some people give the klits too much love. i will admit that i have a higher opinion on them than i used to but i say again, there was a reason their dominance happened once the batch of HWs retired during the lewis era. its because there were decent HWs at that time. and im not saying good HWs but decent ones. now, there are only terrible HWs.
again, shavers isnt great but if wlad had to fight the guys that shavers fought, he would have been irrelevant. i honestly think that the klit brothers wouldnt have been known by even most boxing fans nowadays.
fighting within the rules Ernie is probably right
wlad would be fringe today fighting within the rules tho
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
LOL Good old Earnie Shaver's..
Of all the delusional nostalgist boxers, trainers and "experts", Shavers has to rank right up there among the worst.
Shavers would be considered a bit of a featherfist today ironically.
And would not be able to compete as a professional boxer in either Heavyweight OR Cruiserweight because he had no skills.
Shaver was a cruiser cruncher and bum buster exclusively!
His ONLY win ever in 90 fights vs a real HW with a good record was vs Ken Norton, a chinless punch weak boxer with no pedigree who was himself a bum buster.
This is absolutely pathetic!
A guy stopped by Jerry Quarry has no place in the ring with Tyson, Foreman or either Klitschko.
Liston vs Shavers would have been a decent fight. Battle of the bums! LOL
Shaver is a boxer who the OTNB HAVE to defend at all costs as a decent opponent, because he beat Ali, if Shaver's falls, the whole house of cards from the OTNB deck falls.
Shavers is a living proof of how the golden era was one of the weakest in history.

1/ Wladimir has taken bigger punches than Shavers has ever thrown and remained vertical. Fact.
2/ No.. I can't imagine Earnie Shavers landing ANY meaningful punch on Wladimir whatsoever. Not under ANY circumstances!
3/ If you could put a forcefield around Shavers, he would lose every single round 10-8 without exception.
4/ In reality, Shavers would be knocked out in the first round by Wladimir under any circumstances because he had no defence, no skills and a glass jaw.
5/ Shavers would never be able to compete as a professional boxer today. Fact.

Keep it up Max! You're showing us what a firm grasp on reality you have AND how knowledgable you are about the sport. Good job!

Wlad would never knock out Shavers in 1 round because he would be afraid to take any chances. Instead he would clutch and hold his way to submission.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
To say that one would have never heard of the K brothers in their days are way too full of themselves. I am not saying that the K brothers would have ramshackled everything on their way back then but they have the physical attributes and the set of skills to give any HW of any eras some tough tough headaches.
Would they have been champion? Pretty hard to say, but they would have at least been serious contenders. Shavers is too full of himself.
