    Everything that needs to be said about this match has already been said.

    Jerry "Holyfield Lite" Quarry knocked Shavers out in a round. Shavers isn't going to do any better against the 20 pounds heavier, indestructible, tough-skinned, vastly stronger, roided, mauling 90s version of Quarry.

    If he wants to, Evander can straight up outslug Shavers.

    Ernie definitely could get the job done if he landed his best.

    But he would be a huge underdog, probably failing to take Evander the distance.
