Jack Johnson vs. Earnie Shavers

Ask Cleveland Williams about Shavers' late round power.

 

100% spot-on. Johnson would tie Shavers into knots the entire fight!!

 

Skill and rules favor Johnson by a mile,,but I've seen those era gloves up close and the thought of Earnie Shavers using a 5 oz glove is terrifying , he could kill someone.

 

Ah yes, Roy Williams. Earnie was nearly on toast himself and came back with defining power shots late in the piece. Great performance by The Acorn.

 

Imagine during the pre fight instructions both Jack and Earnie shining each other’s heads.

Reciprocal grooming. Nice.

 

I'm as tolerant and open minded a person as you'll find, Pug, but even I don't think it's appropriate for you to be sharing homo-erotic fantasies such as these on this forum.

Edit - apologies Pug, I've just realised you were referring to the heads attached to their necks.

 

Can’t blame you Greg. On re-read, “Craniums” would’ve been a better, unambiguous term.

In future I will definitely poof read my posts before submitting. I don’t want anyone taking it the wrong way.
