I don't see Breidis beating the Qawi from the first Holyfield fight which is one of the best fights I've ever seen. The Qawi from the rematch on the other hand......
Briedis would keep Qawi at a distance and not let him impose his strengths on the fight. Briedis is a very cerebral fighter who's able to adapt and neutralise a fighter's key strengths. Very underrated CW historically.
Why was the fight so good though? Because Holyfield opted to fight at close quarters which played to Qawi's strengths. It has very little bearing how he performs against a fighter that opts not to fight in that manner.
Qawi had phenomenal timing and a great jab. Plus he was very cerebral. I respect your opinion but my money would be on that Qawi
