Took a shot from Earnie Shavers like it was nothing
Larry Holmes probably had the greatest chin of all time

Took a shot from Earnie Shavers like it was nothing
Still don’t know how he got up from that
I asked this question in another thread but only person answered. I know Ali and Holmes are know for their jabs. Who had the best one? The one answer I got said Holmes

I say it's Tex Cobb after going the 15 round distance vs Larry despite taking such a beating that Cosell was like 
and stopped calling boxing

Holmes had the GOAT jab IMO

If you're talking pure power, Sonny Liston is up there. But Holmes had the whole package when it came to the jab
the big difference between ali and holmes to me is that ali was biased to his left and holmes was biased to his right. meaning ali circled to his left more than he circled to his right and holmes circled to his right more than he circled to his left. theres different effects that will occur depending on which way you circle.
how ive heard ali's and holmes' jabs described from people who either fought or sparred them is that larry had a hard, quick jab, but ali's jab would make you dizzy and make your whole world spin.

Hagler
One of the GOAT counters.thats how mark wills knocked out greg page.
taking a right hand as you are throwing a right uppercut is the worst way to get hit with a right hand because of the way your body turns into the punch.
The shavers punch and prolly Wilder/Fury are the two nastiest punches I've seen dudes get up from.
