Shavers v the top 5 heavies today how would he have fared?

I think Wilder is the only one he'd have a better than 50-50 chance of beating. With the other guys he's just not slick enough to get inside.

 

Fury v Shavers :Fury wins unanimous decision.

AJ v Shavers :Joshua has to pull himself up off the floor to stop him in 11.
Wilder v Shavers: An exciting fight with Wilder been rocked to his boots by Shavers several times before stopping him in the last round .

 

I see 0 guys in the top 5 that I think he would beat, and in the top 10 there are only 2 that I would favor him in.
8 Kownacki
10 Pulev
And maybe 9 Miller (I don’t think we/I know enough about him yet) 50-50

I think he stands a chance against Ortiz, Parker and Whyte but I wouldn’t pick him

I just don’t think he would beat any of the top guys?

 

I'd say Shavers axes Ortiz into next week, if Shavers rocks Wilder , he ko's him. Fury outboxes Ernie ,The Shavers that went 15 against Ali ain't an easy out for anyone

 

does earnie really go 11 and 12 with aj and wilder?

 

I'd say he possibly could /would.He took Larry the distance and then took 11 in the rematch.

Well, he went 15 with Muhammed Ali

 

Shavers would have starched that glass jawed joke Wilder.

 

Holmes during his title run had a good stoppage ratio. If you and and have a look at his prime fights you will see he didn't just back-peddle behind the jab, in fact he planted his feet often. As Zakman (i think) often says, he set up his pitchers mound. Yes he did fight more cautious against Shavers but that decision was a no brainer. It doesn't reflect the rest of his prime.
