Earnie Shavers vs. Frank Bruno

[Hulk]

Big punchers with weak chins.

Who would come out on top?

[Taeth]

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.

[BIG H]

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...

[Master]

Shavers, slightly better stamina.

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.

And Cummings and Bonecrusher and Tyson, his arms just used to drop down by his side while he took a beating and his brain seemed buzzed out.
Don't recall any of them knocking him down if i remember rightly.
With that in mind he had a great chin

[Howlin Mad Missy]

yep, used to sit there either yelling for him to move or the ref to stop the fight

[rjj tszyu]

Without doubt Shavers! Bruno would be bombed out fast!

[Beanflicker]

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.

[Hulk]

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.
