    How does the diminutive Camden Buzzsaw fare in a 12-round contest against former heavyweight champion Tommy Burns and former Top-5-ranked heavy, Mickey Walker?

    I have a very very high opinion of Braxton. Higher than most probably
    I would take Braxton over both. His jab and defense being the deciding factor 4 me

    Don’t even get into how he fares against them in resume terms!

    These guys were all time pound for pound greats!

    I think Qawi would beat JJ himself at his best...he would plow through a guy like Burns.

    What do you see as Qawi's most pertinent competitive advantages and disadvantages in these matchups?

    Great though Qawi was, he basically only fought one way, and in forward gear.

    In both of these matchups he is going to be coming on to guys who routinely wrecked heavyweights, who were very systematic at picking opponents apart.

    They would both create a carefully prepared killing ground for him to walk into.

    That is why I am inclined to pick against him here.

    You don't think, you just make picks in line with your loyalties!

    Qawi was very highly skilled and crafty though. He came forward but didn't take much punishment at all because he was deceptively slick, quick, and elusive. Regularly outjabbed and outpunched bigger men. I don't see any reason to think he'd have a harder time against guys his own size.

    These are guys his size who wrecked world class heavyweights, sometimes for easy money!

    I am sure that he was deceptively slick, but these might be the cases where deceptively slick doesn’t cut it!

    To flip the argument round, what do you see in him apart from the era that he fought in, to suggest that he would win these fights?

    Just out of curiosity, what exactly are these esteemed heavyweights that Burns routinely wrecked named?
