    Damn you, John - came here to say the exact same thing! Good call.

    Qawi-Scott has to be the no. 1 prison matchup of all-time. One former inmate of Rahway facing a present inmate in that same prison and the winner going on to get a shot at the world title. Crazy.

    Too me, BHOP is number one because I think he benefited from prison the most. After prison he became one of the most dedicated and disciplined fighters that ever lived and was a champion that truly tested himself against the best.

    From what I can tell, he has made the most of his life after such a rough start and is a dedicated family man and is very successful as a business man as well.

    I'm not going to waste my time praising any of the pieces of **** that have victimized people post boxing career. Too many of those dudes in our sport and in life on general. I like the stories of the guys that turned their lives around after a rough start. Qawi is another guy that made the most of his 2nd chance.
