Was the power of Earnie Shavers overrated?

[Max Power]

Hey Max,

You no like Earnie ?

he momma got "acorned" and now its old man butt hurt.

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!
