What punches stick in your mind where a fighter has taken them and carried on,Holmes shavers sticks in my mind
Yup. I think he would have let a guy shoot him that night so long as he could keep the fight going. Surely that was Lennox best shot of his career
I will always remember this one. I can remember Earnie giving an interview many years after the fight about his tussle with Holmes. "I trained so hard for that fight, like no other. The punch I put Larry down with was the hardest one I ever threw. When it connected, the feeling went through all my bones on the right side of my body like a sort of shock through my joints. Larry was down and I went to a neutral corner thinking I was the new champ. When I turned round and saw Larry climbing off the canvas, I thought to myself, Ah well, I might as well get myself showered and back home to the family. He has been a great champion" Good old Earnie. A proud and honest man.
I still have no idea how he stayed on his feet. Can you imagine what that punch would have done to Wlad?:think
Another one I remember is Tillis vs Shavers. Although Earnie lost, he decked him, and all but took Quick's head off at one time in the fight.
Imagine what that punch would have done to David Price or Audley Harrison Or better yet Amir Khan atsch
