Dwight Muhammad Qawi Vs. Leon Spinks – “The Camden Buzzsaw” At His Meanest

July 2, 2020July 2, 2020 by James Slater | Leave a comment

Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Leon Spinks - Dwight Muhamamd Qawi was at his best, his most relentless, his most effective, as a light-heavyweight, yet Qawi, all 5'7" of him, was also a darn fine cruiserweight. The man born Dwight Braxton could be as mean as a junkyard dog as a 190 pounder (this the 1980s limit for the cruiserweight division). A veritable freak of nature of a fighter, taking on and defeating the best at 175, 190 and even having a go up at heavyweight, the short, thick-set Qawi, reach just 71-inches, had a rock for a chin, a defence that was just as solid, a deceptive defence with plenty of subtle moves at his disposal, fine counter-punching skills, and seemingly limitless stamina.
