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

I take it you're referring to me?

If you want, we can have a long, drawn out discussion on David Tua, ill be more than happy to oblige

 

i like more 1940 boxing,,, beau jack etc

 

Are you ******ed? Shavers didn't knock them out because they were better than him in terms of boxing skill. That does not make shavers not the hardest puncher they faced.

 

Ah right

but then why turn up at a thread about Earnie Shavers asking who he was?

 

so there is rules on what i ask now lol

just curious

 

No i just find it odd, that someone claims to study boxing history, then turns up asking who Earnie Shavers was.

 

Name me Lennox Lewis' top 10 wins.

 

They are a bunch of incompetent Key Board Warrtors.


Shavers is up there with the hardest punchers of all time.Arguably the hardest puncher of ALL Time.Fighters gave hime tremendous respect, every time SHavers connected half decently ,he hurt. That is power.

 

I tend to believe guys who actually fought and stepped in the ring to judge punching power. Now there is no one who can compare LL, Wlad and Wilder but Holmes faced old Ernie and Peak Tyson so I gotta give it to the man.

I am amazed that SMPDNHAFCAB (so many people do not have a fuc.king clue about boxing) . . . they do not realize that punch hard does not always equate to getting a KO, there are so many factors involved.

 

:roll: Its a boxing rule to always give credit to those you beat...To discredit those who owned you :yep

If Kovalev, Ward or Superbitch ever get KTFO so bad...They will also predictabley say Boone was the best puncher thry ever faced :deal

 

Peoople saying Shavers was a 'journeyman' and a 'bum ' are just parroting some false myth they heard from some other guy who knows nothing about boxing history.

Shavers could box and could box better than most guys around today. His major problem was being active in the best HW era in history. And he still ran through a great fighter like Norton in one round and was very competitive against prime Larry Holmes.

Shavers would be a top rated HW in todays weak era.

 

Shavers = Boone

Darnel Boone Knockdown/badly hurt (Superbitch, Ward & Kovalev)

 

Nah, he was one of the top contenders of the 70s. I would compare him to Oleg in the 90s and 00s. He would have bad strings of losses than KO a top guy out of nowhere and be back in the mix.

 

What are you talking about..he was a top rated HW in his own era.

 

When did he I say he wasn't? Don't be so quick to try catch me out on something. I know you want to so badly.
