Is Earnie Shavers a harder hitter than George Foreman?

I could be mis-recalling but didn’t Tyson send Lewis stuttering back from a jab in round 1 or 2 of their fight?

Likely some imbalance involved but it was still a nice hard jab, particularly from a 5’10” or so guy with a mere 71” reach vs a 6’5”, 84” reached fighter.

 

One of these days you & I are going to unlock a forum achievement:

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t know if I’ve seen their first fight.

 

Used to be me and @JohnThomas1 until his treacherous backstabbing in the Williams-Lewis poll.

 

First round.

 

I see.

So, no more Bizarre Love Triangle, not that I even rated a mention alongside JT.

I guess I was only really ever a third, back up wheel.

So you’ve now chosen the path of monogamy. The New Order. I hope you see what I’ve done here.

I wish you and Ney all the very best even in spite of your promiscuous history.

You have a thing for us bronzed, butch Aussies, don’t you?

 

Cheers Swag.

 

I was going to mention you as well. Only disagreement we really had was scorecards on Ali-Norton 3. But hey you had to be wrong sometime.

 

Me, wr...wro..wron….arrgghh? See, I can’t even pronounce that word let it alone be it.

 

All good mate. First time for everything.

I wonder when my first time'll be.

 

Serbian Loudmouth bagged Williams so many hundreds of times i think his text brainwashed me. It was like Chinese ****ing water torture!

 

He knows a good thang even when he doesn't see it

 

Shavers left hand gets undersold. It's understandable as it was hardly his primary weapon and that right hand overshadowed a great many heavyweight bombs over history. The shot on Lyle was insane.

Ken Norton - Suddenly Shavers caught me with a thunderous left hook, and the tide of the bout immediately turned. His powerful left hook rendered me semiconscious as i attempted to grab him to buy some time.

The thing about Shavers is that he has dozens of devastating KO's not on film. Can you imagine some of those KO's, Jesus.

 

Since I agree with both of you virtually without interruption, state your cases to me, the tie-breaking arbiter

 

No problem
