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...Quote:

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'Quote:

Hope that helps

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

Shavers would KO Bruno, IMO.

Big Ernie was nasty with his knockout power. BOOM!
shavers knocks bruno out
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.

Don't recall any of them knocking him down if i remember rightly.
With that in mind he had a great chin;D
yep, used to sit there either yelling for him to move or the ref to stop the fight:-\

He'd just stay stunned and wide open for more beating.
Without doubt Shavers! Bruno would be bombed out fast!
Shavers hit harder, but Bruno was the more skilled of the two and I believe he would get Earnie before Earnie got him. But then again this is a toss up. The only thing we can be sure of is that it wouldn't go the distance.
I honestly haven't seen enough of Shavers to say he would win.
He did get KO'd early by Jerry Quarry and Ron Lyle. Both of whom hit about as hard as Bruno I'd suspect, Lyle maybe hit harder.
Bruno and Shavers were kind of underachievers and chinny or not got stopped a good amount of times, so I figured it'd be a hell of a fight if they ever met up.
