I wouldn't say Qawi was " a level above" it was mostly a styles thing. Qawi gets him every time because of that method of attacking from down...
Just looked it up. It was Burt Young.
I like that Holmes quote. He's not wrong.
The Qawi fight wasn't a punchathon, but there was a great tension the whole time about how long could Spinks keep the bull at bay. This fight...

I'll have a gander at that hopefully this weekend. Painting my staircase today.
