    Complete mismatch. Shavers might knock Louis down, but he gets stopped soon after.

    Shavers would be dangerous enough that Louis would want him out of there early, but not dangerous enough to beat him.

    This has the makings of a short fight.

    Shavers also had stamina problems....didn't carry his power into the later rounds...and never had a KO past the 7th round!!!

    You statements about Shavers are true, however, Shavers does have two 10th round knockouts, one of which was filmed:

    He's got three as a TKO would surely be counted as well.

    Shavers only need to put Louis down once.

    He would do it while getting butchered but land a haymaker ending the night. Joe Louis sadistically demolishes him in the rematch.

    lol the guy who lost to the 20-24 Bob Stallings is going to knock Louis out cold with one punch, which nobody has ever done. You're a clown.
