Is Dwight Quawi one of the best defensive boxers ever ?

I don't think so.

Not really IMO, he was very adept at fighting small and making himself a small target which I suppose he had to be being a 5”5 guy up at Cruiserweight.

It's actually "Qawi", without the "u". I'm being picky because he was my first real boxing hero when I was 17. He was still Dwight Braxton then...

Not really.

But he was very good defensively for an aggressive fighter.

Much like Roberto Duran just obviously no where near as good.

He was another one trick pony who used tons of illegal skills.

Look at his head and then Holyfield's waist line. No legal surface to hit.

IMO, no. He's good, but not one of the best.
