    I think he doesn't have a prayer against Joshua (even after Ruiz-I, I just can't picture it) but has a better than 50-50 shot against Wilder.

    Chances are, Shavers ends up being stopped by both. That's how it should go... But I'f we factor in AJ losing to Ruiz and Wilder getting destroyed by Fury, then there's always a chance.
    Big Ern came close against Holmes, if he wallop s either man with a shot like that!.. then it's potential lights out.

    He came close 1 round against holmes. Lost the rest. Watch their first bout and then think about Earnie in matchups.
