    Ok I've jumped on the let's make a qawi thread bandwagon

    Qawi vs galento

    It's 15 rounds and potentially a fun fight

    I'm presuming it's the qawi of the first Holyfield fight
    Which galento I admit to not being sure as I have no idea what his best drinking years were

    LOL

    Qawi comes on late to take this by Decision. Both of them beat the snot out of each other.

    What a bloodbath

    Who has fat drunk gallento beat?qawi went toe to toe with Holy..Gallento floored a weak chin Louis,and never would even win a local toughman contest by todays standard.Quawi would hurt fat boy badly,lets do the math quawi who went even 6 with foreman and was winning vs a fat drunk?Well do the math.:bbb

    Lou Nova and Nathan Mann to name at least two.


    Yes and Evander had how many fights again? Remind me what happened in the rematch when Holy was a little more seasoned.



    ..
    Flooring an ATG heavyweight champion in his prime >>>>>> Never coming close to denting one.



    Yeah I shouldn't doubt the guy who lost to Ossie Ocasio and got stopped in four rounds by a 16 fight cruiser rendition of Holyfield. And BTW, Qawi was 5'5" and weighed 222 lbs against Foreman.. Not exactly a pretty site either.

    Bump.
    Qawi was 189lbs 3/4 when he fought Holyfield in the first fight, heavier than a lot of heavyweights in Galento’s era, Qawi also carried that weight well, Galento got battered and stopped by 168lbs Al Gainer, Qawi would tear Galento to shreds, he’d counter him easily, Galento would lunge forward, Qawi would roll, create an angle and counter him, he’d outjab him, Galento fought in a way adapted to fight taller men, so fighting like that here would just leave more gaps for Qawi to counter, he’d beat Galento to the punch and make him miss easily, Galento would fall for the bait and get countered at will, Qawi’s rhythm wasn’t predictable, and Galento’s was more so.
