“Big” Toney would absolutely wreck Earnie Shavers

I don't know if anybody remembers this but Shavers had stamina issues that made 'young' Foreman look like Marciano. He fought Ali close and that automatically makes him better than he was because Ali is 'the greatest' and he proved it by beating the dangerous Earnie Shavers. Now, Shavers hit hard, especially with his right hand, and that was because he brought it from down home and got his weight way over his left leg.
At some point, and anybody that has seen Toney fight knows this is true, Shavers is going to throw that home run good night right. And miss. And he is going to get countered with a right hand that he has just turned into and doesn't see coming. He may well survive that, but he wasn't known for his chin.

 

He would but then the drug tests would come back and the fight would be ruled a No Contest.

 

Toney was in awe of the crude, clubbing Samuel Peter's punching power and said he was the hardest hitter he faced.

If Toney got nailed by Shavers, he would be more shocked than a kid sticking a fork in an outlet. If you consider that and how much he struggled with the somewhat similar Rahman, I don't see Toney pulling this off. Shavers doesn't need to outbox Toney, he just has to make him as uncomfortable as possible using his absurd power, looping shots, and body battering to make the black Pillsbury doughboy turn purple. Shavers will be hitting shoulders, chest, neck, whatever is available and it's going to hurt like hell making Toney hesitate and hide in his Philly shell.

 

Don't reply to me unless you're ready to name any fighter other than Joe Louis who was considered to have a good chin, good balance, yet had 10 knockdowns in 7 fights with 2 KO losses

 

Shavers had the potential to go further than Samuel.
Against Toney at least.

 

Well Shavers did manage to beat cagey defensive fighters such as Young or the cautious Bugner. Out of all the old school sluggers, he's got a pretty good shot here.

 

Another one of these?

 

Yes, and while it seems Young might’ve been robbed of decision in the Shavers rematch (an official draw) it shouldn’t be over sighted that Earnie still managed to drop Jimmy hard again in the 4th round of their second fight - no mean feat to do it once but Earnie turned the less likely trick twice, the second time against a more seasoned Young.

 

No, what's stupid is you never managing to answer direct questions and then wondering why people don't like you. You fundamentally don't know how to carry a simple conversation or debate, and you waste time on purpose.
