    Instead of fighting Schmeling to get revenge, The Brown Bomber has to defend his title against the slick and skilled contender Qawi

    Would Joe Louis make him cry out in agony and stop him in the first, or would Qawi's exceptional smarts get him the win?

    Qawi was stunned by Spinks in their fight and was very cautious the rest of the way. Louis will do more than stun him, Joe by KO inside 5

    Qawi would get positively killed.

    Qawi puts up a good effort, but you don't get an A for effort against Joe Louis. Louis demolishes him in a sainted demolition.

    If you want Qawi to succeed at HW you put him in with a big dummie like 70s Foreman, Firpo, Chisora, Lyle etc Louis is a more skilled fighter then Qawi, bigger the best boxer he’d have faced and easily the most dangerous.

    Do you hate Qawi? Do you want to see him convulsing on the canvas, choking on his own blood?

    Louis would rip him apart inside 2 minutes.
