Earnie Shavers demonstratably is a power puncher only when viewed against Cruiserweights.
As soon as we limit the sieve of competition to 215lbs (reinflated modern cruiser or a BIG HW back in Earnie's day) SUDDENLY, his power is non-existent!
Of course it's even worse since Shavers IS a borderline HW and so has no business at all p4p.
Without further question I think it's either Mike Tyson or David Haye.
In fact these 2 guys are the only 2 worth considering in reality.
Closest thing would be Tommy Morrison but at 226lbs he was not exactly small.
