Rigondeux does the same thing but slowly. He just throws his arm out there, not trying to cause damage just purely for measure and as a faint. Pretty much follows them with it, and shoots the missle behind it. Pac does it to initiate, Rigo to draw in. But same type imo

For his physique and style maybe. If you compare it to some other great heavyweights it wasn't much.

I also loved Tommy Hearns & Larry Holmes fast & hard snappy straight lefts. But, as we all know there have been so many great ones!

It was just as good and devastating when he was a young man, he just didn't use it as much

What fights did he use it when he was young? I sure don't recall seeing it, offhand...

Check out the Chuvalo fight. Foreman was rocking him with a jab.

I was about to say that too, Scott. Foreman also showed a very strong and effective jab against Ken Norton. Watching that fight, Foreman was not nearly as one dimensional as many people perceive him to be during that time.
