@@barbelljoe Yup, Shavers, Foreman, Liston, quiet a few of those boxers hit harder than Mike Tyson so it really says something of why they call that era the monster era & why today's boxers wouldn't survive it🙏‼️
I met Earnie once, he was doing the doors in Liverpool. I wasn’t sure who he was but the other bouncer said ‘this is Earnie Shavers, he fought Ali’, so I said hello, chatted for a minute and wondered off. He seemed like a very nice man. Now I’m reading all these quotes and thinking, I shook the hand of the greatest puncher that ever lived.
@@noelharris1177 - that some mind blowing toughness by Holmes. Bro, if you haven't already, listen to a good clip of that shot with it cranked up - sounds like a gunshot.
Ernie used to work the door at Yates in Liverpool. Met him a good few times. Always a gentleman and immaculately dressed with a suit and overcoat. RIP Ernie
Imagine getting rowdy and seeing Earnie Shaves coming to throw you out. You are drunk so you swing on him thinking your a hard man and next thing you know your head has detached from your body.
Not almost... it was CRAZY!! There were boxers, there were punchers, there were boxer-punchers AND there were puncher-boxers... you had to be GREAT to win a title in the 70's...
To top it off there were Brawlers. All of these guys had to whip a lot of ass on the streets and when their careers were developing. Go back to that era watch some fights and really watch them work. From the Raging Bull to Tyson to modern fighters there are some fearsome men to behold.
This is so crazy I never even heard of shavers until a few days ago but when I started watching videos of him boxing my lord I can feel his punches through the damn phone r.i.p mr.shavers I’ll pray for him tonight in I hope he lived a great wholesome life 🙏🏾

I watched ernie shavers fight Larry Holmes, and thought shavers had the fight when he floored Holmes. But to Holmes credit, he got up, and eventually won the fight. Not many could've done that.
@@davidlitchke4964 I think Larry stylistically was just a nightmare to those big names from the Ali era. I think he just started getting complacent later down his reign. The Holmes that fought Ray Mercer looked better than the Holmes that fought Spinks and most people thought that Holmes won the 2nd Spinks fight anyway.
@@Priceluked Larry Holmes is and was the dirtiest fighter in boxing history. He thumbed Ernie Shavers in the eye on purpose to win the fight and Shavers ended up with blurred vision in that eye. He was hitting Larry Holmes so hard, Larry Holmes dead ancestors were telling Larry to hurry up and thumb that man in his eye, because we (the dead ancestors) can feel those punches in the grave. Ernie had to have eye surgery he was never the same. Dayum you Larry you a dirty dog!!!! Larry did dirty things to boxers he knew he couldn't beat
Talking to Quick Tillis one day, he told me Tyson hit hard but Shavers punch was on another level. He said Shavers hit him and pain would shoot through his elbow two minutes later or his back would seize up. Tillis said you would feel a Shavers punch throughout your entire body for days...
Ernie Shavers is in Heaven right now. I had lunch with him at Wendy's on St.Croix in 1991. He gave me an autographed portrait and he spoke of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lyle and Foreman threw their punches like slow giants. Maybe it's because these were such huge guys. And they had a ridiculously brutal and amazing fight. Earnie was powerful too but his punches had a snap to it unlike the others, it was properly thrown, had form, and even had some speed to it too. Wish we had more competitive fights with Sonny Liston in his prime too then we could hear more about how hard he hit, but likely it was on the level of Foreman and Lyle.
@@jwill5892 He was. And he was much smaller than Foreman/Lyle/Shavers (Shavers was also not as big as Foreman and Lyle). But what made Marciano so special was his endurance. Power punches take a lot of energy from the fighter, and Marciano could throw full power punches all night long in crazy numbers. Most of his knockouts came from the insane volume of punches thrown by him.
Suprised Death actually came calling for Shavers, from what I've heard he hit Death one time so hard that he turned him into bones. R.I.P to one of the greats 👌
@@russcooke5671 listen. if you know that foremen used to one punch fighters like it was nothing.ali took that beating with parkinsons in early stages.he had a leg injury which made him not move as fast as he could. he withstood all of those punches for 6 rounds and he still said that ernie shavers is stronger compared to foremen. many people who fough foremen and tyson say that foremen wins. think about ernie shavers punch
There were 2 boxer that put Big George Forman on the floor. Had George fought Ernie, it would have been 3. George had one big draw back when boxing. He could take a punch and he knew it. So when you hear people that fought Ernie and they say without any question, Ernie Shavers is the hardest hitting man. Yeah, you might have to take that to the bank. Now I wished there was a real way of telling who was and wasn't. Cause at 212lbs Deontay Wilder had a serious overhand right. But I still don't think he could hit as hard as Big George, muchless Ernie.
Big George was a legend and both his power and chin spoke for itself, both shining through in his record. 81 fights, 76 wins, 68 wins by knockout, 5 losses, and only one loss by knockout. Only knocked down by three men in his whole career that spanned two different generations of great heavyweights.
I met Ernie in Vegas, he was at a small sports memorabilia store. Selling and autographing books. Nobody was there, we talked for two hours, he told me stories. His time with Stallone, helping young kids, his fights. He imitated a punch to the palm of his off hand. Every muscle in his body coiled and rippled like a lion chasing a gazelle on the plains. It was beautiful and scary at the same time. But my biggest takeaway was meeting a very sweet man. I will forever cherish those two hours…Prayers to you up above!
I remember seeing Evander Holyfield in an interview once saying old George Foreman hit harder than Mike Tyson. I've seen multiple interviews where guys who shared the ring with both Foreman & Shavers said Shavers was the bigger puncher. The most terrifying thing about all this is the fact that Muhammad Ali took both prime Foreman's & prime Shavers best punches and beat them both when Ali was WAY past his prime 👀
Ali was a very special human being. A man who made Sonny Liston seems an amateur twice, Foreman seems like a fool, swallowed atomic bombs by Shavers and faced Smoking Joe 44 rounds coming close to die definitely is not a common person. He seemed more a shounen anime character.
@@MajorG13 my friend imagine him with parkinsons, being in prison couldnt train properly, he had a leg injury and he still continued. if he didnt have parkinsons and he didnt even have the leg injury becz of the mma fighter. he would've stayed on top for a long time.
Deontay wilder 🤣 😂 no particular order my ass. Wilder is not a hard hitter...no one hit as hard as Mike tyson. The footage proves it along with his fastest ever k.o. ratio...stop it already.

Nah,Shavers hits harder.Ali himself stated and he fought both Liston and Shavers. George was also Liston' sparring partner,but he still claimed that Shavers hits harder.
He spent a while in Liverpool and seemed to be very popular with people from all over the city no matter whether rich or poor everyone seemed to have a story about him sad loss

strange how its never the strongest survive the longest... young men grow weary but those who put their trust in The Lord Almighty, renew their strength
Yeah Ernie shavers was not well known for being a great all around boxer especially in the generation of boxers he was in but one thing was undisputed and that was he hit like a Mac truck
Incredibly arrogant of you. Tyson avoided fighting older Foreman like the plague. Also just scientifically, bigger men with longer arms and more muscle tend to hit harder.
Larry Holmes, who fought both Tyson and Shavers, said that Tyson's punch was like a Ferrari crashed into you, and Shavers' punch was like a truck flew into you
@@redrain860 Hey Numb Nuts, go look up the interview of George Foreman talking about IRON MIKE it's not hard to find Forman states: "I wanted no part of Mike Tyson he was a scary man I avoided him like the plague" face the FACTS!!!!! BEAAAAAACH!!!!!!
@@ganDONMorello This is correct Larry did say this. Shavers is definitely up there as one of the hardest punchers in boxing history but what seperates IRON MIKE from the rest of the fighters in the history of the heavyweight division is that IRON MIKE is the youngest heavyweight champion the youngest undisputed heavyweight champion and has the most first round KO's, he had power, precision and unbelievable head movement not to mention foot work that hadn't been displayed since Mohammed Ali.

He just passed away. RIP

Yes I saw that. Never saw him in any late interviews either.
Rest In Paradise 😘
A must watch
Gotta be old
Yeah Ernie shavers was not well known for being a great all around boxer especially in the generation of boxers he was in but one thing was undisputed and that was he hit like a Mac truck
Did Forman fight Shavers?
To be fair they never felt Tyson's power and I bet tyson would have whipped all them
Incredibly arrogant of you. Tyson avoided fighting older Foreman like the plague. Also just scientifically, bigger men with longer arms and more muscle tend to hit harder.
Larry Holmes, who fought both Tyson and Shavers, said that Tyson's punch was like a Ferrari crashed into you, and Shavers' punch was like a truck flew into you
@@redrain860 Hey Numb Nuts, go look up the interview of George Foreman talking about IRON MIKE it's not hard to find Forman states: "I wanted no part of Mike Tyson he was a scary man I avoided him like the plague" face the FACTS!!!!! BEAAAAAACH!!!!!!
@@ganDONMorello This is correct Larry did say this. Shavers is definitely up there as one of the hardest punchers in boxing history but what seperates IRON MIKE from the rest of the fighters in the history of the heavyweight division is that IRON MIKE is the youngest heavyweight champion the youngest undisputed heavyweight champion and has the most first round KO's, he had power, precision and unbelievable head movement not to mention foot work that hadn't been displayed since Mohammed Ali.
@@One-bu9qn I understand this, but you said that they did not feel the POWER of Tyson and, to be objective, Tyson really did not have the strongest punch in the history of boxing
I read the title as "hardest Hitler in boxing"
Tyson vs shavers imagine
Tyson is the most over rated athlete of ALL TIME
If you ever saw Shavers fight then you know it wouldn't take long. He had a terrible chin and no stamina. Total mismatch.
@@rogertwitty8221 You are a funny guy. He is the fastest youngest most powerful heavyweight champ of all time.
@@TheHitman- nope
@@sumiokodai1652 No he actually is the youngest heavyweight champion of the world ever. He is the fastest most powerful heavyweight of all time...if you don't have proof to the contrary...don't waste yourself...
Earnie shavers was the hardest puncher yet he never won a title....that sucks
