That's how Ernie Shavers was introduced at MSG for the fight THAT HE WON against The Greatest.

That's how Ernie Shavers was introduced at MSG for the fight THAT HE WON against The Greatest.

And thank you for proving my point on the other thread about why Shavers must be upheld to the highest standards.

OTNB/nostalgist viewpoint: "Shavers beat Ali, Since Ali is great, Shavers must also be great", = both boxers are great.

MaxPower/modernist viewpoint: "Shavers beat Ali, Since Shavers is so shit, Ali must have been shockingly hopeless" = both boxers are worthless.

Boxing Histoian = generally worthless opinion altogether.
Boxing writer = only worthwhile opinion when the opinion coincides with facts
Voting board = Mostly consisting of unintelligentsia or those leftover who are allowed to vote.

Facts are facts, it is what it is.

All those aficionados are shit, but Maxpower knows better. Puhh-lease.

If you can quote me any historian, writer or analyst or even forum voter/poster, who presents his opinion with factual evidence that I cannot easily refute, then I will acknowledge that historian or whatever as having a valid viewpoint.

If they make a statement purely on the authority of who they are backed with nothing but their opinion which happens to fly in the face of actual facts, then I will dismiss their opinion as worthless and label them as an idiot, as I have always done.

That's what I do, expose boxing's so called "experts" for the frauds that most of them are. It's basically my second job LOL.

MaxPower= the truth.. with a little bit of humour thrown in to make it readable haha
