As the sun rises over Santa Monica Beach, Troy Weaver can often be seen walking the boardwalk outside prestigious hotels like Casa Del Mar and Shutters on the Beach. His role is to ensure hotel guests remain undisturbed by the local homeless population that has become a part of the area's scenery. With his commanding presence and quiet intensity, it’s clear that anyone considering trouble would be making a significant error. This presence stems from a rich history in boxing. Troy, along with his brothers Floyd and Lloyd, known as the Weaver triplets, are set to be honored in the National Boxing Hall of Fame on April 27, 2025. Their unique place in boxing history is marked by their aggressive styles and knockout power, each carving out a distinct legacy in different weight classes.
Born on January 27, 1964, in Pomona, the Weaver triplets built reputations for their relentless approach in the ring. Floyd, nicknamed “Pretty Boy,” competed as a junior middleweight, accumulating a record of 17 wins and 8 losses, with 13 knockouts. Lloyd, or “Lightning Lloyd,” fought as a middleweight, finishing with 11 victories (7 by KO) and 6 losses. Troy, known as “Too Tough Troy,” entered the light heavyweight division, amassing an impressive 20 wins, all by knockout, before retiring with a 15-7 record. One of their most memorable moments occurred on June 23, 2001, when all three fought on the same card at the Lucky Eagle Casino in Washington. Floyd won by decision, Troy secured a third-round knockout, and although Lloyd suffered a loss, the night solidified their status as a rare sibling trio competing at a high level in professional boxing.
Their achievements extend beyond the ring. The Weavers briefly ventured into Hollywood, appearing as triplet clones in a 1989 episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Although their acting career was short-lived, their boxing legacy continued to grow. Now, they will join some of the sport’s biggest names in the NBHOF Class of 2025, which includes former world champions such as Amir Khan, Herman Montes, Jackie Nava, Larry Holmes, and Mikey Garcia. Bill Dempsey Young, president of the Hall of Fame, praised the Weaver brothers as "valid, hard-hitting, main-event quality action fighters" whose contributions deserve recognition.
Troy’s confidence, honed in the boxing ring, continues to serve him well on the streets of Santa Monica. Whether facing opponents under the bright lights or ensuring peace on the boardwalk, he remains a formidable force—one of three brothers whose story now finds its rightful place in boxing history. The induction into the National Boxing Hall of Fame marks not only a personal triumph but also a celebration of their enduring impact on the sport.
