    Tyson finished him due to a great combination.

    Holmes had an excellent chin, close to Ali's level. Earnie said that was the hardest shot he landed. Few HWs coild have witrhstood this shot flush & not having rolled with it.

    Shavers was not a great finisher, Holmes a great survivor.

    In his 50's, lol! Yes shavers was actually ONE HUMDRED & 57 years old in that fight.

    Too bad he did not start boxing until over 7 score years old.
