Former heavyweight contender Ron Stander: Warrior
“He hit me with everything,” recalled Stander at a Starbucks coffee house in Brentwood, CA. “Hardest puncher in heavyweight history. His punches were like a night stick. Snap!"
Stander dug deep and came back in rounds three and four. He bounced hard shots off Shavers’ head. He wouldn’t stop punching until Shavers collapsed in a heap in round five.
