    Not sure if this fight was done but Qwai had a similar style but possibly slicker defense but you be the judge Qwai had a compact career where he was one of the best against top notch competition in arguably the best LTH era where Moore had an extended career...15 rds who wins?

    Moore by decision. Qawi is a fantastic fighter but Moore is pinnacle level. He'd have too much power and timing for Qawi to get overly aggressive and his guile would seal the deal from there.

    Qwai, wasn't that the fantastic kickboxer from Thailand?
    In kickboxing I'll go with Qwai, if they're just using their fists Moore would win.

    Braxton was a very aggressive counter puncher with a superb defense.
    Moore though was very crafty and would counter Braxton traps.
    In a fight for the purists Moore on a close but unanimous dec.

    Holyfield says Qawi had the best defence of anyone he faced,very close tough fight.I give a slight edge to Moore by decision.

    Tough matchup and tough call, I'd have to go with Archie, though slightly. Could see the buzzsaw doing damage but Archie had pop in his right hand

    I would be very confident Braxton takes 1 out of 3

    Qawi is overrated. Moore would take him out.

    Archie beats Dwight, too much experience.

    Moore on points or late stoppage in a traffic fight.

    I know Archie Moore was very good, not sure about this Qwai fella.

    Is there any footage of him?
