Very, very tough question. Not taking anything away from Roy, I just have so much respect for the tenacity that Dwight put out in every fight, I just don't see even the master boxer that Roy was, pot shotting Qawi the way he did much lesser opponents at light heavy. Qawi I think would be just too overwhelming for Jones and probably wilt the once great lightheavy in the late rounds.
Qawi gave Holyfield everything and more to only lose by a hair in a very close a tough fight.
Also based on level of competition. Qawi by TKO.
Roy, even at 175, is still HELL(He was at his absolute best at 168). Forget the Roy Jones after Ruiz, people tend to think that's him at his best when they forgot that he moved up to Heavyweight, then drop over 20lbs of solid muscle to make the Light Heavyweight limit. That takes A LOT out of a boxer. Qawi, on the other hand is one tough Son of a B**** who shouldn't be underestimated by his small size for a Light Heavyweight standing only 5'5. For some rounds, Qawi would trouble Roy with his swarming but for most of the fight, Roy out boxes his ears off with his lightning fast speed and unorthodox style. Roy by Unanimous Decision.
Roy Jones Jr.
Jones was superior to Qawi in every respect, at his peak Jones would have pitched a shut out and won an easy decision.
qawi was a talented fighter, but i'd give the edge to jones jr. close ud.
I could see Roy possibly beating Dwight, but could Dwight get inside, and floor Roy.Who wins this battle at 175?
