I've seen it.

    Scrappy Diggs,
    I've only been here a month, but you are BY FAR the most entertaining and super fuuniest writer I ever read. Not just on some forum either. Anywhere.
    You have a God given talent for writing funny stuff. What's more, you also KNOW your stuff.
    When I read the now famous "he would punch him in the chest and his shoulders would touch", my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. But I almost passed out laughing with the "Popeye spinached up punch" gem. Totally priceless!!!
    Keep up the great work!
    Haha, thanks bro.

      Hey i dont't complety agree with what you said. foreman didn't actually lift anyone off the floor with a punch people jumped from the power of his punches and got thrown around the ring by them. his body punches looked akin to being hit round the ribs with a padded sledge hammer!

      foreman did put his body inot alot of his punches he just did it in a different way, a sloppy way perhaps but undoubtably effective!

      Lastly, Yaman for some reason has never liked foreman. i couldn't tell you the reason for his bias and chances are he couldn't either!


      today he has streched his plausibility by comparing peters power to foremans!!!!

        Many fighters have lifted up their opponents with a punch, not just Foreman. I saw Louis do it, Tyson, Frazier, and others.

          You don't have to read it, if you can't handle it duddy I don't see any bias in my posts regarding Foreman. He's simply overrated and there has to be somebody bringing in the truth. Every single fighter has people like me. Foreman didn't seem to have any, did you notice?

          As for lifting a guy with a punch, it's still interesting and i wanna see some more opinions about this.

            well of course you wouldn't see YOUR bias.

            what surprises me is that you otherwise seem to have a very good knowledge of boxing.
            i agree foreman is overrated by alot of people who have only seen a few of his early fights but the same is also true of tyson!

              Thank you.

              Its happened man. Foreman has done it. It doesn't look like a Harduken punch but its still feet being lifted off the canvas from impact.

              Here is a clear ****in cut example. In super slow motion for the seeing impaired.



              Or in full speed for the slow motion impaired

                This is Joe Louis vs. Tony Galento. Watch in the secong round, where Joe throws an overhand right, and then a left uppercut, and Galento goes up in the air.

                  George may have had the most devastating punch in heavyweight history but it would hardly be enough to phase this superior specimen.
                  THE Greatest post i have EVER read!!!!
                  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
                  And I agree Foreman woulda MANGLED ALL those old timers Johnson, Corbett, Jefferies the lot of them!
