"No one can hit like Ernie Shavers"
"He had a great shot. If he caught you with his shot, your whole life would flash before your eyes and you'd be trying to remember what I'm doing here? Ernie Shavers had the best shot," said Foreman.
The impressive career of Ernie Shavers
Ernie Shavers had 91 fights in his career, 70 of which ended in knockout. Such statistics speak for themselves and demonstrate how dangerous an opponent he was in the ring. His blows were so strong that even the strongest fighters could not resist them.
Comparison with other great boxers
The history of boxing knows many outstanding fighters with powerful punches. However, according to Foreman, it is Shavers who deserves the title of the strongest. His punch was not only powerful, but also accurate, making him a real threat to any opponent. Recalling his fights, Foreman repeatedly emphasized that even the legendary Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier could not match Shavers in this aspect.
Historical context
Ernie Shavers performed at a time when boxing was at its peak. He fought against such famous heavyweights as Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes, which only adds to his fame. His fights became part of the golden fund of boxing, and his name will forever remain in the history of this sport.
