Enough of the B.S. Best rounds, biggest HW puncher etc.

Watch Earnie Shavers, then try to tell me who had some of the best knock outs, hit the hardest. Watch Ali vs Shavers in the 15 round. Tell me Shavers couldn't box, didn't have stamina and a solid chin. Just try to tell me this B.S. I dare ya.

I agree that Shavers is probably has the hardest punch in boxing history

 

Shavers is up there, but quality of opposition should matter too.

 

Think Shavers looked sloppy as hell as well in that video.

 

Quality of opposition? You gotta be frickin kiddin me!

 

It was the 15th round against one of the greatest boxers in history for god's sake!

WTF is this doing on page two? This is the thread of the year? :twisted: No, the century! :happy

 

The 70's heavies would've walked through today's heavyweight division without breaking a sweat. The bros are probably the only fighters that would be competition out of the current heavyweights.

 

Who let the dogs out:adminI have that fight on tape. It's a good one.

 

I agree. This is why I never got on the Tyson band wagon. I use to watch him and think. Lyle, Shavers, Ali, and Foreman would have killed this kid.
Hell, I am not so certain Frazier would not have stopped him.
