Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield in his prime. He is still today the greatest cruiserweight world champion of all times and could have been champion in that weight class for years to come if he had not jumped up to heavyweight, but he did the right thing to become a heavyweight becuse there was no excitment or thretning opponents left in the cruiserweight division and in the heavyweight league there where so much more potential opponents.

Dwight Mohammad Qawi was a tough and solid boxer when he was sharp. Evander Holyfield have during his whole career said that his first fight with Qawi is the toughest fight he have ever went and with good reason as both men was heavy exhousted and seriusly dehydrated after the fight. Respect to Dwight Qawi

@RapedByRepublicans He was suspected of it for a long time and his enlarged heart after the Moorer fight is also a sign of steroid abuse so I would say it's at least before then. I don't think the evidence an allegations have been acted upon because of lull in heavyweight boxing at the moment.

@Brownpride480 Foreman knows the showman aspects of boxing though and I think he held Qawi up and let him have his chances so he didn't look like a big guy pummeling Qawi.

@KaoMao1993 i have read it and its actually 15. but ur right he got heart

[Brownpride480]

Despite Dwight Muhammad Qawi's very small size for a light heavyweight to heavyweight which his height is 5'5.5", he's one tough little fucker and surprisingly went the distance with Holyfield, went the distance with Michael Spinks and took many of George Foreman's shots(despite that he's past his prime) until Qawi was exhausted and had to quit in the 7th round.

@worldcoup Some time passed, but... this fight was in 1986.

[KaoMao1993]

in evander's biography, he mentioned that he lost 10 lbs DURING this fight. He's got heart

@liljoerox

toney v. jirove alone validated that whole division. JT claims he's actually gonna drop back down to cruiser, i'm skeptical but would fucking love to see that.

An incredibly risky decision on the part of Holyfield and his management to put him into the ring against a tough veteran like Qawi in a 15-rounder. Holyfield had only ever gone so far as 8 rounds up to this point, but obviously he proved his mettle here
