    Haven't a clue about the guy on the left. The guy on the right looks a bit like Murad Muhammad though, although I don't think it is.

    That's a nice picture of Weaver, by the way.

    I think he's underplayed here a bit, really. I know I brought that up once and was shot down by a couple people, but he proved his worth, and his longevity in the division was equalled or bettered only by Holmes for the era.

    I am a big Weaver fan, too. A hard hitting and entertaining fighter, to be sure.

    The man could fight. His fight with Tate was pretty good.

    Have no idea who those guys are i have never seen them before?

    That pic looks like it was taken a very long time ago, Weaver looks really young and judging by the clothes jewelry etc, it was probably taken in the mid to late 70"s

    Always liked Weaver, he wasn't arrogant and ****y like Holmes, he couldn't box like Holmes but he wasnt an ******* like Holmes either...

    Mike was badass, but there is no way Dokes should've taken his girlfriend from him, LOL!

    Weaver is one of the 80's heavyweights that got the most of their talent.

    good catch Cuchulain ....Weaver was always exciting, I can only imagine how good he would have been if carefully moved, strong jab and powerful 2-fisted puncher...exciting Heavyweight and conditioned
