    Quarry took him out at 2:17 round one, give or take a few seconds. In Shavers defense his other KO losses were due to exhaustion and being hurt.

    Ok thx.

    But there is no "defense" for him. He was a very good guy but highly overrated when you compare him to Ali, Formeman, Frazier, but also to other guys like Holmes, Tyson, Liston, Holyfield, Lewis or even the Klitschko brothers. I doubt he would have been favorite against anyone i just mentioned.

    He was never on the level of a legend or dominator. His punching power yes, but not his overall package as a fighter.
    Still ppl compare him with Ali, Foreman and Frazier.

    If they fought 100 times, Shavers would end up a vegetable 1/10th of the way through...

    The poll has it 100% in Tyson's favour and the poll is 100% right. Short night's work for Tyson.

    When the HELL does he get compared to Ali, Foreman, and Frazier and in what terms?

    Shavers always has that puncher's chance.

    Tyson early and brutally. This would make Shavers' KO losses to Lyle and Quarry look downright peaceful!
