Wladimir Klitschko v Earnie Shavers Who Wins?

Shavers is a great fighter all of a sudden, when did this happen?

 

Wlad lands first due to his skills
shavers had a weak chin also

 

Tua has a big punch too. I guess he automatically beats Wlad?

 

The people picking Shavers surely have never seen him fight, Klitschko demolishes this guy. Shavers has a 1 in 5000 chance of landing a prayer but that's it, Wlad is 100 times the boxer Shavers was.

 

No he's not. But he is a huge puncher, arguably the biggest heavyweight puncher of all time. He wasn't too shoddy in the other departments either. He is certainly a lot better than the likes of Sam Peter and Derek Chisora. Wlad's chin is somewhat weak, and when hurt Wlad does not recover well. Shavers, being quite accurate and one of the biggest punchers of all time (if not the biggest) would land on Wlad, and he would knock Wlad out with that punch. People say Shavers had a weak chin, but he gave Ali and Holmes absolute hell before succumbing to 2 ATG fighters. He punches harder, his chin is better, and his fundamentals may not be outstanding, but they are better than anything Wlad has faced in a long time.

Shavers by KO.

 

Different sized men. Wlad is bigger, faster, stronger, more skilled, and HITS harder! Earnie never had the best chin anyway.

Wlad ko3 Shavers

 

Ali was waaaaaaaaaay past prime, ofcourse he was troubled by Shavers, and then he couldn't beat a past prime Ali atsch

Just a huge puncher with a puncher's chance. Out of 10 fights with Wlad, Shavers might win one by way of lucky punch, which I doubt he will land...

 

Indeed, the only reason why most (I say most) past HW were great because they were quite small (quasi equally sized). Against the modern super HWs with a some skill, they would've had a hard time!!

 

Shavers would stop him early. If he can catch Ali and Holmes with huge shots he will catch Wlad. And hell, Wlad used to get caught all the time by Sanders, Puritty, Brewster, and Peter. These guys are not better then Shavers. And they certainly dont hit as hard. Shavers KO 6

 

Shavers was an enormous puncher, who always got to his opponent. Always.

Wlad has a poor chin, Shavers has a massive punch. Shavers finds the target. Ask Larry Holmes, he had a better chin than Wlad ever will. Do you think Wlad would get up from the bombs that Holmes took? I certainly don't.

Wlad may have an easy time against overweight, weak punching, unskilled fighters like Sam Peter and Ruslan Chagaev, but against a huge punching fighter, who mixed it up with some of the greatest heavyweights of all time, and managed to get to almost every opponent he faced, I don't think Wlad would have the same sucess.

 

wlad easily..

 

...Looks at posters location.. that explains a lot... Peter was weak punching atsch And chagaev was unskilled... didnt he win a medal in the olympics? Beat Savon beat Valueless long before your overhyped countrymen... also shavers never was "great" there is a reason he lost 14 fights and almost every time he stepped up.

 

My gut tells me Shavers stops him early. But if he doesn't, I think he probably gets knocked out himself. Shavers, like many big punchers, didn't have the greatest stamina.

 

You're judging me based on where I live? That's a bit immature is it not?

Peter has power compared to todays heavyweights, but compared to Earnie Shavers and the era he fought in? It's laughable. Peter is like Paulie Malignaggi compared to Ernest Shavers, who is up there with George Foreman as the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time. What is Samuel Peters best TKO win? A shot Oleg Maskaev? I don't see what you base his apparent power on. His resume consists of mostle scrubs and journeymen.

Where was Chagaevs 'skill' when he escaped with a split decision win over John Ruiz in his hometown? I didn't see this Gold-medal winning standard against Ruiz. Nor did I see it against Travis Walker, a b-level heavyweight with a weak chin and below average skills. Chagaev may have had skills, but without dedication, they are worthless. Look at Odlanier Solis, he was an amateur champion. Do you think the fat lazy blob that he is now would win a championship, I don't. The point is, Chagaev won his gold medal years before he looked terrible agaisnt Ruiz and scraped by Valuev. Do you think he would even win against one of the top level fighters Shavers fought? I don't.

Shavers had 14 losses because he fought in arguably the greatest heavyweight era of all time. He fought all comers, he strived to fight all champions. Ali, Holmes, Ken Norton to name a few. Sugar Ray Robinson had 19 losses. Does that make him any less of a fighter?
