    Shavers as well as the others mentioned in addition to guys like Cooney and Cleveland Williams could really hit although not great fighters.

    bummy , wells did not fight stevenson, it was bobick that he flattened. Although wells should have been the US rep in the 72 games to fight the cuban but a cut suffered at the team hotel was reopened during the fight and THE REF STOPPED THE FIGHT . WELLS ALTHOUGH WAS WINNING THE FIGHT ON THE CARDS AND HAD SHATTERED BOBICKS NOSE.
