    3 heavyweight specimens. Shavers vs Weaver and Williams. Can Shavers go 2-0? All in their prime.

    He could have gone 2-0 and just as easily gone 0-2. This is a discussion featuring 3 very erratic and unpredictable fighters.

    I'll take Weaver over Shavers, and Shavers over Williams.

    He loses to both imo. Both are better boxers, more well-rounded, and more consistent fighters.

    This. You can't predict an outcome with fighters like this.

    I actually think Weaver could come out on top

    Sure he could. Just like the others. He could go 2-0 and he could go 0-2.

    Or 1-1, haha.

    Least likely is 1-0-1 but even that would be possible (especially if Weaver got blitzed early, weathered the storm and was still around to pick up some late rounds to catch up on the cards).

    I'd pick Shavers over Weaver and Williams over Shavers so he goes 1-1-0

    Shavers and Williams have all the makings of a war
