Prime Mike Weaver vs Trevor Berbick

Post by scorpio83 »

Who would win the fight between the two conquerors of Big John Tate? A boxer-puncher Mike Weaver who fought like a heavyweight version of Matthew Saad Muhammad that earn him the WBA Heavyweight title or an awkward brawler like Trevor Berbick who had a chin and earn the WBC Heavyweight Title?

A close matchup. I guess, Berbick could be more crafty, than Weaver, so I'd pick Trevor to win by a decision.

Mike was at least just as tough as Berbick, and had the stronger punch, even though Berbick may have been stronger. I think that Weaver may have been the slight ly better fighter, and I will go with him to win by a 13th round KO.

Mike was the most inconsistent heavyweight champion in history.
Absolutely loved watching him and have had a few conversations with him. Fantastic human being.
I do not know who to pick but I'd lean towards Berbick.

Not sure I can choose a winner. Both were tough, faced similar opponents with similar success. Had decent power and the ability to go the distance as well. I guess it just depends on who’s more on their game on any given evening

That is a good debate between the two underrated heavyweights as both men were tough and could brawl. This was a 50/50 fight between the former WBA Heavyweight Champion Mike Weaver and former WBC Heavyweight Champion Trevor Berbick. :TU:
