Shavers who now lives in Liverpool England said that right hand he hit Ali with was a much cleaner shot he hit Holmes and dropped him with.
Ernie Shavers (The nearly man) the Sun July 15 1998
"I had never hit a guy with so many right hands and have him stand, i knew after seven i had a different animal infront of me because i hit him with the hardest shots i ever delivered on a man and he kept talking"
wow shavers was a beast to surprising ali took them shots so well.
from what i've been told, ali said the hardest puncher he ever faced was earnie shavers, but as far as the best shot he's ever taken, it's hard to say, he's taken some serious blows
