    Folks,

    Who do you like in a time machine--Shavers or Smith??? Lets say we have Earnie Shavers from 1977 against the 1986 version of Bonecrusher Smith in the ring ready to square off against each other...... Now, Shavers is about 6' 1" tall and 211 pounds, while Smith is 6' 4" tall and nearly 240 pounds.....

    To start things off, I'll be bold and pick James Smith by 7th round KO over Earnie Shavers..... However, I can also envision a stinky hugging affair that labors into a 10 rd. borefest, as well..... Who knows???

    MR.BILL:bbb:deal

    I guess the decision with "Berto-Collazo" has nobody giving a damn about dream fights at the moment? I thought this was a goodie..... Hells bells.......

    I have "Cobb-Shavers" rolling from '80 for review...... I love this fight...... Sloppy, yet thrilling......

    Both fighters have great power but a suspect chin. For me it's a toss up.

    I hear, dat......... BUT! I gotta give Bones Smith the slight edge over Shavers based on his size......... Bones Smith seemingly can handle smaller dudes who can punch........ Bones Smith handled Mike Weaver 2 X...... I also think Smith's chin was better, as well........
    :good

    No thread can be heated without the words Pacquiao, Mayweather or Steroids in around here,

    You should have put:

    Pacquiao and Mayweather take Steroids while snorting coke out of a hookers snatch as the thread, then explained your point afterwards
