Was the power of Earnie Shavers overrated?

[Max Power]

Anyone who doubts Ali, Holmes, Lyle saying Shavers hit hardest of all SHOULD GET THEIR ASS IN THE RING AND SEE or just shut the fuck up.

Exactly, 2nd post is spot on. Fighters testified to his punches. AND as much as i like Mike Tyson AND his explosive shots, his foes dont call him the hardest puncher. Personally P4P i like the KO ratio OF Julian Jackson

No boxers from any other era would be silly enough to make such outrageous claims that's why.

I don't hear ANY boxers saying this guy hit harder than that guy ever these days.

Stands to reason the shots that knock you flat are harder than the ones you can even REMEMBER! It's boxing LOL If these guys can remember the punch, it can't have been that hard period!

There's an obvious reason why they boast the Shavers wins isn't there, because it sounds much better than them saying they got hit or decked by a C grade fighter that usually has trouble landing on a heavy bag.
