    Sometimes Weaver took a long time to really let his hands go, like in the Coatzee fight. He was also a little vulnerable to being stopped, being knocked out multiple times. Bonavena wasn't a devastating hitter but he did have good power and applied non stop pressure. Weaver is taller and probably can match him in raw strength with his huge muscles, but how do you see these factors playing out in the match?

    I think you're completely right about Weaver but I am going to say this is the best version, a focused, trained and warmed up .. otherwise he could lose to any of the other guys too

    I like Weaver overall, but you can make good cases for others. Even Briggs with his height advantage could take it
