Pinklon Thomas vs. Earnie Shavers

Shavers would land the big punch but he was a ****py finisher,pinky would recover and would stop him late

 

There was a window in the 80's where Thomas was a pretty good fighter with the tools he had. ( I think he got involved with drugs.....and faded fast from the scene)

 

Prime Pink would outjab and outlast him.

 

Thomas had an awesome chin, if he could deal with 16 straight punches from a prime Tyson before going down (he almost got up in time mind you) then one big shot from Earnie Shavers isn't going to make much of a difference.

The best Pink is much more polished than Shavers. He also has the chin to surrvive the Shavers power. I could see him getting decked or hurt but he will survive and stop Earnie late or get a decision.. In his prime Thomas had a sledge hammer of a jab and a pretty good right cross. He also used the Philly shell defense quite well

 

I would give Thomas the edge ... if he's in shape and motivated. Haven't seen a huge amount of him but what I did see, he looked like a good boxer with a decent set of whiskers. Obviously Shavers has his punching power going for him, so this one could be fairly close.

 

Pinklon Thomas

 

I pick the better schooled fighter.

Shavers hit hard, but was a poor finisher and not exactly durable himself

 

Prime Pinklon outpoints the power puncher.

 

Thomas jabs his head off.

 

Pinklon in 6-8 rounds

 

Another vote for Pinky. Probably gets rocked at some point but rallies for a win by stoppage.

 

Thomas by late roundTKO or decision. Thomas had a excellent jab and a betterchin.

 

Prime Thomas was the better fighter.

He had a great chin, too.

I see Thomas outlasting Earnie for a late TKO or decision win.
