Shavers hit the hardest but his accuracy sucked, if he had jack blackburn as trainer he would have been one of the best.
Shavers. Certain people make the mistake and mix the accuracy or technique with Punching Power. I guarantee you in a direct power comparison Shavers wins, have no doubt about it.
I can't get why people are talking so much about some physical power. Yeah, you need to deliver this power properly, preferably with good setup, proper timing and placement. I had watched Ali vs Shaver fight. Unlike in A.J vs Ruiz II fight, where I was surprised how predictable Ruiz legs movement was, damn, this was fascinating. While Ali vs Shavers fight predictable were also his punches, not only movement in the ring. This then should be measured with tools. Someone did this? Pure punch power is thing like in weight lifting how much you are able to lift up, measurable.
Years ago the OP asked, Who you got in terms of punching power between Earnie Shavers and Wladimir Klitschko when Wlad was till active. Then he gave a quick review mentioning the "Golden Era" parroted by sentimentalists and other not so nice "ists". He closes w/ My vote go to Earnie Shavers. The 2nd post is: Shavers. Close thread. Well the thread has lived on. The obvious answer is Wlad K. He's just a bigger HW who also was a big puncher. In Wlads era he fought and stopped - with some 10 counts - much bigger HWs than Shavers usually faced. There is no comparison, except a few cherry picked exceptions. Shavers might have been the hardest puncher in his era. Nothing more or less. Yes this is only about Shavers punching power and not as an overall boxer. But let's be clear - The Acorn was not only stopped in r1 by CW Quarry but by the crude Ron Stander. Quarry & Stander wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell vs. Wlad or many other modern HWs. Shavers was an exciting fighter, getting a KO or stopped himself. But due to faulty reasons he's still overrated here in H2H vs. modern HWs. Shavers, with his glass jaw and fair to middling engine, would not be competitive vs. good 2000s era HWs.
Wlad was 39 y.o lazy rich man when fight vs Fury had happened. Wlad never had fought vs Lennox and Vitali never ever had ran from Lennox, Lennox retired after fight vs bad overrated in your eyes Vitali cos Lewis was DUCK with Duck belt. DUCK KING Lewis piece of s************* and nobody for me. Bear in your brains that Ali was walking boxing corpse when he was 38 y.o vs Holmes. LOL.
Whenever Wlad got beat Vitali stepped up to challenge his conqueror . Where was Wlad when a barely 80% fit Lennox TKO-6 Vitali ?? He ran for the hills lol
Stop posting garbage. There was no overlap between Shavers and Klitschko's era. They both did not face the same opposition so we cannot compare. You are ******ed. Lewis retired so how could anyone fight him after Vitali?
did ted fight in other eras cause if he didnt what is it your going off of it's not 70s no more so how can you say what another man said you go off of video not what a man said
yea so thats real dumb then to go off of what a person said in the 70s it's been boxers after that who have hit harder its shown on vid it's like alot of people here are crazy oh ali and larry said it doesn't matter what any man said when they didnt fight in other eras when those names didnt fight people who was athletic and heavy like a lennox who was more skilled then anybody back then
Wladimir has KO'd larger SHWs although this one in particular has only 1 KO loss and it's to Shavers so that is impressive
