    Say Berbick and Saad got injured in their upcoming fights with Ali and Braxton. So, Braxton is offered big money to fight Ali in the Bahamas. He comes in at 180. Ali has big advantages in height, weight and reach, but is spent otherwise. Braxton is in his ferocious prime. I think Braxton stops him in 8-10 with Ali taking a beating before the fight is stopped. Ali's reflexes were gone. This is basically a copy of Qawi vs Leon Spinks.

    Watched the first Braxton and Saad fight the other night and I realized that it occured in the same month as Ali vs Berbick. Kinda got me thinking........

    Imo,if you want a fair fight,I guess nerf Qawi into his Jinx/Foreman form.

    Btw, I love my Qawi dvd career set that I got on Ebay several years ago, I might have to check on there to see what else is available. I havent in awhile.

    Can't blame you, Qawi up to Holyfield II never gave everyone an easy fight

    It's okay to match up Ali up to his SuperDome appearance after that it's gratuitous.

    It's too bad he wasn't about 25 lbs lighter and not drinking a 5th of whiskey a day against Foreman. He was in awful shape and still nailed Foreman with some heavy shots.

    Decrease his age by 5 years at the time he fought Holyfield the first time and he might beat Evander.

    Qawi on points comfortably by that point.
