    Shavers had more a gas tank problem, IMO. I see him weather Morrison's power and this being a short fire fight. And against anyone who could keep up with this feet (everybody but Old George) Tommy got hit. Bad things happen when you're chinny and get hit by Earnie.

    I got Earnie winning this one. By KO. Before the end of the 4th.

    You’re welcome to reduce these two down to Stallings and Purrity.

    And you brought up loses. Certainly Shavers losing to Stallings solved this question, much more than Morrison losing to Bentt ever could. This thing is over.

    Sarcasm can’t save you this time dude, you brought up the resume, this is how they stack up, deal with it. You are really not as smart as you think you are.

    I already told you that you won by bringing up Stallings, but you don't seem to accept. Surely you could imagine Morrison winning six rounds against Ali and almost flattening Holmes.

    Shavers could definitely catch him and KO him but if Morrison can avoid big shots early and box him then Shavers as he always did runs out of gas and Morrison stops him. Morrison is the better fighter just he only has an average chin and Shavers one of hardest punchers ever up to era he fought. I ll pick Tommy 8 or 9th round tko.

    Listen, I might be a simple boy from Alabama, conceived in a very small minority of toilet seat pregnancies, and raised to be a staunch Carthaginian Huguenot Adventist. But I say if this one doesn't go the distance, it's gonna end in a KO or a foul or No Decision contest.
