Go through the list, write down all the boxers who were "never stopped" or "never lost" to these punchers, and you will have your answer ... my son.
Wlad couldn't stop Ross Puritty. Foreman couldn't stop Levi Forte. Lennox Lewis couldn't stop Levi Billups.
Why not shavers? Every boxer who fought both foreman and shavers claimed shavers hit much harder. And holyfield fought both lewis and past prime foreman and claimer foreman hit harder. I think even shannon briggs implied that 50 year old foreman hit harder than lewis and vitali klitschko. Shavers would get taken out by foreman is 4 rounds but by pure punching power it seems shavers hits the hardest.
Earnie Shavers couldn't stop Stan Johnson, Ron Stander, Vicente Rondon, Bob Stallings, Leroy Boone, to name a few.
Because he was a glass cannon and wasnt as skilled as the top heavyweights at the time. But he hit extremely hard. People who fought shavers and foreman literally claimed shavers hit harder. However there's different types of power and that does need to be taken into account
Glass didn't have anything to do with him going the distance with guys like Bob Stallings and Leroy Boone and Vicente Rondon. The fights went the distance. He just couldn't knock them out. The question isn't did he hit hard. It was who is the HARDEST puncher. If Bob Stallings and Leroy Boone and light heavys like Rondon are going the distance, it's a tough argument to say you hit harder than ANYONE.
Because he wasn't as skilled as the top heavyweights of his time ? Im going off actually quotes from boxers who fought both fkreman and shavers because in the ring there are several factors that can come into play and based off what people said. Shavers hit much harder than foreman. No reason to lie now is there ?
I know the quotes. I always enjoyed watching Earnie Shavers fight when I was growing up. I enjoy watching punchers. Unfortunately, he rarely won when I was watching him. And the guys who said Shavers hit the hardest tended to be the guys Shavers DIDN'T knock out. (LOL) Everyone on the list hits hard.
Leroy Caldwell who fought Foreman and Shavers said Shavers hit harder,,,,by far! I think the top 3 are Shavers ,Wilder and Foreman and I'm not sure for pure one shot power that Wilder isn't number 1# .
