    And if somebody's rendered unconscious, what difference does it make how hard he was hit, as long as he was Beaned solidly enough? (Now, who do you suppose looked most like Mr. Clean? Beanfart, old George, Shavers, Hagler, or the Frazier of the Foreman rematch? And can you hear how loud those collective groans from the rest of the forum are getting at these gawd awful puns? We could both wind up getting banned if the mods take notice:p.)

    Sincerely,

    Deen-Bean-Clean-Dung-Dead

    I wouldn't worry about us getting REEMED for things that should have been DEEMED as not being what they SEEMED. I think Bean Fart would have had to lose an aweful lot of weight before he looked like Mr. Clean. Frazier in his later years sort of reminded me of the blue thing from the Disney movie Alladin. Foreman was a bit more like a chinese Budda.

    At anyrate,

    enjoy your Saturday night DEEN.

    :patschNext, we'll be using a thesaurus to cheat on these.
    Yeah, he looks more like the Michelin Man, Pillsbury Doughboy, or King Kong Bundy. (Long lost twins, perhaps?)
    Well, I now have some idea of what my dreams are going to look like tonight.
    And you as well, Bloss Man.:bowdown

    Sometime certain fighter can land punches that others can not Jersey Joe Walcott was one of them, Page had a weird right hand that could catch you hard when he was fit, while other fighters telegraph

    Absolutely, and the knockdown Snipes scored on Holmes has been described as an example of that. Until that moment, Renaldo never looked like he could crack an egg, as big and impressive as his physique was. Even Eddie Mustafa Muhammad never took a backward step against him. Yet, after Holmes repelled his challenge, Snipes was also able to drop Berbick in round one. Only the lethal punching Tyson and Mercado, at their very best, were ever able to do anything like that to Berbick.

    Hence, my emphasis on wide consensus of opinion from common opponents of Shavers, as measured against his record. What Page did to LeDoux might be argued as an isolated incident, but what Shavers did repeatedly, and was so frequently reported as doing by those he hit, can't be so conveniently dismissed. Yes, when Holmes says Shavers hit him harder than Tyson did, I absolutely believe him, because of the overwhelming preponderance of correlating evidence and testimony.

    Although endurance, a great chin and defensive skill are always desirable traits in a boxer, the fact that Shavers had none of these advantages, while Lyle, Foreman, Tyson, Weaver, or Norton all had at least one or more of these qualities, also hints strongly at the supremacy of Earnie's power. (Norton had endurance, George had a chin, Weaver had both, Lyle had skill and some endurance, Tyson still showed a good chin against Lennox, but Shavers usually had none of those advantages.)

    Certainly to floor Berbick was an acheivment he had a very good chin. I thought the punch that Snipes dropped Holmes with looked very impressive,holmes could be caught with right hands ,but had phenomenal powers of recuperation,who can forget that Shavers right hand? Larry getting up and stamping his foot ,trying to get some feeling in it!

    Like everybody else, I couldn't believe what I was seeing when Snipes toppled Larry to the deck. When Shavers and Snipes dropped him, one word flashed through my mind watching the way Holmes crashed down:

    "Timbeerrrrrrrr!"

    Quarry was tough,and wins over Shavers, Foster,Bodell,Lyle etc were impressive.But I watched the Chuvalo fight,Jerry didn't look good then getting counted out against Chuvalo.Never seen the fight since,but i still remember George,when Quarry said it wasn't that good of a punch.Chuvalo standing right there,said{if he couldn't tell nine from ten it musta been a good punch}.Make no mistake Foreman would anhilate Quarry.

    Yes, because LeDoux was almost certainly telling the truth. HOWEVER, just because Page hit LeDoux harder in their fight than anyone else, it does not follow that Page hit harder than Foreman/Lyle/Norton etc. It just means that the punches Page connected with were harder.

    Caldwell might be exaggerating, but the point is clear: the punches Shavers hit Caldwell with were a lot, LOT harder than the punches Foreman hit him with.

    Are you stupid or what? In every post, I read another thing about "being white" and all that. Why do you post here than? Search for a forum where only black people are allowed to write, you little dumbass, damn, I hate those kiddies who always play the cyberbully, in reality you´re probably a skinny, ugly, pimply, frustated and stupid gay, get the **** out of here...
