Charley Weinert

Weinert either won or forced a draw is his first 31 fights. He fought Gunboat Smith to a draw, then in a rematch won by newspaper decision.

The Newark Evening Star, on December 30, 1913, following his victory over Tommy Madden:

Of all the "white hopes" I have seen, outside, perhaps, of Gunboat Smith, Weinert looks to be easily the best of the lot. ... From what he has been showing in the ring, Weinert with a year or so of age and fifteen pounds, say, of weight, has one grand chance to become the greatest heavyweight pugilist that has ever grazed the prize ring.^[3]

In 1914 and 1915, Weinert twice fought for the World Light-Heavyweight Championship and was twice defeated by Jack Dillon.^[4]

Weinert fought most major heavyweights in his era including: Gene Tunney, Harry Greb, Luis Angel Firpo, Jack Sharkey, Battling Levinsky, Billy Miske and Fred Fulton.
