    Cus D'amato claimed guys with my skeleton structure (Hearns) punch the hardest. Was he right?

    Slim, lanky, Tommy hearns type (although I'm actually bigger than Tommy in terms of my back and shoulders I think). Hearns is 185, I:m. 186.

    Would you say since that time Cus was right?

    Is it really thT common as he says for guys with my structure to punch the hardest?

    My form is amateurish, but so is most of todays boxers, so ignore that. Just stick to power.

    The other types would be Mike Tyson, Tank, and a third type being FRANK Bruno, Wladimir Klitchko.

          What the hell as these videos?

          You're not saying you have Hearns frame do you??

          To answer your question =---> I used to spar a guy with Hearns frame that fought pro 1-2 classes under me. I think I got the better of him once out of six, he had 10 years of experience over me though so.

          I can't say if it was his frame or not, what I can say he was a master at the craft. Perfect form, perfect punches, perfect snap, great range, had a variety of excellent trainers. When he got on the bag people stopped and watched.

            Holyfield fought Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Valuev, Mercer, Foreman, etc. He said without hesitation Big George hit the hardest.

              With literally 3 seconds of footage filmed behind a heavy bag, you are most certainly the next coming of Tommy Hearns.

                It's a lot more than skeleton structure. But if you're long and rangy and are able to use your physical dimensions well to transfer power you'll probably be able to hit hard enough

                    ​​​​​No he said Foreman threw the hardest punch he ever felt.

                    He never said who threw the hardest average punch.

                    Also, he claims with Larry King that Tyson never connected with him. Which is a lie. The very first punch connected lol.
