Qawi was a tremendous fighter i have around 15 or more of his fights with my favourite being the Leon Spinks fight, it also has to be accepted that Mathew Saad Muhammad was only a `Shell` of the once great fighter he once was when he lost to Braxton..

I was disappointed in his fight against Michael Spinks, but he did lose to one of the three greatest 175 pounders of all time. Qawi reminder me so much of Joe Frazier, and he left it all in the ring. A proud and worthy member of the IBHOFOriginally posted by sonnyboyx2 View PostNo he did not give Michael Spinks his toughest fight as a LHW it was a virtual shut-out for Spinks.. Spinks was in a different League to Braxton, Michael Spinks said he knew that he would beat Braxton (Qawi) because he had loanded Braxton $40 and he never re-paid it.

Co-sign bold part. His defence was very underrated, he resented being called a pressure fighter if i remember saying he was more of a counter puncher etc. Speaking about his defence, Saad Muhammad's accuracy was shocking, ive seen Saad vs Conteh 2x, Lopez, Qawi 1+2, Johnson 1+2 and his accuracy ****** imo.
Yeah WTF, Spinks white washed Qawi, he never let Qawi inside once it was not remotley close, unless he is talking about Leon who he battered from pillow to post.
