    After the great LHW era he was in with Spinks, Saad, Johnson, etc...I'm not sure if I'd make any 175 lb. fighter a favorite over a prime Dwight other than RJJ.

    Moorer had an awesome record, but his opposition was limited, like an 175 lb. version of Valero. Tarver was a very big, tall 175 lb. fighter with left hand power and size, but I don't like the way he shells up when he gets hit. Qawi would likely slip Tarver's shots, land some hard shots, and make Tarver too damn tenative to let his hands go.

    Old man Hopkins is, well, too old and Qawi's pressure would force him to work at a pace he doesn't like.

    Always a pleasure to watch the Camden Buzzsaw in action. Personally I'd actually have liked to have seen him and Bert Cooper go at it.

    Only Bradley's height. Qawi build wise was a tank, and one of the physically strongest light heavy's of all time.

    He really was a tough guy. The Foreman and holyfield fight show this.

    After the first fight with Sam Peter, I was convinced that James Toney was possibly the toughest fighter in recent years, and certainly one of the toughest ****ers to ever lace up the gloves.

    If boxing was divided by height instead of weight, would DMQ be the greatest of all time?
