Earnie Shavers vs. Frank Bruno

Big punchers with weak chins.

Who would come out on top?

I would say Bruno is a little bit the better boxer, did alright against Tyson, but man could Shavers hit hard, I think its whoever hurts the other person first. I've only seen a few of these guys fights mostly in watch other fighters Bruno against Tyson and L.Lewis, and Shavers against Norton, Ali, Holmes.

My guess is Shavers being what I consider the more dangerous puncher I would pick him. I think he would maul Bruno.

Bruno. Both had stamina issues and lacke a back-up plan in the late rounds. But it would have been agreat war. Good question.

Bruno didn't have a weak chin, he had a weak defence! He should've taken a knee against Witherspoon and Lewis, but just stayed against the ropes getting brutalized.

I agree but a weak defense against a puncher like Shavers spells trouble in my book...

Shavers, slightly better stamina.

Earnie Shavers knocked Bruno out cold, probably around the 8th round.

I'd have to go Shavers. He punched like a mule kicked. He would gas and had a relatively weak chin but his power was unquestioned. Bruno had power also but not like Ernie possessed.

Hey question to whomever may read this: How do the points work on here? I'm new.

You write a good post that a member agree's with or respects and they can give you 'rep'

The more rep the user has, the higher their 'punch power' and the more points they can give to other users as 'rep'.

Hope that helps

Here, have your first lot on me..

Thanks for the info. I've gotten it three times and was wondering how it all worked. Thanks again.

Shavers would KO Bruno, IMO.

Big Ernie was nasty with his knockout power. BOOM!

Bruno

Shavers. As Big H said, Bruno had a habit of, um, staying up and getting battered when the smarter thing to do would be to take a knee or try and move or hold. Lean back with your hands down/loose spells big trouble. :(

That being said for about 4 rounds he looked good against Tyson. ;)

And Shavers seems to be a nice man.
