    He never fought an all-out pressure force like Qawi in his whole career. He may have fought some pressure fighters, but none as good as he was. I don't think Roy could handle it for 12 full rounds. Qawi by KO

    Not sure he would lose, but there is no one on Roy's resume that matches Qawi in term of intellegent agression, not even close. The guy was a beast and knew how to get in against boxer. As for me, i just think Roy would have ducked him. He never wanted anypart of Jirov, who was some kind of a lesser version of the man formerly known as Dwight Braxton.

    Roy Jones would handle him with ease. He miles to fast and smart. Qawis only little sucess would be on the ropes

    Dwight Braxton was a baaaaaaaad man! Roy might win a decision, but Qawi could put Roys lights out at any given moment. Would have been a great fight.

    Watch some fights with Roy fighting smaller opponents.
    He hits him thrice before quawi is in reach.

    Qawi's defense was a joy to watch at times.

    There is no possible way Qawi wins this. He's a great fighter but Roy is boxing and pot shotting from the outside all night long. Roy wins this fight 19 out of 20 times.

    The guy who gave a prime Jones the most trouble (Griffin in the first fight) was a short guy like Qawi.

    Different type of fighter, but short and squat.

    Jones wins, but Qawi would press him enough that it wouldn't be the usual easy, one-sided win for him.
