Jeff Merritt vs Earnie Shavers

[Nile4000]

15 rounds, circa 1972-1973, who wins?

Shavers would overpower Merritt behind his powerful left jabs and setting him up with his devastating right hand on the jaw to knock Merritt out in 4 rounds.

2 guys who either knock you the hell out or get knocked the hell out.
This would be fun for 2 - 4 rounds.
9 out of 10 times Shavers takes this one by brutal ko. The 10th time Merritt catches Shavers.
Shavers was the far better fighter

I strongly agreed.
