The absolute worse version of Wlad would have destroyed Shavers. Sanders still had to take some punishment to tag Wlad, Shavers got blasted out by anyone who opened up on him. Quarry KO1 Shavers. And Quarry wasn't a big puncher. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEpVPBH12Ik[/url]
I remember when my old buddy Tex Cobb fought Earnie Shavers. Tex said Earnie was the only man that hurt him enough to think about quitting in a fight. Little story about that fight Tex came back to his corner at end of round. George his trainer said"Dont worry Tex he's not hitting and hurting you" Tex said " Whaddya mean don't worry if Earnie aint hurting me you better watch the godamm ref then coz somebody sure is" LOL typical Tex
Special one, just for you. I couldn't leave without throwing some more logic on your nonsense just one last time. Peace, ya bet welching crackpot :good:hi:
If Shavers tagged Wlad then Wlad would have gone to sleep. But, trust me, Shavers would get nowhere near Wlad and would be blasted very quickly.
Yeah they sure did dq Ali for all his holding... Oh wait they didnt..... I guess you're argument is a failure.
A guy who gassed against Purity and Brewster, made a few corrections, and is now on the verge of breaking some records for defenses and title reign length against far superior competition. Shaver is simply not in Wlad's league.
Wlad beats Shavers the vast majority of the time. Too big, too skilled, too hard-hitting. Shavers has the proverbial puncher's chance, I guess. But what I think happens is that Wlad keeps him on the end of one of the best and hardest jabs in the business, and utilizes his huge reach advantage to grind Shavers down until he cracks. :!: [lepinthehood] "You dont think wlad is better than leon spinks? " Aaaand cue the next thread "Leon Spinks is better than Wlad" :rofl Don't give these guys ideas ...
Does Shavers beat Klitschko the way Purrity did; take a terrible beating until an ill Klitschko runs out of steam? Probably not, Shavers did not seem to have that kind of durability. Does Shavers beat Klitschko the way Brewster did; take a terrible beating until Klitschko runs out of steam? Probably not, Shavers did not seem to have that kind of durability. Does Shavers beat Klitschko the way Sanders did? Probably not, he's not 6'5", he doesn't have the speed, timing or southpaw stance. Does Klitschko beat Shavers the way ( insert name here ) did? Most likely. I don't think you even have to look to the top of the heap to find a current heavyweight that would most likely beat Shavers. Many of those who lost to Klitschko would probably beat Shavers.
[butch coolidge] "Many of those who lost to Klitschko would probably beat Shavers." Povetkin, Pulev, Haye for sure, Mercer and even Wach, probably ... somebody should start a thread Sam Peter vs Earnie Shavers. Could be interesting?
Wladimir would not give Shavers a whiff of an opportunity. He would be careful but assertive and then he would either crack Ernie with a hook or cross. Maybe mid rounds.
