    It is better to give than to receive. Shavers could give a punch, put he couldn't take one as well. Foreman could do both. Shavers does not see the end of the third.

    I think Foreman would win by KO, however, I sometimes wonder if Foreman had the world's best chin. Never mind, Foreman wins in under 4 rounds, hopefully.

    Does anyone have footage of this fight? YouTube perhaps?

    Foreman KO 1. Bad, bad style matchup for Earnie.

    I honestly think Foreman would blow Shavers away. Shavers at best can hurt/drop Foreman early but I'm not sure if he could pull off a Lyle like performance. Even if he did, Foreman was tough and would keep ploughing away until he got the victory. If someone gets into a tough fight with George they need to be able to box a bit to see it through to the end plus they need to be tough and elite.
