James tillis said that tyson hit harder than shavers.

Larry Holmes said Shavers hit harder than Tyson!

And Shavers was past his prime when he fought Tillis, and Holmes fought a prime Tyson and a slightly past his prime Shavers.

i think Shavers is the Hardest Puncher,Tyson is not even in the top 5

[Kid Achilles]

Tyson is not even in the top ten for punching power in my opnion. He hit hard, but nothing exceptional. The things that were amazing about Tyson were his accuracy, handspeed, and the angles he attacked from.

Ditto. I've never heard Tillis comment about Tyson hitting harder than Shavers. Tillis does have an autobiography called 'Thinkin Big.' I'm sure it would be mentioned in that book

In one interview, here is what Tillis had to say about Tyson:

“I thought he had potential, but with that said, if you boxed him, you could beat him. So many of his opponents stood right in front of him and he will heat you to death when you do that.” Tillis’ observation proved correct when Buster Douglas defeated Tyson by out boxing him and later Holyfield and Lewis would followed up on Douglas strategy and easily beat Tyson. (Tillis was the first fighter to go the distance with Tyson before losing the decision.)
