Wonder how hard Toney was hitting Will Smith in Ali

[2501]

Those were some real looking shots at time.

[KESSLER]

I've heard they were real. I've heard that, he hit him as hard as he could without Will taking any damage.. So from what I understand, those shots are real.

[ippo]

I doubt it if toney hit him hard will would be koed.

Will Smith isn't a boxer though. I doubt Toney hit him as hard as he could. Unless you train to box you're not used to getting hit as hard as you're going to get hit even in the average sparring session by a good professional.

Yeah those are easily the best boxing scenes in any movie. They were on point with everything.

Toney usually goes pretty much all out during sparring sessions. I'm sure Will Smith felt some of those shots.

Not as hard as Shavers hit Sylvester Stallone though.
Stallone asked Shavers to hit him with full power, Stallone got hit so hard he puked and Shavers wasn't invited back.

Damn, never heard of that.
Who the **** would want to get hit full force by Shavers?
It must have been the drugs. ****ing SHAVERS?

Stallone: The next guy who came in – and this was idiotic on my behalf – was a fellow named Ernie Shavers. Ernie Shavers was sitting in the dressing room, and I saw him taping his hands, and he has a very high voice, and he goes, “Thank you, Mr. Stallone, for this opportunity. We’ll get in there and spar a little bit.” He was very cordial, and he had this really high voice. But I watched him tape his hands with air conditioning duct tape, and I’m going, “Oh my God.” So he gets in the ring, and I’ll never forget this, he hits me on the shoulder so hard that I capsize, go against the ropes, fall down to the ground, and I started to almost laugh hysterically, like when you hit your shin against a pipe. I never felt … I said, “Was there something in your glove?” Then his manager pulls me aside, and said, “Seriously, they don’t know how to pull their punches.” I said, “But he’s not even trying hard!” He said, “Oh, we have trouble in the gym because he actually breaks guys’ jaws off the hinges, that’s how hard he hits.” So I said, “He’s out.”

So I got a pansy like Mr. T. (Laughs) He was a vacation compared to this. And then I tried one more time, and I got in the ring with Roberto Duran. He stood in one spot, to prove a point, and every time I threw a punch, he would slip and **** me, and **** me, to the body, that the next day my arms were green and purple. I looked like bad cheese.

From an interview with Stallone. He seemingly had some bad experiences with Duran too.

they were wearing MASSIVE gloves, so its possible that they hit eachother really hard without doing much damage.

Those gloves were laughably big
