Comments Thread For: Johnathon Banks Q&A: Sparring Wladimir And Vitali, Foreman Hitting So Hard They Had To Put More Padding In The Gloves And The Intricacies Of Good Coaching

Man, everyone who has been in there with Foreman, all historian and everyone who saw him fight, like I did, We are all wrong.
Good to have you here to correct us all.

I never said he didn't hit very hard - i'm saying people like you like to mythologize these fighters and so suddenly Foreman's power becomes something more than it ever was in the ring. Many of his fights I have watched - he has had to hit people a lot to stop them

People keep using small HWs as examples of his power but even Frazier was way smaller and lighter than the already small Usyk and Moorer. His aggressive style was taylor-made to get stopped by Foreman. Styles make fights. Frazier put Ali down but Foreman couldn't and he unloaded everything on him

Like I said in another post, a lot of old fighters have said Shavers hit the hardest.

Exactly who did he have to hit "a lot" to stop?

He hit many people once or twice and that was all she wrote.
