without fighting for a couple of years. Then he came back to win a couple of
fights. He is on his way back. I think he is one of the best outta there in this
moment, his biggest flaw is (or being) he is a little slow (he is very very big
for his height).This guy ain't Earnie Shavers. If he is Earnie Shavers,
I am Ron Lyle. The first post seemed plausible tough.|

theme, well he lives in the UK with his English wife and the first post was
correct in saying that he lives in Wolverhampton, a non-descript town just
outside Birmingham. A national broadsheet wrote an excellent peice a couple of
years ago on how Earnie became a 'greeter' for a club in Liverpool. I can't
imagine that this particular establishment had too much trouble! I have seen him
advertised in both boxing and general sporting magazines doing talks and
auctions for boxing clubs over the country.Although I have no clue
whether the posts are genuine or not (the first probably was) I think it is
important to realise that Earnie is hugely religious and as we have seen with
Big George, this can often a previous confident man to being very humble and
reserved about his achievements. Even Larry Holmes who may not have been the
easiest boxer to get on with, declared his respect and affection for Earnie
before and after their battles. If George can claim that Patterson and Quarry
would have beaten him, it is not unreasonable for Shavers to suggest that
Frazier would had one over him.Given Shavers' immense power, Ali's
victory over him at the very end of his career was undoubtedly one of his best
performances.|

Everyone i thought i would come to this site to ask for some advice to help me
decide what i want to do after the army, yes it is 4 years away but i will only
be 23 when i get out, I have been seriously contemplating following in the
footsteps of my father and although i am many years behind i do believe with my
hard work and dedication it could become a reality, right now i am 6'1 217 lbs
and no i am in no way fat when i was lifting weights in i iraq i was up to 225
but i dont hit it as hard now as i did then, i also worked with some people over
there on my boxing skills and although i definately dont have the experiance or
the know how now i believe that if i trained for the next 4 years before i get
out, that just maybe i would have a shot at taking it to the next level, i am
just so dissappointed in the heavyweight division right now, everyone doing
stuff just for the money, the heart will and desire just dont seem to be there
anymore, you dont see the fire in guys eyes anymore, they just dont look hungry,
and that needs to change, Anyway i was just trying to get peoples thoughts on
the subject, i know the risks i am well aware of it and i see what boxing can
do,Someone needs to step up and take the reigns and i hope maybe someday after a
few years of working hard and of course some experiance that just maybe i will
be ready to get that shot, anyway everyones opinion would be greatly
appreciated, take care and god bless|
