    Both at their best. Who would you choose?

    A good match up ,would be a mini war .Giving the edge to Weaver ..if he can get past the first round!
    I don't see it going past 5 and both men are getting hurt. A weaver hook has Williams doing the Bambi walk before he puts him out and down

    This comes down to who has the better chin

    I reckon Weaver takes it better than Williams ,unless he catches Mike Early as Dokes did .

    Williams should start fast like he did vs Liston. Some of those shots he backed Liston up with may have gotten Weaver out of there.

    Could go either way with two big sluggers. I'd lean towards Mike Weaver. I think he was a little more resilent. I saw him comeback after being hurt to KO guys. IDK that Williams did that.

    Maybe. That seems to be his best chance. Weaver could be sluggish early but his power was genuine.

    I like Weaver too. Once he warmed up he was bad news.

    That's what I was thinking, the Cleveland that attacked Sonny would have gotten Weaver outta there.

    If Williams starts fast he gets Weaver out of there early, however the longer the fight goes, then Weaver's chances get better.

    I agree
    I agree with this 100% Williams either takes Weaver out early or Weaver beats him late.

    Weaver was almost comatose in the early rds . This fight could well end up like Michael Bentt vs Tommy Morrison or Corrie Sanders vs Klitschko. If the Big Cat pounces early like he did against Liston then we can add another fight to the list. Big Cat tko one.

    There was another fella named Williams tried the same thing ( jumped on Weaver early) there was a snafu along the way. That's the
    Truth and dont call me Carl.
