		Dwight Muhammad Qawi, on the other hand, didn’t need to talk about himself; he embodied the 'bad intentions' moniker in the early-to-mid-1980s, when he tore through the light heavy and cruiserweight divisions and earned himself a soon-to-be-honoured Hall of Fame career.
		Qawi made the much bigger Holyfield miss huge clusters of shots – often up to seven punches at a time – and typically countered on the inside with accurate, damaging flurries.
		Qawi’s career faded away after that night and he became a shadow of his former self, losing a rematch to Holyfield and eventually getting knocked out by George Foreman, a fight taken on a mere two weeks notice that Qawi was ill-prepared for.

		Muhammad Ali was my hero, there's no doubt about that.
		Watching those guys on TV was different for me, I was a street fighter, I didn't go to the gym I was outside fighting people, I didn't know anything about boxing and didn't care anything about it at the time.

	UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THE LEGENDARY DWIGHT MUHAMMAD QAWI-BlackAthlete Sports Network
		In case you haven't figured it out by now, the subject of my interview is none other than Dwight Muhammad Qawi, and we took the time to discuss his career and what he's doing now.
		QAWI: Well, see, what happened was I had a car but it was an older one.
		QAWI: If I could do it all again, and I don't want to call anyone's names or gossip or slander anyone, but I would have kept my team together; we had a tight bunch and for some reason I screwed it up.

	George Foreman
		Nevertheless, Foreman went on to defend his title successfully twice during this reign, his first defense, in Tokyo against Puerto Rican Heavyweight champion Jose Roman lasted only 50 seconds, the fastest ever for a world Heavyweight championship bout.
		Around this time, Foreman was widely considered to be the most physically empowered specimen and hardest hitter in the history of the sport (in fact, the only man to ever match his power after was Earnie Shavers, who nevertheless wasn't as physically strong as Foreman was).
		He won four more bouts that year, and in 1988, he won nine, including a seven round knockout against former world Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight champion Dwight Muhammad Qawi.
