    Shavers hit much harder.

    Neither man had a good chin.

    I'd go with Shavers.

    I think that Ray migth have taken a punch better, but I cant make a confident pick.

    That is not the same thing as being KOd by him in a boxing match.

    I'm aware of that, I would however suggest that if you, a large heavyweight have been ko'd by a middleweight, your chin is definitely not top drawer .

    All kinds of strange things have happened in sparring.

    You either have a good chin or you don't.

    This coming from the guy who said sparring is sparring?

    Classic.

    My point is a poster picking Ray based on the premise that his chin was better than Shavers.
    Being embarrassed/made to look bad in a spar is one thing, a 6'2 200lbs heavyweight being sparked out by a small middleweight is another and suggests chin issues.

    Try and keep up.

    Pure nonsense and more lies.

    Your response:

    Okolie is 50 lbs lighter than Joshua. Burley was 30-40 lbs lighter than Ray.

    Try and keep up.

    Where have I lied? I asked you for verification that Joshua was knocked out , you didn't provide any. I get that you don't like me ,[as if I give a good f*ck what you think,] but try and have a valid point to criticize.
    Burley was a smallish middleweight and he didn't just floor Ray he knocked him out! Spot the difference ,numb nuts?
