He is known as the hardest one-punch hitter in history

[Joeyzagz]

Holmes got up in like 3 seconds

Shavers has a low K.O%

Shavers has 69 KOs.

How many Heavyweights got 69 KOs? Seriously.

P4P Jackson is the hardest hitter

This ain't P4P though.

Shavers is the hardest hitting HW.



Beautiful overhand!

no mention of Sonny Liston? ..........Rockin'

The poster known as "Forza" has proven himself to be the lb4lb weakest poster in this forum.

A real a*s.

"The Hawk" Jackson, a jr middleweight version of Shavers, being outboxed. However ...



By the way, before being an established name, Jackson was halted in two rounds by legendary Mike McCallum in 1986. "Bodysnatcher" McCallum, never stopped in a 55-fight career, later said that the hardest punches he ever felt were the ones delivered by Jackson in the opening round.

The only bizarre thing - Jackson didn't carry his power up in weight at all. He could turn a planet into space junk with one shot, seemingly, but Gerald McLellan said he felt like a welterweight was hitting him when they fought. Bizarre indeed.

Not bizarre at all when you consider that boxers routinely talk a lot of junk that shouldn't be taken at face value.

Beautiful overhand!

Based on what? Knocking down but not knocking out a bunch of fighters. Watch Lennox smack Rahman about then come back to me.

Shavers is the most overrated puncher outside of Tyson (and I consider Tyson a harder one punch puncher than Shavers, and I'll be plenty happy to back that up with video evidence if necessary.)

Shavers has 69 KOs.

How many Heavyweights got 69 KOs? Seriously.

The number of knockouts is irrelevant. The manner and quality of the knockouts however is.

[nomadman]

seems like alot of hard hitters are just arm punchers

Shavers wasn't an arm puncher. He launched himself into shots, especially his right hand.

[nomadman]

Oh really? Based on what?

Based on Larry Holmes head almost coming off his sholders?

Or just based on his numerous knockout victories?

Show me a pic of Homles's head almost coming off his shoulders. Otherwise your comment is just like all the other comments exaggerating Shavers's power with ridiculous hyperbolic quotes that don't match the reality of what they claim to illustrate.
