Would the punch that Earnie Shavers knocked Holmes down with have floored Vitali?

Holmes had a great chin that was just as good as Vitali's. He was out for a second or two in that KD.

I'm not saying if Shavers could have been able to land this punch on Vitali Klitschko, but what would have happened if this punch did land on prime Vitali's chin.

Vitali is known for his solid out chin, but would he have hit the canvas if he tasted this punch?

Down goes Kiltschko!

Holmes had a great chin. Even if you didn't know that, the fact that he got up from a loaded-up, perfect shot from one of the most murderous punchers in heavyweight history is ample evidence. Vitali would probably get up, as Larry did, since he has a great chin as well, but that's a sledgehammer shot to take.
