Shavers reputation of being generally recognised as the hardest puncher in history comes from ali and holmes always blowing up shavers as being a great fighter and great puncher .Shavers knockouts are nearly all against tomato cans. jimmy ellis wasent too impressed by his power . He said shavers didnt hit that hard at all.
you started a topic about was Lewis power overrated now this ?? how can Shaver's power be overrated Young was not blown up middleweight i don't know where you got that from Ellis wasn't shot he was on 8 win streak and his last loss at that time was from Ali who he went 12 rounds with and if you go on youtube and hear how hard he hit Holmes it was like shotgun going off and didn't Ali say he was hardest hitter he had fought and didn't he fight Fraizer Liston and Foreman i think Ali would know best don't you

and Ellis said Shaver's didn't hit that hard hold on second wasn't he on his backside in first round from uppercut maybe he can't remember or has brain damage from that shot one of the two
name one guy he knocked out who had a good chin?.
