Great video ! I felt sorry for some of them guys ! Them punches look like they could cause brain damage ! He easily could be champ in todays era ! I don't think many of todays heavyweights would get up from some of them punches ! He was in a tough era ! Probably the toughest ! Norton,Frazier,Ali,Holmes, and Foreman !It was made by me.
He could hurt you with any punch, even if it was only grazing. Lights out if one of his right hands landed flush.
Shavers had a ton of heart too, the comeback against Roy Williams was among the greatest that I've ever seen. Holmes and Ali said Shavers was very hard to hit, until he ran out of stamina of course.Comment

Talkin' about punchers. Boxers who faced both Tyson and Foreman, either for real or in sparring, told that the Tyson punches really snapped. They were awful. But, when it came to damaging, the delivery by ol' George did HURT you more.
About the 7th round Shavers-Holmes. It's said no fighter has ever raised from such a devastating punch before. Holmes must have been in absolutely top form that evening, managing to do the impossible.Comment
