Earnie Shavers!

[Yogi]

I have a feeling you won't be disappointed. The last two rounds were gems. This fight is a plain old fashion brawl, best I can figure; both guys on equal skill level....just a matter of who wants it more.

If you ever find a complete copy, let me know.

In addition to seeing a great slugfest, I'd also like to have a better look at Roy Williams and see how he does against a fighter who gives him more opportunities to set himself to punch...

The only fight I've ever seen of Williams' was the Holmes fight, but Holmes didn't stay stationary for long in that one, boxed well behind his jab of course, and succeeded in diminshing Williams' attacks and overall punch activity. Williams still looked like a dangerous fighter though, as he aggressively stalked Holmes continuously throughout the fight, and looked to have very heavy hands when he did have the opportunities let his hands go (his overhand right looking to be his best punch in his arsenal).

Oh, and yeah...if I do get a full copy of it down the road, I'll be sure to let you know.

Never saw the Holmes fight; but given what I know about Holmes and what I saw of Williams, I can imagine. It is amazing how style make fights, simple a notion as that is.

And, yeah, defintely let me know if you ever find a full copy. Thanks.

I am watching Earnie Shavers Vs. Larry Holmes, and I have seen Shavers Vs. Lyle, Norton, Young, Ali, Holmes, Ellis and a few more. What a warrior, its like taking the chin, stamina, and boxing skills of Evander Holyfield and tramsforming it into Punching Power, keeping the massive heart!

So my question is, would you consider Earnie Shavers, the hardest hitter in recorded history, a all-time great? I would.

hi again its me mrtvman from youtube well i think george foreman is the hardest puncher in boxing histery and earnie shavers is the number 2 hardest puncher in boxing histery so see you around peace out

Out of curiousity, does anybody have a bunch of Shavers fights to post on here for the rest of us whose computers feel naked without them?
