    The cruiser version of Qawi replaces Ezzard Charles and fights Marciano in 1954. Who takes it?

    The Qawi at CW was a defensive wizard and his style would give any sub weight
    200 lb HW difficulties.However if the Rock could wear down the just is equally
    skilled Ezzard Charles and Joe Walcott then so could he Qawi .
    Rock on pts.

    Qawi had good defense but he's there to be hit with everything Rocky throws, on the arms ,shoulders, body and head. Rock by TKO in the 13th

    Yeah the cross arm defense doesn't work well with someone who doesn't mind punching arms and Qwai doesn't have the power to keep Rocky off him

    Qawi would be at a size disadvantage, wouldn't he? Rocky was a plus 200 pound man boiling down to around 190.

    I think he'd stop Qawi in a competitive fight

    He was a buff 260 walkaround weight. He was also 6 foot 4 before reducing.

    Marciano with ease. Qawi’s cross armed guard would come apart early. Once that happens...good night!

    That would be a brutal war in ever there was one. I see Rocky handing Qawi a merciless savaging.
