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

[Master]

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?"
