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

[Max Power]

He has a very high opinion of himself , for someone who was KOED by Jerry Quarry, he was a BIG puncher in his day.
Are you trying to tell me Wlad doesn't hit with as much power ? of course he does , he is massive in comparison to someone like Shavers , I think Earnie has taken to many shots to the chin.

Can you imagine Earnie landing that big bomb on Wlad's fragile jaw TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!

1/ Wladimir has taken bigger punches than Shavers has ever thrown and remained vertical. Fact.

2/ No.. I can't imagine Earnie Shavers landing ANY meaningful punch on Wladimir whatsoever. Not under ANY circumstances!

3/ If you could put a forcefield around Shavers, he would lose every single round 10-8 without exception.

4/ In reality, Shavers would be knocked out in the first round by Wladimir under any circumstances because he had no defence, no skills and a glass jaw.

5/ Shavers would never be able to compete as a professional boxer today. Fact.

...and this is Another Fact brought to you courtesy of @Max Power.

Keep it up Max! You're showing us what a firm grasp on reality you have AND how knowledgable you are about the sport. Good job!

Wlad would never knock out Shavers in 1 round because he would be afraid to take any chances. Instead he would clutch and hold his way to submission.

Wladimir Klitschko has scored double digit 1st round KO's in his career vs opposition that might be described as being better versed and more durable than Shavers.

Earnie Shavers would be among the shortest, lightest, least skilled, chinniest opponents he has ever faced with a punch much softer than his average opponents as well.

To claim Shavers could make it out of a round with Wladimir is a VERY bold claim when properly thought through.

The proper question to ask is.. "When was the last time an opponent as weak as Earnie Shavers survived a round of boxing with Wladimir Klitschko?"

To say that one would have never heard of the K brothers in their days are way too full of themselves. I am not saying that the K brothers would have ramshackled everything on their way back then but they have the physical attributes and the set of skills to give any HW of any eras some tough tough headaches.
Would they have been champion? Pretty hard to say, but they would have at least been serious contenders. Shavers is too full of himself.

Agreed the two brothers would be forces to reckon with in any era.

If Ike Ibeabuchi hadn't made that call to that lying hooker the Klit brothers would both be taking more nude pics together & not boxing. Ike was the natural successor to Lennox Lewis. Man a fight between Ike & Lennox would have been a barn burner

LOL Come on... Ike who was frustrated to the max vs Chris Byrd but managed to score a KO which can be just as easily ascribed to as a fluke than anything else.

And went balls to the wall with David Tua, who would never land a single meaningful punch in 12 rounds vs either Klitshko.

Sorry, Ike was a well built, well rounded HW but he was never very specia, aside from having possibly the best stamina of any HW. I would imagine both Klitschko's and Lennox Lewis would have scored wide UD's against him with very little chance of other outcome.

Wlad would shit his panties to look across the ring and see Shavers with 68 knockouts.

Umm. I think that Wladimir's 53 knockouts would be somewhat more frightening than Shavers 68, given the enormous gulf in quality and size of the opponents each in fact did knock out.

Shavers would never enter a ring with a Klitschko, he'd never make it that far.

Yeah but then again, I bypassed the punch bag eras and didn't get hit all that much, so I probably don't have early onset dementia like the rest of you seniors
