    Was it also special because Joyce is slow as molasses and has no defense?

    The worst punches are the ones you don't see coming so of course speed is a massive factor, Tyson is way faster than Zhang and much more explosive. Tyson had tree trunk legs and generated alot of his power from bending down and coming up with his punches.

    It’s not that simple though is it.

    I’m sure you think that Wilder hits much harder than Valuev.

    So Jameel McCline hits harder than everyone smaller? He hits harder than Tua or Tyson? You believe that, yes?

    26 lunatics believe that Zhang would have beaten Ali.

    Why?

    Because of 2 wins over Joe Joyce, and because Ali fought a long time ago, before the invention of the wheel.

    He certainly is. Hardest punching cruiserweight of all time maybe. But heavyweight? Not a chance.

    Shavers would jump back into his time machine scared, if he ever he travelled to the future to fight Emperor Zang! The Chinaman chops him up into miniature noodles!

    Jim destroying some Murican mythology there with his salt-of-the-earth common sense.

    But to be fair to Muricans, here's a great run by ATG puncher, 183cm Shavers, back when he was 27 years old, still in his prime, after 25 fights. He KO'd every single one!

    1971-08-11 Richard Pittman 0 17 2
    1971-07-13 Bill McMurray 28 23 3
    1971-06-29 Bill Hardney 15 18 1
    1971-06-10 Chuck Leslie 23 21 5
    1971-04-24 Willie Johnson 19 30 2
    1971-04-21 Mac Harrison 14 13 0
    1971-03-24 Young Agabab debut (LOL)

    How about this guy, a few months later.

    1971-11-28 Del Morris 1 1 0

    Shavers smashed him to pieces!

    Some more amazing KO's from this massive puncher nobody now could match!

    1982-12-13 Al Jones 10 33 2
    1981-09-09 Mike Rodgers 3 19 1
    1978-12-04 Harold Carter 19 48 4
    1975-11-13 Tommy Howard 2 17 2
    1973-05-12 Harold Carter 12 25 3

    And a lot more where they came from!


    Look at the losses of these characters, it's pure comedy. Muricans, do you even look at the records of your ATG's or do you just watch the montages put together by your propaganda tv networks?

    I didn't notice Zhang hitting someone and the glove breaking (like in the Shavers case). But one can talk about how the quality of gloves and the like has improved. etc.

    I didn't notice Shavers brutally one shotting an iron jawed fighter like Joyce for the stoppage. But one can talk about how overrated Shavers is as a puncher etc.
