    The 2 hardest punching heavyweights ever. Who would have won if they fought?

    Foreman every day of the week. We all know george could take some bombs and keep coming after you, shavers theoreically could beat anyone but he probably only hit slightly harder than foreman in the first place.

    Shavers had a glass chin and got knocked out by quary, quary probably had half foremans power.

    Foreman k.o. round 1

    "I never fought Ernie Shavers thank god"

    George Foreman

    We would of course have to favor Foreman based on quality, and durability, but there might just be a live underdog in this fight.

    Shavers by 1st round knockout courtesy of an overhand right. Foreman would be in control right up to the point he get stretched.

    9 out of 10 times Foreman will take it and will happen early, Every once in a while in some crazy universe Shavers takes the lands the overhand right that ends it all.

    Foreman very early. Shavers may get lucky and tag George, stunning him. But foreman s comeback punches drop shavers enough time s for the ref to jump in. Foreman wrsc 2

    Shavers dips to throw. When he dips an uppercut is on the way. And earie is not good enough defensivly to deal with both left and right uppercuts from George

    Foreman knocks Shavers out in 1-2, be realistic here. Both had great punching power, but Foreman bigger, stronger of the two, with better chin.

    George Foreman decisively. Worst case scenario is Foreman walks into something and he gets floored. The winner by KO...this does not go to a decision.

    I think Foreman had the chin to get up.....but, that left hook Shavers put Lyle down with came at an unlucky time for Shavers, but a lucky time for Lyle. Right at the end of the round. Beginning or middle of the round, Shavers may have stopped Lyle. If Shavers decks Foreman at the right time and sufficiently buzzes him so that he's ripe for the taking.

    But the most likely scenario is that Foreman lands the kill shot first.
