What can you guys tell me about him i never saw him but i know he was a really short guy 5'7, and holyfield fought a war with him. But besides those things i don't know much about that guy what can you guys tell me about him?

Very Agressive little joker, beat up Saad Muhammad pretty bad, punked out against Spinks.

One of the best LHW of all time. Reminded me of Joe Frazier.

Had a fight of the year war with Evander Holyfield in 1986. 15 Rds split dec for Holyfield. They had a rematch the following year but the first encounter had taken everything away from Quawi.
Dwight eventually moved to heavyweight. Beat some bums, lost to some bums, eventually Big Geoarge creamed him and finished him off. Great Lightheavy and crusierweight champ!

Qawi (Dwight Braxton) was a damn good light heavy. He should be in any conversation about top Light heavies. He was overshadowed by Spinks and gets forgotten. He was a tireless worker in his day. Very tough and with a huge heart. If you've only seen the Qawi that was a fat heavyweight, you haven't seen the real Qawi. He also was a damn good cruiser and fought Holy to a standstill in their classic first bout.

degenerate gambler's note: Spinks-Braxton was the first fight I ever bet on. My dad put a 10 spot on Braxton for me. ( I was underage) It was a foreshadowing for my gambling future it seems. I bet on Braxton to win a decision.. :mad:
