    I'll never forget the right hand he dropped Michael Moorer with. It looked like George just raised his arm and dropped it on Moorer. That, my friends, is freakish power.
    Thats also, a light heavyweights chin... What other world class heavies did Foreman KO in his comeback?

    Other than David Tua, who punched like a mule kick, Moorer was never KO'ed by any other heavyweight. So his chin couldn't have been all that bad. And like M said, this was an old Foreman, not to be confused with the earlier version. And yet he still managed a one-punch KO, something many other HW's were unable to do to Moorer.

    Moorer did have a weak chin and I hate him for losing to Foreman when he had the fight easily won. Moorer was wobbled by Alex Stewart, knocked down 200 times by Bert Cooper and Holyfield. Foreman knocked him out.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The boxing landscape is littered with dreams, schemes, upsets and especially disappointments, so stop hating and start accepting.
    Foreman vs Moorer was a fun fight for me, seeing Atlas begging Moorer to stay away from Foreman and Moorer doing the opposite, plus seeing that old boxing axiom about power being the last thing to go proved once again.
    It's great to see the old guy come through once in a while, especially since everyone was laughing their asses off at Foreman when he announced he was making a comeback.
    Master, it's too bad you didn't enjoy the fight, it was classic boxing at it's best.
