Who would win this clash of two of the shortest ever Lightheavyweight world champions.... Tiger was very underrated... very strong with excellent stamina and a great chin in Braxton/Quawi he'd meet someone even shorter than him with a simular style... Braxton has possibly the edge in speed and was a little younger while Tiger was the 'cuter' fighter with perhaps superior stamina. A great fight this I think and I edge towards Tiger winning a tremendous fight by narrow decision...
.....all opinions welcome!... 8) 8) 8)

FYI, among recent LHW champs, Montell Griffin was as short as Braxton/Qawi. Rather different style, though. ;)silkov wrote:Who would win this clash of two of the shortest ever Lightheavyweight world champions...
Alas, haven't seen enough footage of Tiger to comment intelligently on your hypothetical matchup.

Neither fighter had great KO power and both guys had very good chins. So this matchup would be a battle of attrition where Tiger's superior conditioning would give him the edge IMO. At lightheavyweight Tiger also would have the edge in experience having already been the middleweight champion whereas Braxton kind of appeared out of nowhere.
btw - This may not be an entirely objective view as Tiger was one of my favorite fighters when I was growing up.
