You need to log in to see the weights and details. Sometimes they're not available. Sometimes the weights are wrong or fudged a pound or 2. Of course they don't guarantee historical accuracy and I've seen them change the stats if they find an error. They had Eric Morel listed as a southpaw for a long time. They gave Gene Tunney 2 losses for a while, but changed those errors.

Often the height or reach is fudged an inch or 2. For instance, Joe Louis was generally listed at 6'1" and NOT 6'2". In fact I met him several times and I saw him as 6'1" the same height as Sonny Liston, a bigger man. In the 50's and 60's Liston's reach was generally listed as 81" ... now they're making it 84" very freaky for a man his height... It seems that a lot of the legends, their stats expand with time.
