Shaver's Punching Power Is Completely Overrated.

[Rassclot]

Ali disagrees with you.

Does Shavers punch harder than Lennox Lewis?









No is the correct answer. Shannon Briggs said Vitali punches harder than Lennox.


End game.

I agree with TS. Shavers did hit hard, but he doesn't have any good 1 punch K.O's. Most were accumulation punches and finally a knock out blow. He fought a lot of bums too. I think vitali in his prime hit harder. I've seen vitali just tap people and their lights get completely shut off. Shavers had to wind up and drop 3+ bombs on his opponent head to stop them

Tua takes Shaver's hardest shot and knocks him out cold.

Remember shavers lost to that bum Tex Cobb, couldnt put him away. Couldnt even put holmes away with his best shot. Vitali kills either of those guys.

Vitalis straight right will go down in history as one of the hardest punches in boxing. I cringe thinking what would happen if that 6'7 240 pound beast ever punched me.

Shavers was 210 lbs soaking wet.

Vitali would slap him around like a little girl.


the fools on this forum can't think for themselves.

End game.

Unless you have a fighter who have fought Lewis, Klitchko and Shavers, you assertion can't be proved man.

Ali fought a lot of huge punchers in his career, and keep in mind Sonny Liston was also considered a beast. So, for Ali to lay that flattering title upon Shavers really says a lot about Shavers pop.
