    He's not given over Archie despite age.
    Ingo may upset him once he tastes that right hand power , just maybe
    Chuvalo would be tough
    He's not beating Quarry or Ellis.

    Qawi would most likely go 3-7 or maybe 5-5 if he catches guys like Quarry and Jackson on a bad night. As good as Qawi was he doesn't have Patterson's punching power, hand speed, or Patterson's mentality to throw caution to the wind and jump on guys.

    Qawi's defensive style would work against him against guys like Ellis, Cooper, Archie Moore, Johansson, and Chuvalo, who would go right after Qawi.

    No, he wouldn’t. Odds don’t work like that. He’d have to be a huge favorite on average to win ten times in a row.

    I didn't think so; the OP makes it seem like we can match the best version of Qawi for each fight to me.

    If that is the case then I have no doubt he would lose along the way.

    I believe that “best versions” are usually due to who the opponent is and what kind of form the opponent is in plus random events in the ring.

    Yeah, Paul Spadafora performed like an ATG against Porto Cardona.

    Spinks right hand took out some of the aggression from Qawi once he tasted the power. Qawi had good defense but wasn't the kind of mover that could escape Liston like Machen or Ali. I got Liston by stoppage.

    He could suffer at least 2 stoppages

    A 190 pound 5"7 Qawi is going to walk down Sonny Liston? That belongs in the Canelo stops Foreman thread
