To Wouter: Fix Dwight Muhammad Qawi's actual height

[scorpio83]

Hello Wouter,

First of all, thanks for fixing Bob Satterfield's height from 6'2" which was not to 5'10", which was his actual height. Anyways, for Dwight Muhammad Qawi, I admired the legend who won both the WBC Light Heavyweight title and WBA Cruiserweight title despite being short which we all know, but he could buzzsaw his taller opponents with his effective jabs and body punching to cut them down to size. However, you list Qawi at 5'5 1/2", which I don't believe that he was shorter than between 5'6" to 5'7" after watching his fights from the tale of the tape and we know that he didn't stood at 5'8". When I watched both fights between Qawi and Matthew Saad Muhammad, Qawi looked about 5 to 4 and a half inches shorter than Saad Muhammad and I watched their staredown closer in their rematch when I paused it than Qawi wasn't 6 inches shorter than Saad Muhammad, but Qawi stood about 5 to 4 and a half inches shorter like I state it earlier. Here are both fights of Dwight Muhammad Qawi and Matthew Saad Muhammad.

If anyone think Qawi stood 5'5 1/2 (166 cm), then they were thinking of the current Qawi in his retirement where he might have a back problem that caused his height to shrink down. Most of the sources like the old Cyber Boxing Zone list Qawi at 5'6 1/2" (169 cm), which I believe was his actual height and back in their face to face buildup of their rematch, Saad Muhammad stood 5 or 4 and a half inches taller than Qawi. Also, look at the tale of the tape between Dwight Muhammad Qawi and Michael Spinks, who was 8 inches taller than Qawi at 6'2 1/2 to 5'6 1/2" Qawi, which were the correct height. Here's the fight between Qawi and Michael Spinks.

If you take a look at those three fights, could you please fix and change Qawi's height from 5'5 1/2" to the actual and correct height at 5'6" 1/2"?

Wouter, you probably too busy not to see my subject that I wrote days ago. I've already asked you if you please change Qawi's height from 5'5 1/2 (166 cm) to 5'6 1/2(169 cm) after I wrote and show the videos that Qawi actually stood 5'6 1/2" (169 cm), who was 5 of 4 and a half inches shorter than Matthew Saad Muhammad.

I read an old interview with Qawi's trainer and he did, in fact, state that Qawi is 5'6.5" and not 5'7" as he was being listed at the time. The interview was in a Philadelphia newspaper and was from the early 1980's. As for Matthew Saad Muhammad's height, that's a different subject and I'll just say that I've seen him listed anywhere from 5'10" to 6'1.5" .

Thanks Goose for noticing and getting the source from Qawi's trainer that he actually stood 5'6 1/2" and now I need Wouter to fix his height for 5'6 1/2 (169 cm) if he can get his message. For his rival Matthew Saad Muhammad, most tale of his tapes that was shown in his fights kept showing that he's 5'11" and it stays that way.

Not to be facetious, but are we talking natural height or with boxing shoes on ?

I added an inch to his height. I also remember him as being listed as 5' 6 1/2.

Either way whatever you saw.

Thanks Wouter and I appreciate it. Btw, please fix Qawi's actual height from his boxrec bio at 169 cm too. Thanks again.
