      Foreman was a much harder puncher than Holmes.

        I saw a video once of foreman training for a fight by cutting down trees with an axe. He cut down a tree about 2 1/2 feet in diameter in 7 swings.
        Post that video.

        I can't believe people say Foreman had 1 punch KO power. He had maybe a handful of 1 punch ko's and the rest are all beatdowns.

            Foreman by far. Holmes was not a true puncher.

                  I believe the Holmes jab atrributed to his power,keeping fighters at the end of that jab,let him catch people at the end of the right,in short full extention!!Everything Foreman threw hurt!!

                    Oh God.........What a ****** statement!

                    George at no1
                    Larry at no50

                    Holmes had the best left jab I've ever seen at H/W...
                    Foreman had the best KO power I've ever seen... Period

                      any chance you can post a link for the vid or post the vid?

                      btw foreman definently had the bigg punch - its like asking who has a better defense gatti or toney?

                      foreman didn't have concussive one punch power, like say mclellan or jackson but he was so unbelivably strong.

                      he could just batter his opponent into submission with his strengh and heavy hands. only liston and vitali klit are anyway near foremans level of strength
