    There aren't too many harder shots than the uppercut Joshua landed in the eleventh. That was immense.

    Immense, yes, but not the hardest shots in the history of boxing.

    I disagree. Shavers hit harder than Foreman and Holyfield said Foreman hit harder than Tyson. Shavers is the hardest hitting heavy to ever live.

    It doesn't matter anyway. Tyson, Louis, Dempsey, Marciano, and maybe even Joshua(depending on how he does with the rest of the division) were/are all waaaay better punchers than Shavers which is what matters.

    They were good punches for sure, but historical...? No

    Yeah that uppercut AJ landed was so devastating that Wlad didn't go down. Yet Corrie Sanders knocked out a prime Wlad in 4 minutes. Weird. The right that Wlad landed was so powerful that Ross Purrity got hit over and over by that same punch and was never remotely hurt. Strange.

    Did you face Shavers or Foreman? Wait you didn't? So you don't know who hit harder. Holmes said Butterbean hit harder than Tyson or Shavers. So we are going to take the word of a fighter now?

    Marciano is a 180 pounds. He wasn't a heavyweight and I don't see why you morons keep saying he was a harder puncher than a modern heavyweight. What 6'6 250 pound modern size heavyweight did Marciano ever fight? Wait he knocked out glass chin 160 pound Archie Moore. Yeah I guess that proves Marciano hits harder than modern 220 plus heavyweights.

    I got all of my data from people who faced him. Your argument is null and void.

    [url]http://www.boxinginsider.com/history/larry-holmes-the-champ-speaks/[/url]

    "Charles Jay: WAS EARNIE SHAVERS THE BEST PUNCHER YOU EVER FOUGHT?

    Larry Holmes: Earnie Shavers was indeed the hardest puncher I ever fought, because he hit me with a right hand that jarred my ancestors in Africa, if you want to take a page from Ali’s book."

    No. Marciano is 185-190 lbs at his best weight.

    Archie Moore wasn't 160 lbs. You're lying and you know it.

    What 5'10 185 lbr did Joshua ever fight?

    Roidquez's roided right hand was the hardest punch ever thrown and landed.

    No, he isn't.

    True. Harder punchers as well.

    The men who fought both Shavers and Foreman all disagree with you.

    This makes no sense. I can just say the exact same thing to you.

    Your argument for the overrated Shavers is what his opponents have to say about him. My argument is based on common sense and the eye test. 210lbs crude slow unjuiced borderline heavyweight who never knocked anyone unconscious in his life vs 250lbs roid monster with huge explosiveness that separates fighters' heads from their shoulders. Pretty obvious who hits harder unless you're utterly blind or a terminal nostalgic.
