Anthony Joshua vs. Earnie Shavers, prime

AJ s chin probably wouldn't stand up to Shaver's hardest shots.
I'll go with Shaver's KO 6-8 rounds

 

AJ is a significantly better boxer than Shavers was. He hits hard too and Shavers didn't have a good chin himself. I'm taking AJ by early stoppage.

 

AJ clears the following 70s guys; Quarry, Patterson, Norton, Shavers, Young, Mathis, Bonavena, Chuvalo… basically all the guys not named Holmes, Ali and Frazier.

 

He may have a slip up around the way tho. And probably would lose to Foreman.

 

In a “real” career yeah he picks up losses like everybody else, it’d be a good bout with GF 50-50ish not as much dog in him as Lyle but he’s no worse, a lot better really.

 

Oh come on, he couldn't clear Dubois or Ruiz. He'd find a way to lose one

 

Both men had a lot of power and neither were great at taking it on the chin. But Joshua in my opinion was a better boxer and had the advantages of height reach and probably stamina. I think it’s likely that he gets to Earnie first and finishes him.

 

Shavers defeated the elite fighter Norton and would have no problem beating the average fighter Joshua...

 

Shavers by KO. If Joshua boxes him, he could win, but I do not think he would

 

Anthony literally kills him

 

AJ stops him 5 times out of 6.

The 6th time he gets put to sleep.

 

The only right answer

 

Agree 100%.

 

One post above yours I answered this, prime for prime he smashes in a “real” career he finds a way to lose.
