    It took Tyson 3 rounds to KO Larry Sims.

    Two years later Shavers at 42 years of age and inactive for more than 4 years KO'd Sims in 1 round.

        Mike Tyson vs Larry Sims fight was never recorded. I have spoken to Tom Patti(Someone who was in Tyson's camp in the beginning) and he said the camera crew didn't show up. So we can't just look at BOXREC and make our conclutions. Maybe he was boxing him for 2 rounds and ko'd him. Who knows.

        But yeah, i dont agree if thats what catskills meant. Shavers obviously had much heavier punches. Maybe he meant that Tyson was a more effective puncher because of his speed. But you never know with him!

            i doubt even the bigest tyson fans would aggree with you, tyson hit hard but a shavers punch was like a lightly padded hammer. having said that i do believe tyson would destroy shavers and probably not get hit by anything meaningful in the process

                  Tyson would definatly beat Shavers, Shavers chin was terrible!

                  okay i will concede that shavers,foreman and maybe liston hit harder than tyson but thats it .
                  And Ron lyle and Cooney.
