Quoting Larry Holmes:

SHAVERS WAS THE HARDEST HITTING FIGHTER i MET IN THE RING. HE DIDN'T THROW A LOT OF PUNCHES BUT WHEN HE DID HE WOULD CLOCK YOU.


taken directly from his website.

Go back to holmes website . He says that butterbean possibly hit even harder than shavers . Holmes also thinks butterbean hit harder than prime tyson which is a complete joke .

holmes was under 30 when he fought shavers.
over 50 when he fought butterbean.I think his punch
resistance would go down a touch within that period
of time.

Holmes only said that because he knows that he looked like **** and only wanted to make it look like he fought somebody. I fought on a card with Butterbean and let me tell you the guy is nothing but a side show. He was shorter than I was by a good 2" and wider than I was by a good foot and a half. The only word i can think of to describe the bean as a boxer is "extremely limited".....Rockin'

That is such bull, Shavers is the hardest hitter in recorded history, he hits 10x harder than Butter***.

I've heard Holmes say that Shavers hit him "much" harder than anybody else he's ever shared a ring with, and that Shavers hit him too hard to knock him out!!

No, catskills is lying.

Holmes insists Shavers hit him far harder than anybody else, and says the reason he wasn't knocked out from that big right that floored him was because Earnie hit him too hard to knock him out!

Search the forums and use the keywords: earnie shavers. I think that there's some video of him knocking down Larry Holmes.

Would you say he had the knock out power of people like Mike Tyson, Gerald Mcclellan, or Julian Jackson?

several fighter hit harder than a pirme tyson but Bean is not one of them, Tyson is not the hardest puncher

Didn't Holmes write in his book that Butterbean was a fat slob impersonating a boxer??

and I reckon holmes is full of ****. shavers has one of the best overhand rights ever in the history of the heavyweight division if not THE best. just watch that overhand right that landed on holmes, the look on his face when he got up was priceless. that **** definitely "woke" his ass up lol.

Holmes won a 10 round decision. It was about 3 or 4 years ago.

Larry Holmes is one bitter man.

I think he's taken one too many blows to the head. His lisp is more anoying than Tysons and his brain is even more unstable.
