    I know Qawi said he copied Frazier but damn looks more like Marciano then Frazier to me not as aggressive or strong but same crouch same shoulder roll better defensively. But lacked the other tools

    Both were great fighters. Qwai was better defensively but he was also not fighting much bigger men with one eye. Joe without question the better puncher. I favor Joe h2h and in any comparison based on accomplishments and handicaps.

    Doesn't box like Frazier or Marciano. Braxton had a style all his own. He wasnt even built like Frazier which is another comparison people make. Frazier was all thighs while Braxton was all chest.

    Many people think of Qawi as a minituare Frazier, but Dwight was more of an aggressive counter-pouncher, than Joe who liked to brawl more.

    I agree with the consensus, not many similarities. Qawi outjabbed much taller men, was better defensively, threw combos using both hands........Joe may or may not have been greater, but very different.
