    39 of Shavers fights were against fighters without a winning record.

    What ? You're using Satterfield, Sheppard and Nino as power comparisons to Ernie Shavers? Shut'er down now, geez!

    Did I compare them to shavers or were they referred to as hitters? Reading comprehension is important.

    Curtis shepard weighed 198 pounds and bob satterfield 175 when fought moore. No of them was a hw. And hardly comparable with the power of shavers

    Being 200 lbs means that he was a heavyweight. Shavers weighed in 205-215 range in his best fights, mostly below 210 lbs. What an enormous difference, Sheppard can't be compared to Shavers!

    Besides, what footage do we have from Sheppard to compare his power based on eye test?

    What the hell are you talking about. Shavers did not weight 205 pounds in his prime what a joke. Anyway sheppard is not in the top 10 hardest punchers and shavers is the 1 so no debate. End of history

    Shavers was:
    211 lbs vs Ali
    210 lbs vs Holmes
    210 lbs vs Williams
    206 lbs vs Lyle

    So I was actually wrong, 215 lbs is too much for him.
