I've seen limited footage of Satterfield but from what I've seen I would have to say the bigger, harder punching Shavers wins this.

I've seen some Satterfield on film, hard puncher...but I always thought he was a light heavyweight...Have to give the edge to Shavers, a full fledged heavyweight and one of the hardest punchers ever...Satterfield wasn't a slick defensive fighter (based on what I saw)...he looked hitable...but, I suppose he could get lucky and land on Shavers first...

..satterfield could box a little when he wanted to, but usually he wanted to get out on the town early...and also knew when he wasn't in condition for more than a few rounds.

he and shavers are similar....very dangerous early....fade as the rounds go on. satterfield was dynamite....but i think...as already said...shavers.....just on the basis that he was a big full fledged heavyweight and satterfield at his heaviest was no bigger than 185..and more often at 180....and spent the earlier part of his career as a light heavy.

I'd would have to give the advantage to Shavers as I think he had a little better chin, but I would say that it would mainly just be a case of who landed first as both could knock people unconcious with one shot!

I'd go for Shavers... people are always saying Shavers didn't have a great chin but I think his problame was more stamina related... the 1st round defeat to Quarry shouldn't be held up as proving Earnie had a weak chin. It would be a short but wild fight and I see Earnie winning by KO in about 2 rounds. Satterfield was probably at his best as a Lightheavy imo...

Cmon Koj....how else is a guy gonna stick to the subject?

Come to think of it there is some glue on the back of the Label on that Corona bottle, and the bottle itself has been empty since last weekend...Maybe sniffin about is warranted.
