earnie shavers: the hardest heavyweight puncher ever?

[Max Power]

Holmes and Ali beat Shavers so why would they say he hit hard?

Holmes could have said Tyson hit me the hardest and Ali could have said Foreman.

Your kidding right? Why would Holmes want to say Earnie hit him hardest and not Tyson?

Well that's pretty bloody obvious isn't it!

Because Holmes BEAT Shavers, by making this claim, he INCREASES his own legacy for surviving and beating the hardest puncher he faced and DOWNGRADES his LOSS against Tyson as being due more to Holmes not being "prime" against Tyson, thus casting doubt about whether Tyson could beat the prime Holmes.

Talking smack to boost your own wins was a HALLMARK trait of golden era fighters. None of them were really any good, so they HAD to.
