The Strongest Punch in Boxing History. "PUNCHER OF THE CENTURY" Earnie Shavers. In one of his interviews after finishing his career, Earnie Shavers said that if it weren't for boxing, he would most likely have become a "killer", since his criminal environment was pulling him down a "slippery slope". Earnie really liked the luxurious life of a gangster, but an old friend saved him from this step, who once invited him to a boxing gym. The trainer, seeing potential in the guy, persuaded him to take up boxing and assured him that he could become a World Champion and get the life he dreams of. Earnie caught fire and set himself the goal of becoming a boxer and breaking out of poverty. In this issue, you will see the brightest moments of the career of Earnie Shavers, one of whose nicknames was "Puncher of the Century". And his magnificent confrontations with Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes.

In boxing, learning to take a punch is just as crucial as throwing one. I realized this during one of my early sparring sessions. I was focused on my offense, landing jabs and hooks, but then came a hard hit I didn’t see coming. It rocked me, and for a moment, I lost my balance. That’s when I understood—boxing isn’t just about how well you can fight, but also how well you can absorb and recover from a blow. Taking a hit teaches you resilience. It’s about staying calm under pressure, maintaining your stance, and not letting the punch shake your confidence. When you can take a punch and keep going, you show not only your physical strength but your mental toughness too. In the ring, the ability to endure and respond after getting hit is what separates good fighters from great ones.
