Before Stewart lost to the likes of Holyfield and Tyson, he was considered a real prospect and a threat. However--- he showed great heart, determination, and a solid chin (surprisingly) against George Foreman in their ten round battle. In a sense, he reminds me of Shavers in the fact that both men could be beaten early in fights if someone could take their best shots and just keep on firing on them. It's a 50/50 in a way, concerning Stewart.

As for both Byrd and Moorer I can't really see Earnie having much success with them, for they were fast and elusive and had good chins. As for Smith--- he was big and strong and certainly took Mike Tyson's best shots in what was one of the dullest matches I ever seen, but he was so big and open to be hit at times, I cant help but think of all these men here that Smith would be the one most likely to be sparked out.

Shavers KO's all of them except Chris Byrd. Who he almost never lands a clean shot against. He'd be losing to Moorer prior to catching him and taking him out with a bomb of a right hand.

That sounds right. I think a peak Smith is style-wise the toughest fight for Earnie. Not sure I'd be on Bonecrusher, but I think it's close to 50/50.

Shavers knocks out the rest.
