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
