    Shavers could go on the bicycle himself as shown against Henry Clark in their first fight, but he was of course far better at finishing off his opponents inside the first three rounds.

    It would have to be the absolute best version of Tommy for him to stand any chance at all. Shavers by maybe one of the most violent one punch KOs ever seen. Guaranteed fireworks this one.

    Ali and Lyle says Shavers hit harder than Foreman
    Holmes says Shavers hit harder than Tyson...

    Shavers hits harder than Foreman and Tyson, I'm gonna have to pick him against Morrison.

    Outside a shot and already chinny Norton, who is the best fighter he KO'd?

    I don't care how hard he hit, he couldn't finish elite fighters, and Morrison at his best was elite.

    I can not see Morrison overcoming Shavers power. Earnie could get hurt and staggered and dropped and stopped and he was shaky at times but he could hit with both hands. Shavers did not have the best chin but it was better than Tommy's ...I have seen Morrison shaky in many fights and although Earnie was also shaky...I like him here
     

  8. ali can talk ****, the facts are foreman knocked lyle out but lyle took the blows of shavers.
     
  9. well, you never even watched the fight, lewis did stop morrison by cuts. so stops to talk nonsense... shavers was destroyed by anyone, shavers had a glass chin, stander, quarry,lyle.... and mercer was better boxer than shavers was ever and he had iron chin , the hitting power is not all.

    Morrison got bounced like a basketball by Lewis.

    Shavers was a good finisher in the early rounds, until gassing out.

    yeah the fight got stopped on cuts. Morrison still got knocked around though badly.
    Sure shavers got beat a lot, bur he definitely got matched up with harder fighters at the point of his career.
    Stander, Lyle, and quarry took many many punches to put him down. it wasn't like Morrison, who got knocked down very easy.
    Yeah, mercer boxed better then shavers... what's your point.. there's no way that mercer even attempted to box against Morrison. and yeah it's clear he has an iron chin. if mercer can stun Tommy with one right Hans then so can shavers, only it would take JUST ONE.

    Sure Ali can talk ****. but he's still more credible then you.
    Lyle's punch resistence was probably damaged after the shavers fight, simple as that.
    and foreman was always a better fighter then shavers, so that's partically why foreman beat Lyle.

    it's not just hitting power like you said.
