    I think he had more punching power, in either hand.

    I highly doubt Mike did anything like that to a 150lb heavy bag.

      Probably, but that's not the point.

      He was a predator among prey considering guys weren't going to stand and trade with him in the first place. The times they did got to him, but then again look at who won the damn war outright. He's just a fighter to begin with....but when you give him that physical size and strength it's unfair.

      He's not a 6'4 220 average joe back then, he's more like 6'4 220 who is just a freak of nature with his low body fat percentage and muscle mass.

      You don't see guys that big that are a lean big. That's frightening.

        I don't think anybody is saying if Foreman fought like Tyson (style). What they are trying to say, including me, is that if Foreman had a trainer like Ray Arcel, George Benton, Emanuel Steward, etc. that could teach him proper boxing skills/technique/form, he would of been a killer. Not that he wasn't a killer, but ****, just imagine him being fixed up.
        People are comparing Tysons power to Foremans, but IMO thas near impossible because of their vastly different styles.

        Other people are suggesting that without his brute physical strength he wouldnt of been able to be so effective. Which is ******. That could be said about 90% of boxers, who develop their style around their natural physical abilities.

        Im not sure if anyone could change Foremans style to make him more effective. I know wat ur saying, but i tend to think if u change a fighter like Foreman he would lose somthing.
        Foreman was a natural monster in the ring. I just cant imagine him being honed into a better technitian or skilled boxer.

          thats exactly what foremans punches would do. tyson had a great uppercut but it wasnt as powerful as foreman's. it was sharper but not as powerful
