    Dwight Qawi at 5'7,he went 7 with foreman who is levels over Valuev im sure he could handle the big limited fighter.

    Foreman beat him down in 7. Mark Young went the same distance. There was nothing in Qawi's performance to suggest he had anything to offer in ways of a blueprint to beating larger fighter. Probably the most overblown performance by a fighter in modern times. Qawi simply got his *ss whipped.

    Valuev was a little slow and was not a knockout puncher for the most part. He could be out boxed. I think Gene Tunney as a light weight could defeat him.

    Foreman didn't win every round,how is he beating him down.foreman had skills ,Valuev just size.Also Qawi was in his late 30's in the foreman fight,so its irrelevant to think a past prime 5'7 guy will defeat the likes of foreman.
