    Walcott wins by split decision, in a fight everyone would love to see. Tough night for both boxers.

    Walcott by knockout. I see it being a tough fight until Qawi walks into one of Walcott’s counters.

    I think Walcott hit harder than Holyfield, particularly the 187 pound Holyfield that knocked out Qawi.

    I'm a fan of Qwai but Walcott was bigger, stronger, faster and a seriously harder hitter .. when he went 15 with Holyfield I'm pretty sure Evander had all of ten fights ... I see Walcott by decision ...

    Great style match up. I think qawi can overwhelm Wolcott eventually even tho I'm a big fan of both guys. This would be a great fight long as Wolcott had enough to eat and a real camp before.

    Walcott is the favorite here, Qawi was at his best at 175 pounds. Best he could do is go the distance

    Bump.
    Prime Walcott wins, had the mobility and awkwardness to throw off Qawi’s balance and rhythm, use his length and keep the left out on Qawi’s head when Qawi leads off then tie him up, feint, jab, don’t take risks and fall onto counters, fight a cautious fight, don’t throw too many right hands or leaping left hooks as he usually did because he could get countered, he doesn’t need to over complicate it, simply use a versatile jab and keep his range when Qawi leads. Walcott was naturally bigger, he was in the late 190s and shredded, Qawi was kind of soft at 190lbs, don’t know if he could hurt Walcott.

    A fight that I'd love to see. An awkward and fun slugfest that I feel that could go either way, but if I had to pick, I'd go with Walcott. I do feel like his power might be too much for Qawi to cope with.

    Walcott is money here.

    He was a natural HW and was seriously battle tested, proving that he could hang with the big guys.

    The best Qawi was a LHW, but went he tried to go up in weight just got himself splattered.
