    A lot of animal analogies in this thread, very fitting because these 2 were both BEASTS! I'd say Qawi is the hungry hyena since he's always grinning with his mouthpiece, Tua is more of a lion, cool and calm unless he's provoked, then things turn deadly as we saw in the cases of John Ruiz and Shane Cameron.

    Perhaps Qawi's thoughts on facing heavyweights might be revealing? Asked in Dec 1981 ,just after beating Saad for the title Qawi said,
    "Larry Holmes,Mike Weaver,Gerry Cooney,.I'll fight them only if they come down with a disease.
    Maybe if I had elevator shoes,I'm not looking that way,if it ever did happen,it would be the fight of my life.But I'm not planning on getting hurt,and I could get hurt ,doing something like that".

    The 5'5 Qwai's durability, power, and stamina becomes too suspect against a genuine HW. A more collected Holyfield KOed him early and he gassed out trying to put a dent in the older Foreman. Though he was older in these matches, I think they are still somewhat telling of what we can expect here. I think he probably comes at Tua gunz blazing, but fails to move him, and probably gets hurt and laid out by returning fire. This isn't the same as a hypothetical Marciano, Dempsey, or Frazier overcoming a weight disadvantage and beating Tua up.

    I think Qawi's odds against Tua might actually be better than Marciano's due to his vastly superior defense.

    The idea that Qawi could dent Tua when Ibeabuchi could not is actually hysterical. There I've said it.:patsch

    I wouldn't draw any conclusions off a single fight, especially an engima like Ibeabuchi, but yeah, it's doubtful Qawi has the power to hurt, dent, move, or concern Tua.

    No way Braxton could beat Tua . Dwight is too small and could not hurt Tua at all.
