Lennox Lewis vs Earnie Shavers

:rofl

Why am i getting images of Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde every time you post regarding Lewis.

:yep

 

Neither do Lewis fans, who consistently overrate this guy, despite the FACT that he was the only top level HW champ taken out early twice by second-rate fighters in the heart of his career, and who didn't face the great fighters of the era, Holyfiled and Tyson, until they were past their primes. With his chin, punchers like Shavers had a damn good shot of laying him out cold, just like the mediocre Rahman did.

Ridiculous

Lewis ends this within 4 rounds tops.

Shavers magic punch will not land .

 

Ali at that point was outlanded and outpointed by a 6-0 journeyman so i wouldn't say he was all that hard to land on. And Tillis was a journeyman himself so i don't know why you bring him up.
I will give you Holmes, but he had 20 rounds to do that. The difference is that Lewis has the power to easily take Shavers out, Holmes and Ali don't.

 

Anyone who would seriously make Shavers favourite to beat Lewis is a ****ING MORON.

 

Shavers is so laughably over rated. People here pick him over Louis, Marciano, Dempsey and now Lewis. I'll say that if he fights any of these men 100 times, he may win once or twice but the rest of the 98/99 times he loses

 

Lewis...but a lot later than others have. I think he'd fight more catiously, ala Tua, against a huge bomber like Acorn. No use risking the huge bomb, working behind the jab until he takes more chances when Earnie tires badly in the second half of fight, one knockdown and ref intervenes. Lewis TKO 8.

 

Lewis in the first or second.

Knowing he's up against a big puncher, Lewis brings his A-Game to the ring. Ruddock, Grant, Golota ..... and Shavers - all out before the end of R2.

 

First I thaught "WTF?", but than I looked at your nickname and thaught "Aha, OK!"...

 

cut old zak some slack, he's still getting weekly therapy after seeing holyfield get schooled twice by lewis.

 

Ahhhhhhhhh what?

Holmes' chin was one of the best! Lewis' definately was not.

 

Yes, but in how many seconds?

 

Lewis with Manny Steward post-prime plays Shavers for a few rounds then TKO's him. The younger, fresher version of Lewi takes shavers out in the first couple of rounds. However, I do agree.. Shavers has about a 1/15 chance of landing that big bomb that he dropped on Larry's temple, and Lewis wouldn't take it.
