George foreman also used to put the jab out there more or less just to block your vision and then throw a hard right theat would ko his oponant. But anyways yes yes he could knock you out with any hand.
      People who had been hit by that jab called it the hardest jab in history. Scott Ledoux said he was basically KO'd by it.

          If George Foreman wasnt a power puncher than no one was.
          And your post is full of contridictions.
          In my opinion, he is the most powerful HW of all time.
          He could knock you clean out with either hand at any point.
          (Im talking about prime foreman)

              He has, he's just a strange boxing forum "character" that starts countless threads regarding fighters' (mainly tyson) power, or tyson's footwork.

                I never said it want it a good jab. It is probably rated number 2 under sonny liston for most powerfull jab in heavy weight history.

                  I was talking about how he changed in his later career.....Me and you have differant interpretations on the term power puncher. George foreman just lobed punches at you and id call him a strong puncher. Id concider a guy like say rocky marciano a power puncher. Do you get what i mean?

                    No.

                    Power puncher only means one thing.
