    whatch Shavers vs Lyle. Shavers punches were insane, he would have KO'd Lyle if he knew how to chill a little bit when he had him hurt. He just gassed himself out too much with the punching but when he pulled the trigger it was crazy. Shavers vs Lyle is awesome!

          And Holmes went in with Gerry Cooney, Michael Spinks, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield.

          Shavers resume of KO's.
          Jimmy Young
          Jimmy Ellis
          Roy Williams
          Ken Norton
          Joe Bugner
          Tony Perea(12-0)

          You completely ignored my post and whom I was responding to you **cking moron,I was countering the dunce who judged knockout power on how highly ranked that particular opponent

          And Bugner was stopped on a cut smart arse

            You make it to obvious you are a ALT. I quoted you due to the fact you douting Shaver's power. And the reason I put Bugner was to see if you were just going to troll my post or actually read it, and I would know if you would of read it by mentioning Bugner was not knocked out.

            So am pretty amazed you read my post, instead of just trolling it like you mostly do round here.

            Well Done............

              Are you intentionally being Ironic? I wasn't doubting shavers power you tool.I was responding to the dunce who based knockout power on the qauility of opposition knocked out rather than a consistent record showing as such

              I read your post yet you didn't bother reading mine even though you qouted it......you dumb prick

                Here is a interview with Ron Lyle, Lyle says Shavers was the best puncher he ever faced.

                  Sure I read something about Lyle & Shavers boxing a 4 round exhibition.. Some time ago now, but they'd have both been in their 50's..

                    I personally like ESPN's list better...

                      De La Hoya's resume is still better...and even if you disagree the gap is way too large...

                      And Pernell has a good resume but not top 10...
