      I'd like to add Maidana vs Mayweather 2 when Maidana countered Floyd pull counter whit a picture perfect right straight or the right hand Mosley caught Mayweather with, both were clean hard full power shots. May has a hell of a chin on him.

        Typical BS from Holmes.

              Shavers is a well spoken, likeable guy. In an interview while working as a "Greeter" at a night club, he was asked what that implies. He smiled and said

              "If you make it through all the doorman, then I'm standing there to GREET you"

              with a wink and a smile.

                No he didn't... He got caught going back and thought he was past the punch when Frazier set him up for that punch. You don't go back when you are rolling you take an angle, move in a circle.

                Thats why I think that was the "monster" punch personally.

                    It wasnt a monster punch, it was monstrous for Fraizier but feeble compared to the average foreman or shavers punch so its totally disregarded as a good answer
