Top end CWs are 210 on fight night.
Shavers was 210 on fight night. Cruiserweight.
Not much more to say on that topic.
Why are you getting so bent out of shape anyway? I'm saying he's a very hard punching cruiserweight, possibly the hardest ever. That's praise, in case you hadn't noticed.

·Larry Holmes: "Earnie hit me harder than any other fighter, including Mike Tyson. He hit me and I was face down on the canvas hearing saxophonist Jimmy Tillis."
·Tex Cobb: "Earnie could punch you in the neck with his right hand and break your ankle."
·Muhammad Ali: "Earnie hit me so hard, he shook my kinfolk back in Africa"
·Ron Lyle: "Hey man, that's the hardest I've ever been hit in my life. And George Foreman could punch, but none of them could hit like Earnie Shavers did. When he hit you, the lights went out. I can laugh about it now, but at the time,it wasn't funny."
·Ron Lyle: "Hardest he's ever been hit: Earnie Shavers. The ground came up and met me. That's all I remember."
·James "Quick" Tillis: "Shavers hit so hard he turned horse p*ss into gasoline! He hit me so hard he brought back tomorrow. When he hit me… I was seeing pink rats and cats and animals smoking cigarettes. I was in the land of make-believe." "No doubtThe baddest mf'er I fought was Earnie Shavers. That mf'er can make July into June and made me jump over the mf'n moon. He hit me so hard, I thought I was on the corner smoking cigarette and eating a spam sandwich. That's how hard that mf'er hit."
need to think about it...
And going by these first hand accounts it sounds as if he had hallucination inducing punch power.
That's a new one lol
Jesus.....
One thing that always impressed me about this dude was he generated so much power and yet his hands move so damn slow. That practically defies the laws of physics..

Well i rely on actual resumes and footage sotheres not one fight by either that tells me Shavers hit harder than a 220/230 Haye so?
I mean who did he knockout?
ST Gordon punches harder.
Guillermo Jones is a former welterweight, even he punches harder...

Originally posted by StarshipTrooper View PostCalling a Heavyweight "the hardest punching Cruiserweight" is like saying someone is "the smartest 'tard in the Special Ed class". And you damn well know it. The fact that you keep pushing the Cruiserweight label in every post you make in this thread makes it pretty clear your agenda is to troll.

Haye lacked heavy handedness.
