    Earnie Shavers who challenged Holmes in September 1979

    v

    Ezzard Charles who defeated Louis in September 1950

    15 rounds for the world's heavyweight championship.

    If Earnie hits Ezzard with the same ensemble that he landed on Holmes in 79', he wins by knockout. If not then its a long night for Shavers.
