Greatest knockout puncher ever

[Yogi]

AHAHAHAHAHAH, and Shavers was? Holy ****.

Of course Shavers wasn't at his best at that point in time, because he still had hair when he fought Lyle & Young...That little bit of extra weight up top slowed him down some.

prolly the hardest punch is the 13th round knockout of jersey joe/marciano fight...

that is probably the most overrated punch in boxing history IMO.

foreman wasn't at his best when he fought young and lyle.

Lyle fought Foreman in 76 and Shavers in 75.
Young fought Foreman in 77 and shavers in 73.

Take into account Shavers being older than Forman and you've got a crazy statement.

how can it be overrated, u can see still shots of the punch landing and walcotts face twisted n distorted..hell he took awhile to b revived after the punch, oh and another kickass knockout that always gets me is jersey joes winning title effort against ezzard charles, totally unexpected

The hair had a tremendous impact upon Ernie. I always though he should have worn a hair piece in his later career matches... allow me to MS paint what I believe he'd look like.

GREATEST ARGUMENT EVAR!!!!

Seriously, get the **** out of here until you learn how to debate.

he is a ****ing moron and the worst poster on boxing scene. it is not worth arguing with him. i have never used the ignore function until i couldnt tolerate his ******ity anymore.

walcott has a glass chin. that punch wouldn't ko chuvalo, foreman, frazier, ali, or even holmes, holyfield, and tyson.

I figure this is a mid 80's picture of him if he had hair or a wig.

[sleazyfellow]

ok last 13 rounds with a known slugger and u have a glass jaw, i see ur logic

"I decided to shave my head and not smile." - Earnie Shavers

Whoa, not only did his punches pick up a little steam, but it seams from that quote of his that he was also throwing them with more hurtful intentions after doing that...Obviously he went from a nice guy who probably pulled his punches to a friggin menace hellbent on destruction and all with a few flicks of a bic.

Yet the "nice guy" Earnie was still considered a harder puncher than Big George.
