Shavers KO'd Stallone?

[STILL_DETOX]

uring the early '80s while preparing for the feature film Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone explored the possibility of using a real heavyweight boxer in the role of James "Clubber" Lang by inviting Earnie Shavers to spar with him. Shavers initially refused to hit Stallone with anything other than a soft jab. This frustrated Stallone, who asked Shavers, "C'mon Earnie, show me something real." Earnie responded by punching him once near the liver, forcing an immediate retirement; Stallone later said: "that nearly killed me. I went straight to the men's room and threw up."

The story can possibly be true but Wikepedia is not a great source.

It's true. Joe Frazier KO'd him too.

[Disposable Arts]

He would've detached his retina with a 1-2.

As hard as Shavers hit I refuse to believe he hit harder than a prime Ivan Drago.

Stallone was a middleweight at the most, when he got the oscar for the first rocky movie Ali came out on the stage and looked like a giant next to him.
