Qawi hands down. Stevenson was a heavy hitter but he would be in with guy that had no ****s to give about his power. If Spinks, Saad and Holyfield (at 190) couldn't hurt him, than I don't see Stevenson getting it done. Aside from having an iron chin, Qawi had exceptional defense and stamina unlike Stevenson.
Qawi was one tough SOB. I don't see how one-dimensional Adonis is able to keep Qawi at bay. I see Dwight overwhelming Stevenson, wearing him down and stopping him around the 9th rd.
No he wouldn't. Qawi would go through any version of Stevenson, EXTREMELY easily. Qawi ain't Tavoris Cloud. It would be a totally one sided mugging.
Stevenson would be put in a meat grinder. No way he would see the last bell. Stevenson would either quit or his corner throw in the towel.
The thing is that straight left-hand was thrown like a missle and it was thrown FAST and from a southpaw stance. And it was a legitimate one punch power shot. I'd make Stevenson a live underdog for the first 3/4 rounds. After that he almost has 0 chance and would get stopped. The problem for Dwight is I Don't think he ever fought a southpaw that throws that left-hand that powerful or fast so he would have to adjust.
Spinks did hurt Qawi when they fought and he wasn't as aggressive after that losing a decision,,,but Adonis ain't Mike Spinks. He'd have to rock Qawi early and stop him,,something I just don't see happening as Qawi grinds him down. I'd give Adonis a 1 in 5 chance at best
