    No one is claiming that the guy is the second coming of Earnie Shavers, but in order to stop 38 of 40 opponents, you have to be able to bang to some degree.. If work rate and punch repetition was all it took to compile such a ratio, then Sugar Ray Robinson would have the best win/KO ratio of anybody..

    No. He's overrated, especially by you. He arm punches and feasts on a weak division.

    Kevin Johnson. Vitali landed something ridiculous like 1000+ punches. No knockdown. Some 'big puncher'.

    Of course, and the fact that he was 38 years old and lost 4 years of his career due to mending injuries had nothing to do with him losing some of his sting? Seriously dude, take your agenda some place else.

    You referred to his match up with Briggs as 'two big punchers'.

    In any case, he's overrated in power, as well as in everything else.

    Shannon is a dangerous 1st rounder artist..against tomato cans. Seriousely, Shannon is not even rated in the top 30 right now.

    V.K. is very "Heavy Handed." He puts a whuppin' on you over the course of several rounds mounting up. He methodically breaks a man's body and willpower to pieces. V.K. is a classic surgeon general..... The man operates on a mother****er..........

    V.K. is a bad dude........... WORD!

    Wow. With the way Shannon is described in this sentence, you would think he is some kind of Sonny Liston. :roll:

    When has he ever done this to a world class opponent?

    Shavers had 22 first round KO's. He's probably the number 1 when it comes to stoppages inside two or three rounds, with around 50 of them.
