Frank Bruno Vs Earnie Shavers - Can We Say Frank Has A Great Chance Of winning?

No Earnie Starches him in round four

 

Yes he’d have a good chance

 

Of course he could. Shavers is too one dimensional and limited

 

We could say the same about many boxers.

 

Neither Tyson or Lewis hit as hard as Earnie although both were not short on power.Poor old Frank wouldn`t know what hit him.
Merry Xmas to you too Fergy hope you are enjoying a few drinks with your family

 

Bruno could slip and get knocked out, yes, but generally I'd favor him over Earnie.

 

We have to look at the flipside as well - Frank hit damn hard and Shavers was hardly granite chinned himself. So there's also the question of how The Acorn stands up to Frank.

 

The Earnie that fought Holmes might favour big against Bruno. Past prime Shavers has an underrated chin, he took clean shots from devastating puncher such as Jeff Sims and Bernardo Mercado and was not knocked out. Although he was knocked out by Lyle, He didn't wobble all over the ring like a drunk man but insted showed some good display of chin. I have Shavers on this one.

 

Mercado still stopped him. Mercado stopped him immediately after the Holmes fight and Cobb who was never a puncher stopped him two fights later. Jeff Sims never stopped anyone even quarter decent in his life.

You fail to mention Quarry who belted Earnie, who was coming off the best win of his career out inside 1 round.

I don't think i'd argue with either choice in this one. Both proved fragile against the best of the division and the odd guy that hung in there with them.
