    Probably. But at light heavy there are less 'greats' he'd be undersized against whereas Smokin' Joe would have some massive 'greats' to contend with. At the same time Qawi would have a lot more 'greats' to deal with in his division.

    Both match up brilliantly with some brilliant fighters. Frazier had the much harder dig of the two, although Qawi was no feather fist he wasn't a 'banger'. I'd take Conteh's cultured left to do a similar job on Qawi to Spinks but with much more fluid movement. You have to be accurate, have a lot of stamina and be able to change it up and keep cool under fire against Qawi or he'll mug you off and swallow you up.

    I f'n love Qawi. But Saad was 'greater'.

    I watched Qawi vs Leon Spinks last night, good performance by Qawi.

    And since Merchant is retiring in a few years, Lampley will be the only one left of the original HBO team.

    Time waits for no man...

    That's what they said. As I said, badly handled by many.

    My place has been a disaster for a couple of months, first time I've really cleaned up since coming back.

    My Mum does all the cleaning. My boxing DVDs are all over the shop though. Messy and frustrating.

    You still live with your parents?

    I moved back since I was paying too much to live in the dorms at uni.

    Saving like 2 grand.

    Forgot how strict these people were. :lol:

    Yes.

    Grandfather on my dad's side was Spanish/Portugese and my Grandmother from my mothers side was half as well.

    Both of them only spoke Spanish though since they lived in El Salvador.

    I think they knew quite a bit of it but had no practical use for it.
