Dwight Qawi vs Johnny Davis III - Forgotten Light Heavyweight Trilogy

[@cedricliggins7528]

I forgot how formidable a contender Johnny Davis was. Qawi as usual never disappoints

[@aakim58]

Qawi had the best inside boxing style in boxing history. GREAT jab to the head or body, chin tucked, great head movement, threw all punches in combination.

[@apex_prowler95]

The Hempstead Hammer!!! One of my boxing claims to fame is being made a fool of and learning about the sweet science by Johnny in the early '90s. The last few years of the TimeOut Club in Hempstead. Very skilled and tough fighter. Hell of a humble and nice man. Slick Willy Wise, who started at the TimeOut Club, has an interesting story. Salute Rich🫡

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Thanks, Apex. Davis was crafty, I'm envious.

[@Ren_Brands]

Thanks for the video, always fun to watch Qawi.

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

My pleasure, Ren.

[@v2vroth]

Another great video Rich thanks so much. Love Qawi when he fought Evander Holyfield and Michael Spinks.🥊🥊

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Thanks, Vinny.

[@paolomonzio972]

Great Qawi...and great trilogy...Johnny Davis was tough...Rich is always on point, as usual excellent memory...thanks🙏❤🥊

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Hey thanks, Paolo.

[@dericklapite6226]

Another gem from Rich, enjoyed the exchange at the end between Qawi and Micheal Spinks two great fighters showing respect also the homage to the Marvelous one 🫡

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Thanks, Derick.

[@jamesdykes2968]

I literally just finish watching the Charlie Weir show, now this. Thanks Rich.

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Sure thing, Charlie.

[@MPR-xv7ey]

Thanks for the insight on this trilogy!! Reminds me of the John John Molina vs Tony Lopez trilogy that no one talks about 🥊👍

[@Kuwaitisnot_adeployment]

Ok here we go perfect timing

[@martinmulligan8451]

Great fight of the times another great video from rich 👏 keep up the good work 👏

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Thank you, Martin. More to come.

[@MPR-xv7ey]

Thanks For the Boxing Knowledge 🥊💯

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Sure thing, MPR.

[@TheBatugan77]

I remember the Davis brothers, having grown up on Long Island myself...and sometimes it was confusing, because Howard Davis of Freeport (unrelated) was also known as John-John.

[@bookah8787]

I tried to watch this yesterday but it was late I was exhausted catch them in the morning 👍

[@bookah8787]

Is the fighter in the blue shorts the same guy who fought big George foreman? The one you put on a few days ago Richie mate, looks familiar

[@bookah8787]

Reminds me of smoking Joe his bobbing and weaving aggressive come forward fighter bet he was no walk in the park .

[@bookah8787]

We need that one now Richie lol spinx kawai if they fought .

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

That's correct, bookah, although he's a lot older and fifty pounds heavier.

[@towers950]

Nice one Rich.

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Thanks, Kim.

[@malachizarathustra7301]

Imagine Quawi in MMA. Built for wrestling with head movement reflexes toughness and power

[@slickrick8872]

Great vid Rich, can we see a Mike McCalum next please?

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

McCallum will be a ways away but I'll get to him.

[@MPR-xv7ey]

I love how Qawi would use the jab even as a shorter fighter 🥊

[@johnjamele]

did Qawi use an oversized gumshield, or did he smile through his fights? You can always see his gumshield during his fights.

[@hugopacheco3575]

He smiled. He really enjoyed what he was doing. And it can also be quite unnerving for the opponent.

[@eranliber5993]

It'd be marvelous! And my name ain't hagler 😂

[@diegorubio5116]

Can you please do a documentary on Juan Zurita?

[@RaulGarcia-jq9dz]

Rich once again good job put off the track a little bit my son and I were talking about a dream matchup we would like to know your opinion about this know what you think Winky Wright versus James Toney what do you think about the outcome of this fight outcome of that fight thank you keep up the good work

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

Thanks, Raul. I think you asked me that before or someone else did. I have a prepared Toney over Wright but it wouldn't be easy.

[@RaulGarcia-jq9dz]

@@RichtheFightHistorian Thank you Rich for responding really appreciate it but I believe I asked you about Tommy Hearns versus Oscar de la Hoya but that's an interesting answer thank you for your Insight once again keep up the good work I really dig your Channel

[@leeinoregon1326]

Thanks, Rich. After 3 rounds, Michael Sphinx "thinks" he one round even. The judge that scored the fight in favor of Davis was either blind or on the take.

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

My pleasure, Lee.

[@nobbytang]

Dwight was the best 5 foot 7 inch fighter ever …..magnificent

[@Bankai_Musashi1]

Duran......

[@TechnoLawyer]

What was up with that 5-4-1 card? What fight was that judge watching? 🤨

[@blackjaguarlord]

Kah-WEE, not Quah-WEE, Rich.

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

No, there is a variant in the pronunciation.

[@blackjaguarlord]

@RichtheFightHistorian that's not how HE pronounces it. If there's no u after the Q, the Q is pronounced as a hard C or K.

[@RichtheFightHistorian]

​@@blackjaguarlord Everyone pronounced that way, particularly when he first made the name change. This isn't something to be pedantic about.

[@TheMick126]

Please do Jesse James leija azumah Nelson
