Earnie Shavers!

[platinummatt!]

shavers technique was good, you can see his hips going into it.

if anything shavers power is overrated . He never damaged his opponents like tyson did . Tyson burst ear drums, fractured eye sockets,cheekbones , broke vertebraes, smashed noses, broke ribs. pierced lungs. Infact tysons sparring partners used to end up in the parademics when tyson was going all out in sparring just before a fight . Infacy i have never heard of shavers smashing any of his opponents bones or sending his sparring parners to intensive care.

i've got afeelig you only post this crap to elicit a response but i'm gonna give you one anyway; noone who knows ANYTHING sbout boxing would rater tyson higher than shavers in a punch power ranking

wtf he broke bones, gave people whiplash and tauma, exploded gloves and knocked guys cold with one shot.



People were too scared to spar with him!

bull**** he never gave nobody whiplash or trauma and his sparring partners did spar and thet didnt end up in hospital.

Shows how much you know. Watch the Randy Tex Cobb fight and see what happens to Rand's head. Shavers made it spin around, tore muscles and gave him serious inmjuries that put him in hospital. He broke sparring partners ribs and gave fighters physical trauma which damaged them internally.

Tyson's power was great to watch, Shavers' power was disturbing to watch.

Tyson's power was great to watch, Shavers' power was disturbing to watch.

Very nicely put Yaman.


If it's an condolence Catskills, Tyson would destroy shavers in an actual match up.

he definately would!! i mean shavers has the kind of power that could ko tyson in 1 bu tyson was so quick and shavers chin was weak

Tyson would have beat poor Earnie to death in 1 round...Shavers isn't that great.

Shavers hit Randy Tex Cobb with a right in the neck so hard it broke his left ankle.

Larry Holmes thought he was struck by lighting when Shavers hit him, probably would have been better off.

[NJFighter91]

shavers IMO was one of the best that never won a title...

yaman put it good. "Tyson's power was great to watch, Shavers' power was disturbing to watch."

[XionComrade]

Yeah Yaman, if anyone famous would have said that it would have been a historical quote :P
