George Foreman vs Dwight Qwawi

I did a piece on this in the Lounge a while back...... I'm looking for a CLEAN copy of this fight........ I can't believe nobody has this thing laying around........

I pick Qwawi.

 

lmao that's funny maxmomer

 

It's for your own sanity. Qawi at 5' 7" and about 235lbs was not a pretty sight. :thumbsup

 

How well would the younger Qawi have done against that mature version of George had he weighed 175? (In other words, at the same height and weight as Tommy Burns.) Would a well-conditioned Qawi have fared worse than the aged fat edition actually did do in cleverly stealing some rounds from Foreman?

 

Well Qawi at this point was from memory only just out of the Cruiser division that was 190/195 lbs at the time, so if he'd have entered the fight at around 205lbs he'd have had (IMO) a better chance. My memory of the bout is very hazy.

 

If I'm not mistaken, Foreman was 235 for this fight. I think this was the lightest he weighed in his comeback. I remember seeing a list of his weights before one of his fights on HBO, against Rodriguez if I recall correctly.

I've always wondered if Foreman felt more comfortable above 250 after his encounter with Qawi.

 

Thanks for putting that up

Boxrec has Qawi at 222lbs, I was being unkind to him.

 

Qawi put up a pretty good fight. He made George looked comical at times. As short was Qawi was, George had a hard time hitting him really cleanly at times.
