Re: Holyfield vs. Quawi I
Agreed. It's the closest thing I've ever seen to Hagler-Hearns.
Re: Holyfield vs. Quawi I
I thought Corrales Castillo would be closer to Hagler Hearns.
And Qawi WON!!!
Re: Holyfield vs. Quawi I
It was the greatest cruiserweight fight of all time. While that's not saying to mch, it's still a great fight. I wouldn't put it above Chico-Castillo or Hagler Hearns though. It's been such a long time since I've seen that fight, I'm due to watch it soon.

Yup it was Dwight Braxton. I think that was his name when he fought Saad Muhammad.
Re: Holyfield vs. Quawi I
Why did they have such bad defense? It wasn't horrible, but they weren't blocking like any shots... In Castillo vs. Corrales their hooks were crisp, and they kept their other hand by their chin... IN this fight it was literally I'll hit you, and you hit me.
Re: Holyfield vs. Quawi I
an absolutely classic fight. the last of the great fifteen rounders.

Re: Holyfield vs. Quawi I
Great fight.....Hearns Hagler, Gatti Ward and Corrales Castillo are ahead tho imo.
