    Larry Holmes had no right to get back up after that right hand from Earnie Shavers.
    There wasn't many hit harder than Shavers and that was a full on blow.

    I seem to recall holmes saying the punch hit him that hard it practically knocked him out but his head hitting the canvas woke him up. Seeing that kd he's lucky he wasn't out for a week!

    Leonard v hearns 1.
    And leonard came to close for comfort for hearns in the rematch when he had Tommy in trouble in the last round.

    You're right Fergy, you just wonder what these fella's are made of.
    It's not as though Earnie was feather fisted!

    Not by a long shot mate. Holmes had a pretty good set of whiskers and I can name quite a few heavy s that would have been out cold with that punch. Amazing recuperative power s of the man stopped shavers from winning the belt that day.
