What was Mike Weaver's strength and weakness?
I would please like to know what was the strength and weakness of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Mike Weaver in a specific details.
These are the main ones that come to mind when thinking of Mike Weaver:
Strenghts:
1 punch KO power in both hands
Underrated boxing skills
Tough
Fought best vs. better fighters
Weaknesses:
Hot & Cold fighter
Chin (in accordance with above weakness)
Ocasional lack of motivation
In other words, he could be pretty good, especially after he won the WBA strap and had the experience to go along with those stenghts.
On the other hand, when he showed up in that other mode he looked like a shot fighter, not a skilled veteran.
I feel he was one of the better heavies of the 1980s. His run up until about mid 1980 was good, then he fell off somewhat. So did the rest of the division bar the addition of Tyson.
