Shavers was one of the first boxers to use weights in his training routine. His upper body was massivebut he neglected the legs. His muscularity was reported to have caused him a stamina issue.

The first boxer to use weights PROPERLY for boxing scientifically was in fact Michael Spinks. There were boxers who used weights primatively well before Shavers and all of them sucked badly the same as he did.
Weights ALWAYS affects stamina, it is one of the worst things for ring stamina and is why boxers who lift weights now periodize.
Shavers looked like crap, body and style. Ridiculous figure.
