You got that right! My dad is similar to big George in build, the heavy, ham-hock hands, and I got him to spar with me a couple of times. Even going light, his grazes knocked me back. I can't even imagine being in the ring with Foreman, who has to be one of the most impactful punchers in HW history.

Anyone remember which HBO fight had the pre-fight video with Foreman punching trees? I remember that was scary - it looked like he had a shot to KO the tree in two.
