    Ali, Holmes, Quarry, Stander, Kirkman, Bobbick, and Cobb and solid hitters who hit on the 1-10 scale say between a 6 or 7.

    But Shavers and Foreman hit a 10 on the 1-10 scale. They do.

    My $.02 I watch and know a lot about 1970's boxing.

    FOreman did not hit at a 10. The man has ZERO One punch knockouts against sturdy chins.

    ​​​​​​The only famous KO he has is a against Michael Moore who was a glass jaw and Foreman hit two times in succession.

      Yes, but was stopped in 5 by Brewster and 2 by Corrie Sanders. Might have been fine later in his career though.

        Also in fairness to Ken he was probably past it for Shavers and Cooney. He had said that he never trained with the same intensity after the Yankee Stadium bout with Ali.

          He was not stopped by Brewster. He was exhausted and the ref called it off

              Foreman was not a top drawer puncher? RUBBISH!

                  Definitely for Cooney! Norton was 35 for Shavers. A bit past his prime. This fight does not mean he had a glass jaw. He was facing an all time puncher and older. His strategy ******. He should have moved early and boxing while doing it especially in the early rounds! Kenny fought many top ten contenders and had a good boxing heart. And good boxing skills and stamina to got 15+ rounds. But he was rather low in boxing IQ They call it ring gereralship.

                    First drugging in boxing history I ever heard of was early 1800s England when a fighter refused to throw a fight, they poisoned his water.

                    Need to study up on English history…
