He is known as the hardest one-punch hitter in history

You know someone drugged big george I blame the africans who wanted ali to win. They did some crazy voodoo on big george we can agree that was not foreman at 100%

Ali fought them both, I think his opinion counts

George blamed his corner afterwards, he and them were too cocky, not allowing a breather.
However, they were close to pull it off. Ali wrote in his biography that he was ready to go in the 5th round - about the same time as George ran out of gas.

Shavers had average punching power at best

Oh really? Based on what?

Based on Larry Holmes head almost coming off his sholders?

Or just based on his numerous knockout victories?

[IronDanHamza]

If Shavers had anything, it was power.

I wouldn't say he's the hardest puncher of all time, especially not P4P, but he's up there.

P4P guys like Hearns, Foster, Jackson etc I would say hit harder.

I'd say they're are Heavyweight's who hit harder too, but he's up there.

If Muhammad Ali say's that you're the hardest puncher he's faced, you must hit pretty damn hard.

Holmes got up in like 3 seconds

Shavers has a low K.O%

[revs1227]

wow how have i never seen that shavers punch on holmes before ? that was insane!!!!!!!!!!
raw power
i knew he could punch but damn
and holmes got up thats somthing only a tue atg could have done
incredible !

[BrotherDudeJack]

Larry Holmes was the ****in man to be able to get up from that..most men would've been out cold.

Why are you acting like it was a flash knockdown or something?

Holmes was badly hurt. That shot would have knocked almost anyone in the divison in 1979 clean out.

And out of Shavers 75 wins, he knocked 69 out.

Looking at Boxrec and seeing his KO% seem low because of his loss's doesn't change that Shavers hit like a truck.

Saying he had average power is just outright stupid.

shavers could hurt the best but he couldn't beat them.
