How would light heavyweight champion Qawi fare against world heavyweight champion, Tommy Burns? :think
Burns beat decent heavyweights, Qawi isn't blowing him away .He might get his head handed to him here.
I think that you're underestimating Burns big time. He was the heavyweight champion of the world, had fairly good movement, and had a heck of a right hand. Maybe Dwight would beat him, but it wouldn't be a cakewalk. By the way, cool handle, John Galt. I found out who John Galt was in 2012 while campaigning for Ron Paul.
Yeah, I don't agree that Qawi would run through Burns in 30 seconds but based on the clip that Galt posted, I'd expect Qawi to outbox him soundly. Qawi's jabbing & countering skills, coupled with his elusive head movement, would give Burns a ton of problems. Also had a great chin and physical strength (appears to be naturally bigger than Burns).
I agree with all of this. I call that style of fighting "plan and pounce" and I think it's a huge liability against opponents with good jabs, head movement, and footwork (especially one as strong and sturdy as Qawi).
