[edit]

I had the pleasure to be invited to a friday lunch club at the Copthorne Hotel Birmingham,by Gray Promotions, the main attraction being Ernie Shavers, a most modest person who scored 67 K Os in 76 wins,to listen of his ups and downs for almost 1hour was one of the highlights of my boxing career, which stretchs back 60 years.Regards to all the boxingman

Why that?

[edit]

"during his early career Shavers had a reputation for exhausting himself before round 7, rarely winning a bout that went beyond eight rounds."

Before fighting Ali, Shavers had only 6 fights that went over 8 rounds or more. He won four, one draw, one loss. Can't see how he should have had a reputation like that and no source is given. --2A00:14D8:400B:30:E88F:E5CC:E3D8:28E6 (talk) 14:40, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
