Ellis wuz at bestz too on strong fun of career :u forgetz he beatz all goatz bunger in 2! 2! better win than anything tyson had dun .If ind more. tyson all elbow, shavers real power, from the black ****, u know what I mean.
c , i even forgot bugner cuz he doesn't mean much 2 me , shavers killed him . shavers possibly was a harder clean puncher than tyson , cuz of that BBC , i agree that elbows r harder than punches with a wrapped padded gloved fist , no doubt , they also have more pressure per area because of d mentioned reasons here .
bugner died in ringz: shaverz hit dat hard. bugner replaced by actor burt reynolds in future bouts..why record started to suck than. stillz, frank bruno's best win no doubt: shavers bbc is key to punching power..also max baer's power. elbows r harder than fist but depends on person, shaverz elbow iz harder than tysons elbow but shavers didn't need to use the elbow cauze he hit that hard, u know what i : mean.
Shavers had a harder right hand than Foreman but didn't have as good a left or uppercut as Foreman. Shavers had a lesser chin than Big George also. Ali and Norton said Shavers hit harder I think in part because at the time,no one liked George. Foreman was a dick back then and Shavers was always a sweet guy. They didnt want to give credit to George. Anyway,Ali also said in his autobiography that George had him out on his feet with a awkward glancing punch so...that speaks for itself. Shavers would lose to Foreman by KO3
Victories over young, norton, ellis and ali paint a pretty good picture but he lost far too often in his prime against varying styles. George and Joe push his **** in.
First time I heard of Earnie Shavers, December 1970, on the Ali - Bonavena undercard at Madison Square Garden. A 200 lb. Earnie, with hair, versus one Herman 'Bunky' Akins. Akins came in from the west coast with a bit of a write-up. He was undefeated in 17 fights, and won all by knock-out. He was labeled as 'Herman the Monster', for clubbing fighters to the canvas. The Dark Detroyer blasted out Akins in the first round.
I love Joe Frazier but Id have to say that Ernie would have a good chance at catching Joe in the first two rounds with something devastating. Frazier was there to be hit and he was a slow starter. If the bell rings for the 3rd round Frazier win IMO.
what did he do 2b labeled as such ? i never heard or read anything about him saying / doing anything dicky .
Earnie didn't even get respect from Ring Magazine Top 10 Annual Ratings 1972 1973, #6 1974 1975, #6 1976 1977, #6 1978 1979, #5 In 1978, Ring Magazine had rated Alfredo Evangilista, Ossie Ocassio and Domingo D'Elia all above Earnie. That is one of the reasons why that Magazine was clueless.
