Artur Beterbiev vs prime Earnie Shavers

Because I feel Shavers would be far more dangerous to those heavyweights due to his reach, I mentioned Joyce because you listed him as a heavyweight that Usyk fought and I mentioned Dubois because Joyce out-jabbed Dubois which is something Beterbiev could not do, he also couldn`t go toe to toe with a powerful heavyweight like Dubois compared to Shavers who could have.

 

Holmes did destroy Shavers beating him twice, and winning virtually every round. By todays standards Shavers is in fact a small-medium sized cruiserweight. There are guys currently fighting at cruiser significantly bigger than Shavers.

I don't see Beterbiev getting whacked out by Stander and Quarry like Shavers did

 

Look how small Earnie Shavers is here. Granted, he is not as big as he used to be due to old age, bad posture etc but he's still dwarfed by the likes of Lennox, Douglas and even Holyfield who have also aged.

He wouldn't dwarf Beterbiev. He would be a regular sized (rehydrated) cruiserweight at most today. Yes, his power was awesome but he lacked in most other things.

Holmes w backing off v Shavers who had a longer reach than Usyk does that`s why he coulght a fading Ali so much.

 

Usyk recovered from his knockdown from Beterbiev instantly then punched him back, there`s no way the right hand that flooerd Holmes weren`t more devastating that that shot or any shot Beterbiev has been hit with.

 

Ruiz had bad punch mechanics he would never have floored Holmes, it`s not always about size.

 

I think I'll probably...................... probably going to go with the guy who went the distance in shaking Ali's ancestors and nearly took Larry Holmes head clean off

 

Ali was shot and lost to Leon Spinks in his very next fight. How is that supposed to be impressive on Shavers part? Beterbiev might well beat that version of Ali.

I think Shavers loss to Quarry is maybe more relevant because he got blown out by a guy around Beterbiev's size who is likely not as good as Beterbiev.

 

Quarry went toe to toe with Frazier who would have torn Beterbiev apart he`s never been in the ring with anything like Joe, all those hard hooks constanly coming.

 

Frazier is so over rated man.

 

Despite the majority of the people thinking this will be a mismatch it really isn't, Beterbiev can be hit and hes been hurt and floored. Callum Johnson floored Beterbiev heavily and had him on shaky legs, Yarde also hurt him numerous times.

Shavers is by far the biggest puncher Beterbiev has ever fought, and whilst I do favour Beterviev i think Shavers is definitely a live threat.

 

Frazier and Liston kill Beterbiev and he goes nowhere near dropping either of them.

 

You’re a moron.
