[SNVDoublePunch!]

As a matter of fact, I think the existence of this thread is a good indication that he is underrated if anything.

I think if anything its a good indication that he is rated exactly where he should be.

are you saying that those assumptions are not correct?

yes im saying those assumptions arent correct.he was the hardest hitting heavy of the 70's for sure but there have been plenty of bigger punchers since george

if joe took everything george had,he mightve made it a decent fight.fact is,alot of those punches george landed to seemed to be glancing blows

none of those punches was "glancing-blows" like you try to insinuate, they all landed Flush starting with a devastating uppercut which nearly tore Joe`s head off, there was foul punches to the back of Frazier`s head and there was a right uppercut which lifted Frazier off the floor such was the power of Foremans punches, Legendary boxing reporters like Gil Clancy, Norman Mailer & George Plimton all claimed that those punches was the hardest punches ever in a boxing ring, Legendary IBHOF referee Arthur Mercante said Foreman was the hardest puncher he had ever seen, he also said that as he stopped the fight "Frazier was up and ready to go" which is an unbelievable testement to Joe Frazier... but i suppose to you they are all talking bull**** coz you know different yeah.

these guys have to be trolls....from what i saw in the Foreman fights....Frazier had an iron chin an he did look ready when they stopped the fight.....those punches he took would have killed many men

Holmes out for the 10 count vs Tyson
Lewis out for the 10 count vs Rahman

Actually Holmes wasn't counted out: The ref waived the fight off at the 3rd knockdown without giving a count.

George foreman-

Often thought of as the most powerful puncher in the history of the sport
, Foreman could easily break men’s bones with his punches. Once he hit his stride in the early 1970s, he developed the bad habit of not fearing his opponents, and thus only training
his power, not his endurance. When he took down Frazier in only two rounds, the world figured that he would go on to the end undefeated, since no one was tougher than Frazier.

foreman could dent a ball of silly putty with his punch.

while a real punchers fist would bounce off.

Sucessfull puncher? yes. Hardest? not even top 10.

Im curious what 10 heavyweight you have punching harder than George, and why?
