Who had the better resume at Cruiserweight? Carlos DeLeon or Dwight Muhammad Qawi?

Post by scorpio83 »

Both Carlos DeLeon and Dwight Muhammad Qawi were great at cruiserweight as DeLeon won the WBC Cruiserweight title 4 times while Qawi the WBA Cruiserweight Title and they both fought Evander Holyfield. In my opinion, I think DeLeon would out-boxed Qawi to avoid getting hit hard to take a decision in 15 rounds. What is your opinion?

Well DeLeon was at the weight most of his career so you could say he had the better resume, but I have no doubt that the Qawi that battered Leon Spinks would wreck any version of Deleon without much trouble.

That is a good debate right there about the possible outcome between them had they fought back in the day. :TU:

An overall resume seems to be better for DeLeon. However, in an actual fight I'd probably see Qawi more likely to win. Qawi was a bit more of a class and toughness
