Who Could Survive Their Own Power?

[OctoberRed]

Fury, hit himself with a vicious uppercut

[QueensburyRules]

- -To be fair to Fury, he's one of the few supersized heavies who can fight inside, and the usual clip provided is often incomplete. His uppercut had just rebounded of his opponents thick forehead.

Who would win in a fight with their perfect duplicate? That's the greater question being posed here.

Maybe someone like big mouth Pauli would have no qualms about fighting the popcorn hisself, but sluggers like Dempsey and Foreman would be less inclined to fight themselves knowing the punishment being dished out.

[The Old LefHook]

Last night watched an interview with black heavyweight Leroy Caldwell who fought Shavers, Lyle & Foreman. He says Shavers hit harder. He described it as different from the other twain's punch, which we already knew, sharper, which we also knew.

The other two might have almost taken their own punch, but I believe Shavers could not come close to taking his own punch. Of course, he couldn't come close to taking theirs either. His kind of punch probably produces more one punch KO's, at least cleaner ones a la Julian Jackson.
