    It’s already been 40 years since the greatest cruiserweight fight took place between Evander Holyfield and Dwight Muhammad Qawi in a 15 round battle of brutal action.

    I thought it was very close. I had it for Holyfield by a point.

    One judge having it 12-3 for Holyfield was hometown cooking.
