    Sorry, but no.
    Foreman didnt lob punches, either.
    He is the epitomie of a power puncher.

      Foreman was very powerful with both but he was not a snappy one punch finisher like Joe Louis. He also needed a good deal of room to generate power, though fortunately for his success, he was so physically strong that he could shove most opponents around like ragdolls and create space for himself.

        Yeah that's right, he was lucky to be able to make space by pushin his opponents. If he wasn't so strong, things would have been diffirent for the Big ugly Bear. It's too bad that such an unskilled amateurish fighter was gifted with these physical abilities.

          Foreman threw some of the most beautifully tight casual looking uppercuts I can ever remember seeing. That one against Cooney was probably my favourite punch and knock out of all time.

                    Yes he could knock out with either hand! SO I guess he had power in both hands!
