    I don't really understand physics that well but I do understand one concept: The lower your center of gravity, the more harder you punch. Shavers was like six inch closerest to the ground. He could had more torque and more leg strength and hip strength in on his punches and sit down on em more closer to the ground. So the force looses lest the more further out it goe from the foot on up to the tip of the knuckle of your fist.

    Shavers Right hand was Legendary....George Foreman fought in an possibly the greatest era of all time and with over 70 Fights he said "No one punches harder than Shavers he shook me to my bones"

    Then why come even put it in there? Laughable to use words like that. But I mean what is it for when it's still science? What's wrong with what I said if it's scientific?

    Huh? Foreman never fought Shavers, nor sparred with him, nor named him among the hardest punchers he ever faced (Lyle, Cooney & Williams).
    So man, virtually all who faced Shavers, labeled him the hardest puncher.
    But where did you get this false belief about Foreman?

    More good-natured trolling & pretend idiocy from the "fake short school bus Special man", B.E.!

    Nice work on the Idiocracy allusion by the way.

    This forum used to be packed to the gills with posters hyping up the Golden Era Heavyweights. It's calmed down a lot and people are starting to see logic. There were herds of folks who were baffled by the Klitschko's and considered them an anomaly in what would soon again be a US dominated division.

    The idea that Earnie Shavers could punch through a brick wall and that Vlad K. was a glass jawed bum ruling over the weakest era ever, ever, ever, was more common than not here a decade ago.

    To be fair you're replying to a 4 year old post and the Kudryashov that fought Romanov recently is obviously a spent force.
