    ...or because of his punching power.
    Even though Weaver is often underrated, i think Tua is a missmatch for him. Could be similar to Tua - Ruiz...or Weaver - Dokes.

    Bad matchup for Weaver who likes to mix things up and lacks the jab and ring IQ to frustrate Tua. You don't beat Tua by going toe to toe and certainly not if you have a shaky chin and leaky defense.

    Weaver always had a shaky chin and especially early. A fast starting Tua would wreck him.

    Tua get overrated but i agree with the above. A really bad matchup for Mike.
