      Yes he was . I remember on writer describing mike thus. Horse's sweat, people perspire, mike weaver glows. He was one of the most well sculpted fighter's the game has seen.

                Weaver was the best among the first four WBA champions post-Ali, Tate, Coetzee and Dokes.

                    "I never lifted weights in my prime, but I did a lot of squats and a whole lot of push-ups; around 500 a day."
