Corner #19
Earnie Shaver
Legen Heavyweight
74-14 (68 KO)
Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame
21 :30
On this episode Co Smitty down w E Shavers is known as one of the hardest
punchers in Boxing history but was never able to win the Heavyweight title. Not without trying though. Had he not
competed in the Golden Age of Heavyweights, he most certainly would have won a title. His resume is good as they
come facing the likes of Ali, Norton and Holmes. He may be soft spoken outside of the ring, but his 68 KO's spoke
volumes inside the Squared Circle
Earnie got in the ring with Smitty in this episode and demonsrated where his awesome
knockout power came from. Luckily for Smitty, he didn't unleash it on him!
