Dwight Muhammad Qawi - lost to Foreman, Holyfield x2 at cruiserweight, Michael Spinks, and beat Leon Spinks.
Mainly amuses me because of his 5ft 5 height, imagine someone like him in the current heavyweight era in terms of the high volume of really tall guys.
However, if anyone actually saw him fight, how did he overcome his short stature to still achieve a moderate amount of success?
Here's an interesting article about him from 1981, talking about his WBC light heavyweight title win after spending 7 of his first 25 years in prison for armed robbery.
