Best version of Qawi goes up to like 190lbs or so (as he was against Holyfield) to take in Johansson, the weights are a very similar. Who wins this matchup?
I like Qawi in this fight. I think he has the defensive skillset to navigate that big right hand and the chin to stand up to it if Ingo lands it. More importantly, Qawi liked to fight at a hard pace which is something that Ingo didn't like to do. Ingo would paw with that jab and look for an opening to land that right hand. Good luck landing that right hand against Qawi with his head movement and defensive prowess.
In theory, yes, but I wouldn't trust him to keep Qawi @bay for an entire fight. This is more the way I see it. I would put more trust in Qawi's ability to slip the right hand & get pressure on Ingo than I would for Ingo to fight a near-perfect fight & keep Qawi @ a distance for an entire fight.
Qawi's got it. Way to awkward, aggressive, and skilled for Ingo, I believe. But what about Floyd Vs Dwight?
