive counter puncher". Inside fighting relies on staying close at all times, exchanging blows, a hellacious work rate, and a lot of bodywork. Tyson could be aggressive with efficiency but its not what made him what he is. He was at his best when he waited for an opponent to attack first. Waiting for a shot, usually evading it with explosive head movement, and firing back in combinations with full power and speed. His style was suited for early round KO's because his body was very explosive, and because he had asthma. He could not keep the same explosiveness in the first 6 rounds and take it into the later ones. Qawi was all out pressure, his style required conditioning. It was more based off of his ability to wear down his opponents with hard jabs and body shots and then finish them instead of a quick KO with power and speed. Tyson could be a pressure fighter and Qawi could be a counter-puncher because they were both good well rounded boxers, but their styles were built upon what they were better at and naturally suited for.

His style reminds of joe frazier

Yea for sure one of my all time favorite fights, that and Toney-Jirov were the best fights at Cruiserweight.

+haNZAgod Yes! I could not agree more with you man!!!

He also trained at Joe Frazier's gym, I believe for his entire career. Hence the extremely similar style.

Glad you like them mate!

He treated him like a child lol

About what..?

Oh okay ,I had to go back

6 seconds of pure rage for holy

Appreciate it as always mate!

He was terrible mate, just look at any of his fights haha.

+haNZAgod Just did, man that record is deceiving

That's Michael Spinks he actually beat Qawi in that fight. He was certainly frustrated at times with Qawi's defensive skills though, very hard to hit.

Snap!Now I know though I can’t stop watching,absolutely love his style of fighting!Dwight genuinely looked like he enjoyed every second of it!

Man you HAVE to watch some Qawi fights, especially Qawi-Holyfield 1

Just did. Amazing!!

Qawi vs holyfield 1 is a must see

Hagler had problems with smaller man coming up to fight him. Qawi would destroy him.

Your statement does not make sense. You are saying SMALLER fighters like who? DURAN who fought and beat Barkley! HEARNS who KOd light heavyweights? SRL? Who is a top 5 welter all time! Hagler was the greatest middle of all time actually.

@@TheUmmahFightCamp His comment made perfect sense. Hagler's toughest competition came from below. His era was weak. He would do very well in any era though,. Greatest?

Yeah, it's nice to show those dumb bitches it's not what a dude looks like that's important, it's how good that thing inside his skull is.
