earnie shavers: the hardest heavyweight puncher ever?

[Max Power]

These dipshits cant even come to grips with giving a puncher credit for being a puncher.

Who didn't give Earnie credit for being a puncher?

Max power

I never said he was not a puncher. On the contrary, his punch seemed to be the ONLY thing he had going for him at all. I said his power dropped off remarkably in the realm of what we TODAY call HW.

I said he failed against heavy opposition. And he failed against quality opposition.

He was a cruiser-cruncher
He was a bum-buster

Almost exclusively!
