"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.
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.)
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.
