About Me

Earnie Dee Shaver, better known as Earnie Shavers, is an American former professional boxer and is widely considered the hardest puncher of all time. Muhammad Ali, Joe Bugner, Larry Holmes, Randall "Tex" Cobb, Ron Lyle and Ken Norton all credited Shavers as being the hardest puncher they had ever faced in the ring.

Shavers took up boxing at the late age of 22, yet two weeks later he won his first ever fight by a first round knockout, against Jim Daniels. Earnie worked out daily in Warren, Ohio. He was generally in and out of the top ten ratings for no less than about a ten year period.

Shavers was a heavy-handed puncher who stalked his opponents in order to set them up for his thunderous right, which accounted for many of his knockouts. Sometimes ungraceful and without accuracy, Earnie was known to exhaust himself before round 7, perhaps lack of proper training facilities, and critics argued he rarely won a bout that went longer than 8 rounds. But he fought Ali well for 15 rounds however and Holmes for 11 of. Earnie would throw punches against any legal area he could reach, exposed or covered, relying on his tremendous power to wear down his opponents and exploiting any opening. In fighting stance he made a short and powerful image. His chin was perhaps not as strong as ideal. He could 'box' too as well as slug. Famously he hurt his right hand early in a 10 round match against rated Henry Clark and then nearly jabbed Clarke's head off, beating him at his own game as it were, to win on points.

Earnie currently lives in Las Vegas and does public appearances for corporate and charity events worldwide. He is available for Live Video Appearances for pre and post fight private microcasts - direct to homes and private/public events. He will also interact with you directly during boxing matches to discuss scoring, tactics, strategy, etc. - please provide at least a weeks notice for a booking. Due to his busy schedule, he will typically answer emails once a week on the weekend unless booked in advance.
