Shaver's Punching Power Is Completely Overrated.

[Fury4daWIN]

And Shavers continues to get venerated based on little to no video evidence. When is somebody going to bring up Holmes or Ali again?

Alot of people is crazy followers why would you people still keep repeating those dumb quotes like they mean something words cant go over vid the poster was right mutiple people hit harder off of tech and just power like joe its nobody that can say looking at how joe hit ali say he didnt hurt ali more cause of tech

Joe dropped ali do people forget that

Do people forget how lennox could not just hurt people bad but have their lights off from a hard jab

Son was way overrated and tech wasnt the best why would people still say that dumb quote of he hit the hardest of of some outdated quotes people so dumb wake up

Disrespectful post here. You're in idiot, and this thread is awful. Earnie Shavers had 69 KOs in 75 wins. Ali said Shavers hit him the hardest, and keep in mind Ali fought Foreman, Frazier and Liston. How the **** could you even say Shannon Briggs would know better than Ali? Are you a moron?

Disrespect telling the truth your crazy

Ron Lyle fought Foreman and Shavers and says that Shavers was on "another level".
Quick Tillis fought Tyson and Shavers and said that Mike "hit like a sissy" in comparison.

If you're looking for an overrated puncher, start in Tuscaloosa Alabama.

The guy knocked out 68 of 74 wins.
There is so much footage of his knockouts & fights. He hurt & knocked down and almost flatlined some of the greatest fighters couple with the greatest chins the worlds ever seen.
Just about if not every fighter who fought him claimed without any hesitation he was the hardest puncher they had ever been in with and most had shared the ring with the likes of Foreman, Quarry etc etc

How anyone can say his power is overrated is beyond me.
Too think he was barely even 200lbs.

The guys punches even sounded different when they landed, like gunshots.

There are a lot of myths and exaggerations in boxing in particular bias towards the older generation but Shavers power was absolutely legit as it gets.

His punch power is not overrated but he is overrated as a fighter. Limited boxing ability, glass chin, limited ring IQ etc.. I think Wilder hits siginifcantly harder than him. Foreman has some cases.

wilder is probably the most powerful puncher ever, his power is speed and explosiveness and innate ability based.

Those funfair punch balls are the indicators of power anything else is opinion and hearsay.

I will, he veggied Ali. Shaves threw pole-axe's, every shot was s death blow. Sorry not sorry you're a dosser!
