    George, because his chin would hold up, and Shavers definately wouldn't.

    would have to go for George....if he comes in well conditioned i cannot see him losing this hypothetical match up.....shavers had a hell of a punch, but his stamina was questionable if the fight lasted, and his chin wasnt as reliable as foremans

    Foreman KO's Shavers.

    If Shavers is lucky to nail George early on, he might have a puncher's chance, but like Everlast says, Shavers had endurance problems.

    Shavers was the hardest puncher-Heavyweight fighter of all time, but George is the most brutal puncher-Heavyweight fighter of all time.

    Foreman within a minute of the first round.. Shavers hugely overrated. Foreman an incredible badass.

    Foreman would have to get very sloppy early on to lose this fight. No disrespect to Shavers, who is a very underrated fighter, but Foreman should win this by KO.

    Lmao. Evidently Curtis Lowe and I see two different Shavers: one hugely overrated and one very underrated. Maybe Shavers is well-rated after all.

    I don't think he's either. Fact is he had a sledge-hammer for a fist.

    Foreman in a brutal Norton type of KO.
     
  11. foreman by early and brutal ko, foreman would crack the weak chin of shavers. if ron lyle knocked him out, foreman would destroy him, foreman was stronger than lyle,harder puncher,heavier and he had better chin.

    Big George liked those Second Round Knock-Outs.
