Tucker by decision or late round stoppage after out-boxing Weaver behind his jabs and quick hands.

Tony gets caught by a Mike Weaver hook in the 3rd round, gets staggered, and knows the best course of action is to stay outside and box him. Tucker by strong decision.

That would be a great strategy had it happened.

I think Tony had strong boxing ability, but outside of Tyson, never really faced anyone of strong power in his peak. Don't know if I would include Broad, who's power was good at best.

Douglas had decent power. Anyway, Weaver's power wouldn't be crucial in the Tucker bout, cause Mike won't deliver his best shots, as Tucker would successfully impose his own game on Weaver. I see it as a wide dec with the possible late stoppage for Tucker.
