    He'd beat 1991 Evander Holyfield no questions asked.

    Who thinks that is more powerful than Earnie Shavers and almost as quick as Ali. I don't think you know a definition of the word "realist".

    Having roughly 60-70% of Ali's speed ain't that big of a deal man.
    And I'm definitely more powerful than Shavers, that's undisputable. But since you were referring to punching power, plenty are more powerful than Shavers.
    Only you are delusional to think he was the hardest hitter when he has 11 KOs in 23 fights against big HWs

    For us folks, think Quai, with more , a lot more power, and probably a better stratigigist, freaks do come along, he was one. So yeah, he beats IMO Corbett, Fittz, Burns(close) Hart, Willard, Braddock, Carnera, etc
