why is earnie shavers considered the hardest puncher of all time,who did he destroy?

fighters who have faced both of them say otherwise including Ali who beat both

·Tex Cobb: "Nobody hits like Shavers. If anybody hit harder than Shavers, I'd shoot him."

·Larry Holmes: "Earnie hit me harder than any other fighter, including Mike Tyson. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing saxophonist Jimmy Tillis."

·Tex Cobb: "Earnie could punch you in the neck with his right hand and break your ankle."

·Muhammad Ali: "Earnie hit me so hard, he shook my kinfolk back in Africa"

·Ron Lyle: "Hey man, that's the hardest I've ever been hit in my life. And George Foreman could punch, but none of them could hit like Earnie Shavers did. When he hit you, the lights went out. I can laugh about it now, but at the time,it wasn't funny."

·Ron Lyle: "Hardest he's ever been hit: Earnie Shavers. The ground came up and met me. That's all I remember."

·James Tillis: "Shavers hit so hard he turned horse p*ss into gasoline! He hit me so hard he brought back tomorrow. When he hit me… I was seeing pink rats and cats and animals smoking cigarettes. I was in the land of make-believe."

·James Tillis: "The baddest motherf*cker I fought was Earnie Shavers. That motherf*cker can make July into June and made me jump over the motherf*ckin' moon. That motherf*cker hit so hard, he'll bring back tomorow. He hit me so hard, I thought I was on the corner smoking cigarette and eating a spam sandwich. That's how hard that motherf*cker hit."

 

Lyle TKO'd Shavers
Foreman KTFO Lyle
Holmes TKO'd Shavers
Tyson KTFO Holmes
Fraizer knocked Ali down hard
Bert Cooper hurt the **** out of Ali
Shavers couldn't do either
Tillis got KTFO by a few people
He UD'd Shavers...

 

please read and be educated

Marquez knocked out Pacquiao, but Pacquiao TKO'd Cotto. Do you think Marquez hits harder than Cotto?

 

Shavers koed Ken Norton...Jimmy Ellis both in the first round! Two former Hw champs.

 

I'll willingly believe my old buddy Randall Tex Cobb when he said "Earnie hits the hardest without doubt he was the only fighter that ever made me feel like quitting in a fight". " Every punch Earnie landed shook me rigid I never let him know that though"
Earnie also told me " Tex Cobb must have had concrete poured into his chin I hit him as hard as Ive knocked guys cold with & that son of a gun just laughed at me"'
If only Earnie had had the stamina to match his punching power Earnie was awesome for 6 rounds

 

:thumbsup

 

Cooney did it better :roll:

 

:smoke

 

Which genius put Wlad in as the hardest puncher ever - forums going to sh-t.

 

If Wilder was not around, Wlad and Lewis have the most powerful right hands of all time

 

Your wrong Wilders 6'6 with a 83 inch reach :deal

 

So the secret of boxing power is to have a W in your name .

 

I reckon lennox lewis right hand is probably

 

I am fairly certain that Quick Tillis refuted his statement after he fought Iron Mike.
