This one's been done so many times. Unless Earnie lands the luckiest punch of his life, George wrecks him in one.
Despite his famous, shattering power, Shavers was actually a really poor finisher. If he tagged an opponent and the guy was still on his feet Earnie would lose the head and start swinging for the fences. George had a terrific chin in both his careers so I don't see Shavers sparking him. Earnie had really static feet. This generated his power but meant he was anchored to the canvass when he missed. Sometime in the first 3 rounds Earnie's going to miss and George is going to flatten him.
I honestly can't believe it is a question. A guy who held the lineal championship in BOTH of heavyweight boxing's golden ages against a guy who was knocked out by Stan Johnson, Ron Stander, and beaten by Bob Stallings. I am going to disagree with Vince Voltage: Shavers could land his luckiest of lucky punches and it would not make the slightest difference. There is no scenario barring Foreman having a massive heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm in which Shavers could win.
Shavers for me foreman was good but Shaveres for me had more heart He ended up on the doors of liverpool night clubs for a short time Nice fella but could be a Scary dude im lead to believe
