Thread: Prime Foreman punched extremly hard...

But imo older, heavier foreman punched alittle harder, less explosive but the punches were more heavier.

i was watching young foreman destroy guys like foreman and norton. everytime he hit either of em, he really hurt em. even with the jab.

but then i watched him against peralta and other journeymen, (peralta is not journeyman nor is he a proper HW) some he destroys but some he hits but they dont go down until hit a few times. he hit peralta with bombs in the first fight and he was fine.
he was hitting guys with the same one two combo that rocked frazier, and they'd still be standing tryna fight back, maybe the punches of young foreman at times were wild and never had much weight behind em, God knows.

now the older and heavier version was brutal, every punch was having an affect on these journeymen. he would hit em with a simple (less explosive ) and the guys used to go down, or WOBBLE BADLY and then go down.

now my question is, which foreman in ur opinion punched harder?

why couldnt a big/brutal puncher like foreman ko these journeymen with the punches frazier or norton -lyle could not take?
was it cos they had awesome chins or foreman wasnt sitting down on his punches?

what i mean, not why he couldnt ko em but, cos he did eventually but it took him a while, accumulation.

Yeah. foreman became better in his older days.

Foreman-Tyson is the fight I wish happened more than any other. Tyson, being in his prime, would've been favored, but the style matchup favored Foreman. Tyson was very much like Frazier-in both style and stature-and we all know what happened to Smokin' Joe. Sure, Foreman could be outboxed as Holyfield and Morrison proved, but that was not Tyson's style.

So you would've had 2 big punchers with good chins coming right at each other. Would Tyson's speed allow him to get to the slow aging Foreman before Big George landed one of his bombs?

Foreman want better as he was older.
He adapted his style to suit his age.
Young Foreman eats everyone alive except ALI- HOLMES- AND LENNOX LEWIS perhaps.
