Was the One-punch Power of Earnie Shavers Overrated?

[ssss]

Do you always believe what you hear? iT'S EASY TO PRAISE SOMEONE AFTER YOU BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM. dO YOU HONESTLY THINK SHAVERS HIT HOLMES HARDER THAN TYSON. GOOD GOD, TYSON ALMOST KILLED HIM. ALI WAS NOT DECKED, BUT FRAZIER BROKE HIS JAW.

SHAVERS HAD MERCADO IN BIG TROUBLE BUT COULD NOT FINISH HIM. MERCADO CAME BACK TO FINISH THE ACORN.

END OF TOPIC--PERIOD.

Your only saying that because it flushes your theory down the toilet.......

The fact is two great fighters Larry Holmes, Muhammad Ali, who had been in there with some of the hardest punchers in history......

Said Earnie Shavers was the hardest puncher they fought and i will gladly go with there opinion because they know much more than you do about boxing and they have the added advantage of actually being in the ring with him so they can gauge how hard he hits......

Just because Earnie Shavers couldn't finish a certain fighter off doesn't mean he doesn't his power is overrated thats ridiculous logic we could go back in history of all great punchers who couldn't finish off a certain fighter but on paper it didn't look like they would last 1 round with them......

Infact heres an example for you Sumbu Kalambay fought great punchers like Mike McCallum, Iran Barkley, yet they never even come close to stopping him yet Michael Nunn who was considered a light puncher flattened him in about 1 minute does that mean Iran Barkley and Mike McCallum aren't good punchers ? do you see where your logic fails......

One last question why would Larry Holmes and Muhammad Ali lie about Earnie Shavers punching power ? its not like they were ever close friends is it perhaps that it shoots down your theory into flames perhaps ?
