Was the power of Earnie Shavers overrated?

MAX,

I don't think you really believe what you're saying.

Liston up @Bill Paxtom

I don't think you really understand what is going on.

This picture you uploaded of Shavers, for anybody in the street who is a modern boxing fan and has little idea who Shavers is, this image of him is ridiculous.

If you showed them this guy, just a picture and tried to tell them that this guy is one of the all time hardest punchers, you would be lauged in the face at.

You have to admit he LOOKS ridiculous. He doesn't even LOOK like a hard puncher.

Bring up that 2 round fight of Samuel Peter and Jeremy Williams above. Take a look at the quality of Shavers fights and then look at the quality of Peters.

You can SEE clearly the difference in skills. You can SEE clearly the modern fighters are FASTER DESPITE BEING LARGER! And Williams didn't even make it to top level!

You can HEAR and almost FEEL the punches they are so hard.

And then there is the devastating knockout!

There is no comparison between the power of Samuel Peter and Earnie Shavers. They DON'T EVEN PLAY IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS EACH OTHER!

OF course I believe what I am saying. It's utterly unbelievable that a fully grown man like I assume you and your OTNB friends are cannot see it for yourself!
