Re: Earnie Shavers: You Would Not Have Heard Of The Klits In My Day
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.
