    Default Was the One-punch Power of Earnie Shavers Overrated?

    He never really had that many clean KO's nor was he a great closer once he had his man hurt. He had great punching power, but he was no Joe Louis or Julian Jackson when it came to he clean one-punch finish---IMO

    What do you think?

    Shaver was a terrific puncher , but p4p Juilian Jackson for me was the hardest 1 shot knockout puncher.

    Agreed. Hearns icing of Schueler was the cleanest I have ever seen.

    What do you think?

    I read an article on this a few weeks back, but the fact is I can't think of anyone who finished the MAJORITY of their fights with single punch KOs, and the opposition must be taken into account as well. In the same article the author lists guys who were more efficient with the number of punches they needed to knock th other guy out, and kind of discredited the whole point of his writing by putting Tyson in this bracket, who I'd think most would agree is in the accumulation of punches bracket type of finisher.

    Ernie's power is legendary cause guys who shared the ring with him AND beasts like Lyle and Foreman refer to Ernie as the guy whoi had the most devastating punch.

    I always thought Lennox was the best one-punch knockout fighter
