What's this?

Ernie Shavers……

Huge plus for mentioning Ernie “the acorn” Shavers! That was an incredible heavyweight era and I was just a small kid cutting my teeth on that! I am loving this reincarnation of heavyweight boxing…..but yeah these cats are soooo much bigger than fighters of the past

Wilder has 42 wins - 41 by knockout. He is a top fighter all time as well. -- Coach McGuirk 10/10/2021 9:11PM
