earnie shavers: the hardest heavyweight puncher ever?

[Master]

none of them were ever punched by a more modern slugger?

What could they possibly do, get into a Tardis?

LOL Funny but of course not. THAT'S my point!

How can they claim and how can he BE among the hardest punchers.

They can claim, he COULD be one of the hardest punchers THEN. I don't see how it could be successfully argued that he could hit hardest later.

It was your guys here paxtom and Brockton who argued "for ALL time".

I mean let's be honest, in terms of delivery the guy could barely hit a double end bag, he was hopeless. So raw power is what's being considered right?

As you would know raw power, like punching bag power, there are guys in gyms literally EVERYWHERE who are not even proper boxers, who train most of their time simply on the heavybag, obsessed with power as they don't like the pressure of getting hit in sparring etc, aren't competitive and think this compensates somewhat for skills. These guys might not be able to fight a lick compared to a real boxer but they often develop whacking potential in EXCESS of top boxers because it's all they do all day! Helped out these days by roids and protein shakes, even a lot of THESE guys we've never heard of might hit harder.

This point is really no big deal!

The fact is that the guy was not a good boxer, he never WOULD have been a good boxer. He had a punch. Good for him!

So many fighters have said it.

Shavers was one dimensional like all big punchers who were not great. He could hit.

Bill said top 5.

Yeah we've been through all that.

Bill must be Shavers cousin or something and Brockton his mistress with all their Earnie licking this past week!

As for the fighters...

- They all talk smack
- They all stand to GAIN from making this claim
- They all BEAT Shavers
- They were all knocked down and WASTED by other fighters worse than Shavers

They are OBVIOUSLY lying, and even then..

- You could not REMEMBER the hardest punches! I have been knocked out before, and you DON'T remember the hardest shots because you are CONCUSSED, OBVIOUSLY! It's the LIGHTER shots that hurt more often! Until later when your trying to chew your McDonalds with a mangled jaw LOL

The only one who has any claim to making Shavers the hardest hitter he fought is Kenny Norton.

But again..

Foreman is the more OBVIOUS hardest hitter of that era.

And Norton's brain was in no state to judge punch power during any of his KO's.

Yet Ali said he hit harder than George.

Yet Ali was able to boast and laugh after the Shavers fight.

Yet after fighting Geroge he had to make a trip to the hospital with a broken body.

Ali was able to FIGHT Shaver properly.

Against Geroge he was covered up on the ropes and unable to even fight Geroge by conventional means until he was gassed.
