Was the power of Earnie Shavers overrated?

I don't like or dislike Earnie.

He simply is what he is.

His power is obviously and clearly overrated and all the heresay from the boxers he fought flies in the face of actual truth.

They all beat Shavers.

They were mostly all knocked out or hospitalised by obviously harder punchers.

They praise Earnie to pump up their own wins and protect their own legacy.. OF course.

Unbelievable what some guys will post around here.

I've never seen such blatant bias!

This Shavers guy could barely even BOX for Christ sake!

Yeah whatever, I don't hate Earnie at all. And in fact the only reason I'm dissing him as with most other boxers is because guys here are blowing more smoke up his ass than was produced by Mt. Etna.

Call it "counter-trolling".

Here are the facts.

Earnie was great at knocking out bums. Earnie was no good at all at knocking out quality opponents!

Earnie was great at knocking out Cruisers. Earnie was not very good at knocking out genuine HW's.

And that's all there is to it!
