    No. Lewis one punch KOed Rahman far more viciously than Shavers did to Ellis. Tyson had numerous legit one punch KOs to his credit. So did Tua. None of these guys is fit to spit-shine Shavers shoes power-wise according to some people. If Shavers stands at the top of the heap then he needs more than a measly one impressive KO to get my vote. I wanna see neck snapping, eyes rolling back, drool coming out of their mouth KOs of the type that the above mentioned three fighters all achieved.



    That may be so, but logic dictates that if fighter A makes his opponents woozy with punches and fighter B knocks his opponent unconscious then fighter B is the harder puncher. I don't consider Tua to be one of the hardest punchers in Heavyweight history just to be cute and go against the grain, I do so because I genuinely believe, based on the video evidence, that he legitimately was one of the hardest punchers ever.
    I don't think what you've described is impossible to find on shavers resume.

    They're are plenty of KO's on his resume and I'll try my best to find one that fits the description you matched. I personally think the Howard Smith one does.

      I'm not saying it is. That's why I asked the question and I've certainly not seen every single Shavers fight out there. Just the famous ones.

      If you can fish something up I'd me most appreciative.

        hi there left hook tua.

          Yes. One thing I do know is that when Tua fights ... anything less than a KO is a letdown. Lolz.

            I'll try my best.

            I haven't seen ANY of Tua's fights except the short pieces you showed me. That's probably why I immediately slammed and ridiculed the assertion that he was one of the hardest hitters ever. Now that you've introduced me to Tua I'm more open to the case for his punching power.

            I'm willing to consider his punching power as ATG. I'll just have to watch his fights to prove/disprive it to myself.
