39. Dwight Muhammad Qawi
Qawi’s career was marked by grit and determination. In December 1981, he claimed the WBC light heavyweight title by defeating Matthew Saad Muhammad in a 10th-round stoppage. He solidified his dominance by defeating Saad again eight months later. After a loss to Michael Spinks in 1983, Qawi moved up to cruiserweight, capturing the WBA title in 1985 by defeating Piet Crous. His epic 15-round battle with Evander Holyfield in 1986 remains a classic.
