    Haven't seen the Galindez fight....would like to, is it on the tube???

    Conteh was a massive waste of natural talent.

    I think Foster would use his jab and reach to keep Qawi at bay and outbox him to a decision, fundamentally similar to how Spinks did.

    But Qawi was a great fighter too IMO, and not someone you could underestimate.

    Qwai was a monster till hit. He tasted Spinks power in round one of their bout and fought a cautious fight the rest of the way ... No way he does much against Foster ... Bob was way too dangerous ...

    Hmmmm.....I dunno, the Saad fight would say otherwise? Qawi was past prime by the time he fought Spinks, he still put up a fight, round 7 for instance (if I remember correctly) he really puts the pressure on.

    Qawi was right in his prime when he fought Spinks. It was 3 1/2 years before he gave a remarkable effort up at Cruiser against Holyfield. Spinks was just a little better than him. I think Qawi would get stopped by Foster if he pressed hard and get decisioned if he got cautious.

    Qawi wasn't specifically past his prime when he fought Spinks, he just wasn't at his best for that particular matchup. Not that he'd have ever beaten Spinks, IMO.

    It was in response to the guy who said Qawi was good until hit.
