Tyson was the reigning world heavyweight boxing champion when this bout took place. I don't think he and Foreman ever fought each other, but my guess is Iron Mike would've been way too much for George Foreman to handle. I think Foreman would've been knocked out in the early rounds.

[@paschan]

@@shikat2371 That's true. But Big George a class act.

[@japsley6172]

@@shikat2371 well maybe. Remember this was relatively early on in George’s comeback after a TEN YEAR layoff! The fact that George went on to knock Michael Moorer out cold with one punch, to regain the heavyweight title, at 45 years old, after such a lay off, puts Foreman in a class of his own. Iron mike at his best against the Foreman that destroyed Joe Frazier and Ken Norton (who both had beaten Ali) would be a tough one to call. I have bias because I was young when Foreman was around, so I would back him. IMO it’s not really possible to make a definitive call when you compare the best versions of Mike and George, or Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Joe Louis, the Klitschkos, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Jack Johnson and now Tyson Fury (yes he is beginning to line up with these guys). One can make a case on his best day for any of these guys! Who did it the most consistently, over a long period, against top opposition might give a points version of the best, but styles make fights and any one of the mentioned guys would have a chance against anyone on their best day.

@@garychapman4294 Yeah i remember when he said that. Well i don't know how a person feels, and when they lose weight, but to me he looked faster, seemed to have better stamina, and also seemed to fight better. I noticed he looked good in the Cooney fight as, well, and a few of his earlier comeback fights that i saw. But by the time he fought Holyfield he looked every bit his age, and then some. He also looked, and fought terribly in the Morrison, Stewart, and Moorer fights. I don't know. I think he should have stayed at the lower weight. Maybe he could have gotten use to it. Big George just loved eating, as his mother once said in an interview, "One whole chicken won't do it." Then they showed a clip of George talking about his love for burgers, hotdogs, and making another trip or two back to fast food places, and being embarrassed about it, when they see coming through the door.

Qawi twice the boxer George was!

[@Nico-yn1vg]

You can see something very different in Foremans punches. They are not fast, snappy, flashy athletic looking punches. They look more like a tree log connecting and driving straight through something. Heavy handed and solid. The wrecking ball is connected to a giant crane as opposed to a forklift. There's a huge difference when it connects. Wilders power does not seem grounded like Foremans. Wilders seems to come from speed whereas Foremans comes from a thick solid base, heavy arms and hands, dense bone structure, and drive through. Like a heavy battering ram hitting a hollow core door. 🤣

God has certainly blessed Big George Forman . I snuck passed the line for one of his fights in Sparks NV in 1990 I believe . Was up there on a business trip and couldn't pass up the opportunity to play hooky and go see George . I just walked in through the adjoining double doors and soon was in the large room that had a training ring or maybe it was the actual boxing ring but that detail I can't remember . Do remember knowing every answer to all his questions he asked the crowd of over 500 people . He would pick someone out who raised their hands to answer his question and if they got it right he would throw them a t-shirt . I raised my hand up but so did the guy sitting next to me and George looked right at us said stand up , I wasn't sure if he picked me or the other guy but the other guy stood up first . I should have just stood up quicker , all he could have said was hey not you the other guy instead or something like that . The guy answered incorrectly so George turned to someone else and they answered correctly . Oh well serves me right for being a sneak and not paying 5 or 10 bucks to wait in line or whatever it was . Did meet the 140lb title challenger Diabalo Hurtado ? probably butchered his name , anyway I talked to him and said he was going to win and be the new champion . He did win and I had a laugh with my dad about it . Good memories , thanks for the video and keep them coming !

Another thing is his height isn't the issue here, if you added on that much weight to 6ft 3 Callum Smith it will have the same issue, both bodies natural state is a lower weight it isn't his height that is the problem. Also he was closer to 190 for the past 4 years and that's 190 at weigh in, probably closer to 205lbs and judging by the two weeks notice he was probably a lot closer to 222lbs than 185lbs, off season so wouldn't be that much of a leap

[@doseloverstar4991]

@@darrenjames7901 just read Qawi's memory of the fight. He took it on 2 1/2weeks notice for 50 large. Was 30 pds overweight and depressed. Went for the gusto on a liquid diet to come down to 222. Boxers fight for the change. 50 grand for 10 rounds. Not bad. Anyway Qawi is my Man. Love George as well however not many looked that good against Foreman in any Era and Qawi for a 35 year Old Warrior looked very good until exhaustion got him. Jmo

Big George was my favorite fighter but this guy Qawi I never heard of but I am a fan now. He fought hard in had a nice style!

[@bobd1515]

If memory serves me, Dwight Braxton was a light heavyweight early in his career. He was a much better fighter at that weight.

[@milojanis4901]

I agree. I do not remember Qawi/Braxton as a MW......

[@melvinsims5379]

@@milojanis4901 You are dead wrong. Dwight never fought as a middleweight. You're mixing him up with his younger brother Tony. An understandable mistake. At least you didn't use one of your gibberish words this time. 👍

@Melvin Sims Wake up!!! I said he never fought at MW!! WTF are you smoking? No gibberish, if you even know the definition, which you obviously don't. 🙄 Most know that by 3rd grade at the latest. What school were you supposed to go to, but never did?!!

Watching Foreman take some big hits, then just push the guy like it was nothing. King

Still amazing to see the undisputed heavyweight champion Joe Frazier being tossed around the ring by Foreman in the first match.

[@quintonluster6594]

Foreman should have been disqualified for pushing. If it wasn't for the referee allowing him to push off a lot, Foreman would have got the hell best outta him. 😂

Qawi was a tough little badger.

[@yriyahyriyah30s]

Great job! The short guy hung around 8 rounds and big guys can’t even do 4 with Foreman.

I believe Qawi took this fight on 2 weeks notice. Tough hill to climb. Did his job. Never was appreciated for his skill set. I always loved him. 1 of Boxings Best Muhammad Qawi

Foreman gave a very fair and honest post-fight analysis.

[@CJCrump]

It was a knockdown in the sixth round, and the referee didn't call it?

[@cygnusprime6728]

One of the most bizarre fights of either man's career. Weird but had some entertaining moments like the fake knock down.

[@ederfonseca9609]

3:03 - That bomb on Dwitght's kidney was unbearable. One of the most vicious body shots I've ever seen. Props on Qawi for still standing on his feet, but in fact the fight ended in that moment. He got badly hurt.

[@brolickscholar3083]

BRUTAL!!!

[@augustseptember3503]

This fight was similar to the fights George had with Joe Frazier. George was relaxed throughout those quick and easy fights as he was here, almost lazy, so casual.

[@gwmba1989]

Qawi hit George with everything but the kitchen sink and then just walked away and quit. I thought he was landing the more effective punches and was out boxing George until he quit. Disappointing!

[@colorado2455]

Try taking a punch from foreman.

[@Scientists_dont_lie]

I think the size difference eventually got to him. 5foot7 heavyweight?!?!? Im impressed he didnso well.

[@gwmba1989]

@@Scientists_dont_lie I'm not sure if it was the size difference or the fact that Foreman's punches were just too hurtful for Qawi. A lot of people just could not stand up to Foreman's blows and were knocked out very early, but Qawi managed to last till round seven and as far as I was concerned, was actually winning the fight before he decided to opt out of the action.

Lucky for everybody who ever got in the ring with George, the he is not a nasty man, because if he was, not many of them would have walked out. Always a pleasure to watch one of the very Greats.

[@ra-ge]

The 'old' mean machine George Forman, I like the this smarter version of George, here he's not only super powerful but smart and that's a lethal combination.

[@neuroplasticity]

Qawi is a beast. Fought someone so much bigger and didn't get knocked out. Incredible. Foreman really is a gentle giant.

[@erikthewise3439]

Bro George Foreman was a damn TANK. Powerful patient and persistent. Especially considering the amount of clean hard shots Muhammed clipped Foreman with throughout the bout. To be a cruiserweight, Muhammed showed great defensive prowess at times, with phenomenal head movement. Overall, great match!

[@marcpopick6684]

I happen to think the older Foreman was better in some ways than the younger. Because now he was more patient and pace himself better. Maybe even punch harder since he had more weight behind his punches as well.
