    Apparently Foreman was a replacement for Cooper and Qawi was supposed to fight Bert. Who would have won if they fought? I think Qawi out points him but Cooper always had such wild fights you never know.

    Foreman wasn't really a replacement, Qawi was training to fight Cooper and supposedly his manager was offered to fight Foreman instead for bigger money so Dwight took the Foreman fight instead. Qawi should beat Cooper, he's a better fighter. Than again a heavyweight Qawi wasn't as consistent, he lost to Tony LaRosa, so I'd say it could be a pick em.

    Bert cooper destroys qawi,cooper was no joke he had serious power.oliver mccall said that bert cooper and lennox lewis did hit harder than tyson(his sparring partner). Cooper did hurt evander seriously and had A war with mercer ,qawi is naturally smaller and he was horrible.at hw

    Qawi wasn't the same force at HW and fought there in the twilight of his career.
    Qawi disadvantages show here against a powerful Cooper. Cooper ko mid rds.

    Qawi v. Cooper would be much better at cruiserweight.

    But Cooper likes the Peruvian Sugar too much, I wouldn't say beating Qawi is a sure thing.
