Here's one for you, you want me to properly "respect" Shavers.. Let's try this..

- Shavers beat/took the fight too/potentially scared off, the top boxers of his day.
- Shavers compiled an extensive record of decent quality for his abilities.
- Shavers with little skill and chin managed to succeed in HW boxing
- Shavers had one of the hardest punchers for the criteria of his day.

There is your Shavers honoured properly. With respect!
Record was 76-9 at his first retirement, age 37. 67 KOs. You call that "decent". ?
LMFAO
I only consider the meaningful fights.

Bum fights are not meaningful.

I wouldn't credit bum fights for a modern boxer like Wilder and I wouldn't do it for an ancient boxer like Shaver either.

Since these guys records are mostly composed of bums, there true worth can only be assessed once it has been "deflated".
