was shavers the hardest puncher in history?.

[JOM'S]

unless he had crap defense a weak chin and very little boxing skill ala shavers!

lol,,,,,one of the most ignorant posts of all time. if a guy had the greatest power,,,but weak chin,,,no defense,,,,bad stamina,,,inaccuracy etc,,, he would still be a dominant champ?

lol you guy have a point there guys but shaver is not that crappy as you mentioned ...

and beez721 i dont f_cking like you!! LOL

it cant be proven, so we cannot answer yes or no

well opponents saying shavers hit the hardest seems to be proof for people that shavers was the hardest puncher and opponents of tyson saying that other fighters hit harder seems to be proof for people that tysons power was overrated and that he wasent even in the top 50 hardest punchers in heavyweight history.

idk if he was the hardest puncher but shavers is def up there...

you could tell how powerful his punches were

earnie shavers had incredible punching power, ali said that shavers was the hardest puncher he ever faced, that includes foreman and frazier, but i dunno, that's hard to say, ali never got hit by tyson, plus there's been so many hard punchers over the years inlcuding all divisions, there's been so many smaller fighters who, pound for pound, may hit harder than him, i dunno

it cant be proven, so we cannot answer yes or no

but you can make an educated guess

almost all welknown boxing historians believe he did. i have watched hundreds of fights with bog punchers such as tyson foreman benn hearns and shavers and i strognly believe that he had the hardest punch

true i think seeing someone against a prime holmes makes them look crap no matter who they are but shavers was far from slick!

i think the punch tyson knocked holmes down with was harder than the punch shavers knocked holmes down with. Tyson hit holmes on his cheekbone . Shavers hit holmes on the jaw . It is easier to knock someone out hitting them on the jaw. When holmes got up against tyson he was shaking his head he didnt know where he was . He needed to clear his head .When he got up against shavers his senses were more intact.
