    One punch power, Shavers.

    But, power isn't everything. Liston > Shavers overall.

    Liston better, Shavers a tad harder but not much at all.

    I think the same exact thing. Shavers hit harder, but Liston was overall a better puncher.

    I have no doubt you have and will find jumbled sentences of mine John, but hopefully not as bad as " undoubtably " :D

    Undoubtably" is considered to be nonstandard English by some authorities (for example, Garner's Modern American Usage (2009)), and the term is seldom found in modern literary writing.[1] The Oxford English Dictionary provides no examples of usage after 1513 and characterizes "undoubtably" as "? Obs.," wondering whether the term is obsolete.[2] Nevertheless, many examples of its usage can be found in 20th- and 21st-century popular English and in contemporary academic journals.
