Shavers had freakish power but Donald was nearly a stone heavier than Earnie. Donald ultra defensive style would mean that Shavers would be unlikely be able to land cleanly his vaunted right hand. Donald on pts.
Looks like Holmes #1 fight for Earnie and he chases the guy around the ring but cannot set his feet to throw and land. Gets jabbed in the meantime and drops a wide decision.
I'm going to go with Shavers here. Donald could box, but lacked mental toughness. Against Kirk Johnson, once Donald felt Kirk's power, he rarely threw anything more than jabs the entire fight and lost a decision. I could see a similar situation. Kirk feeling Shaver's power and going into survival mode, jabbing and running the entire night while Shavers outworks him. Shaver's by decision.
Donald UD. Donald not only had the fastest legs since maybe Ali, but he also had a top chin and a pretty good and long jab.
Shavers aint cracking this chin, donald had an unbelievable chin - bowe sucker punched him with one two bareknuckle combo and donald didn't even flinch lol I think donald could take a decision
