Nice opinion.

It is. Thank you. It's also one I can back up with video evidence without having to resort to a bunch of crusty old quotes.

Wlad, Ortiz and Wilder and probably some others hit harder today. The heavyweights who hit harder from the past are too numerous to name them all. Tyson, Lewis, Louis, Liston,Shavers and Foreman to name a few. He is a good puncher but not a great puncher.

[boliodogs]

Shavers became famous for his punching power because he punched very hard. His huge punch is his only claim to fame. He was never a champion or an outstanding all around fighter but he certainly punched extremely hard. The fighters who fought him including Ali and Holmes all said he was a terrific puncher. Most boxing fans who saw him fight would rate him a harder puncher than Fury. Fury would beat him but not because he hit harder.

shavers took out norton faster than george

shavers rocked ali, foreman didnt phase ali

shavers blew out a glove

everyone that fought both shavers and foreman said shavers hit harder

everyone that fought foreman and not shavers said foreman hit hardest

shavers made larry unconscious in 1 punch Tyson took many many shots to make him go, the final one on the button, shavers was a single skull shot (sure larry got up but if you understand how conciousness is lost via a loss of electrolytes, and how much harder it is to put someone out with 1 shot compared to many and how long they stay out and why, you will clearly understand that Shavers hit harder than Tyson)

I could go on, but your just a troll who knows I like shavers

[LetOutTheCage]

Foreman and Shavers

Cooney took out Norton faster and more brutally than Shavers.

Frazier and Henry Cooper knocked down a young Ali, Shavers just rocked a shot version.

Tyson knocked Holmes out. Shavers knocked him down.

Foreman stopped Lyle. Lyle stopped Shavers.

Shavers has one one-punch knockout on film. Tyson has dozens.

The fact that you feel the need to write that nonsense in bold shows that you're just an idiot who's unwilling to let go of a myth and will do anything to justify that myth, including indulging in pseudo-science with no basis in fact (and which makes no logical sense anyway). Tyson was not only a better finisher than Shavers, he was a better one-punch knockout artist as well.

Shavers is the most overrated puncher in the sport.

Is it really who hits harder or who hits better. Because Tyson I think is not the most powerful guy in HW history, more like the guy who probably threw punches better than his opponents. Like You can lift more weight, be bigger, be stronger, beat someone in arm wrestling, but then they know how to throw a punch better than you and they seemingly have more impact on their punch. The speed, delivery and compactness in which Tyson threw his punches was very important in his KO's. Of course, Tyson was strong himself, and well built, but he was usually undersized, shorter, with shorter arm length. Tyson had the height and reach of your current average MW. Back in the day he would have been a perfect HW though, in the days of Marciano where HW's were just 190-200lbs, 5'9" - 6', 6'3" at most.

Looking at his record, he was the perfect HW in his own era too. If only he'd kept away from the ******* and the gold-diggers.

I get your meaning though. He was really no bigger than the greats of much earlier eras, like Dempsey, Louis, and Marciano.

let me tell you something about boxing, n00b

Fighters ALWAYS tend to praise those whom they defeat

when someone like Ali or Holmes claim stuff like ¨SHavers is the hardest puncher ever and hardest I've ever fought¨ they are really praising themselves because they survived shavers ¨the hardest puncher ever¨. they're just full of wank

anyway, none of those undersized old timers fought a true Heavyweight or Super Heavyweight. even Foreman, who was considered a monster back in the day, would be small ass heavy today, they all would be considered blown up cruisers today.

So comparing a bumbeater cw like Shavers with real powerpunching super Hw's like Wlad or Lewis is pure *****s

and when it comes to Tyson, his size, frame and type of opposition he destroyed (including Holmes, whom Shavers couldn't finish) should tell you he hits harder than Shavers.

Agree 100%

People get caught up in myths e.g. "omg Shavers!!!"
