    Sanders by a KO in 1. He would quickly overwhelm Shavers.

    Shavers easily. Rahman destroyed this talentless,glass- chinned,featherfisted bum Sanders.
    Shavers was faster than the slow,lumbering Corrie.
    Every decent fighter beat Sanders.Sanders could beat jokes or below average fighters like wladimir klitschko only.

    Sanders isn't overrated here.Only the klitschko fans praise him.This isn't an objective
    thing.This behaviour is a logical outcome.

    Sanders hand speed was much faster than Shavers' handspeed. Shavers wasn't exactly a mobile heavyweight either so no advantage there.
    Shavers also had a glass chin. I believe Corrie would get to him early with his blazing left hook and knock him out cold.

    I agree 100%.
    The GOAT Sugar Nikolai Valuev would destroy both these fools. :smoke

    Should be a poll. I lean towards Sanders but he had off moments.

    Bump.

    Still stand by my earlier post, but lean more towards it being a 50/50 'whoever lands 1st' kind of fight. Only favor Sanders lightly due to his superior hand speed.

    Sanders. In addition to power, he has the x factor that he could box well for 12 in his prime.

    This about sums it up for me. Sanders has my vote, barring of course a lucky bomb landed by Earnie

    I'll take Sanders. Bigger, faster, more accurate, probably the better chin. Shavers always has a chance with that freakish power of his, but barring surprises, Corrie should do it. Shavers had 17 losses, not all to stellar opposition.
