Although Eddie is the Heavyweight of the two, he usually operated in the 190lb - 195lb region, the same as Qawi once he moved up to cruiser, so weight differential should not be an issue here. Both acquired so much experience during their careers, both facing over half a dozen one time or other world title claimants, and whilst Dwight beat half of those he faced and Eddie only beat one, Joey Maxim (twice on points) at the very tail end of Joey's career, however, generally Eddie had the much harder assignments against these Championship calibre opponents. Dwights ability to often outjab taller opponents, and his ability to Dip-Slip-And Rip against aggressive minded opponents showed his compactness was rarely a handicap, often he turned it into a virtue. Eddie for his part was an expert at controlling the pace of fight and picking his moments to engage, his mobility and caginess could lead to a very frustrating night for opponents. At the Old Fox stage of His Career Eddie upset young Rising Jerry Quarry, and Later still had enough left to Give Hot Heavyweight Prospect Joe Frazier an excellant 9 rounds education before succumbing in the 10th - If an old Eddie could give young Frazier an interesting evening How would a Prime'ish Eddie do against a smaller, more compact aggressor, but probably not as strong, ? Qawi did not like Cagey mobile spoilers and this label might fit Eddie to a T, The Ingemar - Gottenberg Ambush aside, Nobody stopped Eddie until the end of his career, But could he cope with Qawi's incessant pressure ? Lets say the Eddie of the Liston fight Vs the Qawi of Holyfield 1st fight, both lost over the distance, but both received acclaim for their efforts, Eddie for being competitive with wrecking machine Liston, and Qawi for his "Fight of the year" contribution. So....Would Eddie be too Limber for Qawi ?....or would Eddie be Lumber too for the blades of the Camden Buzzsaw ?
