    Foreman had thudding power. He was never ever an electric puncher. He hit Ron Lyle repeatedly before Kyle went crashing. What a load of Revisionist rubbish these "trainers" and pundits pull out of their a##es in order to provide content and sound bites.

    The greatest punchers in the sport's history were guys like Julian Jackson and Edwin Valero ~ when they nailed you, you went down like you were electrocuted and seldom got up.

      No way would the Foreman of the '70s get beaten by Tommy Morrison or Shannon Briggs

      Also, I'd say that Rocky Marciano's hook on Jersey Joe Walcott is the best punch ever thrown, but the shot Foreman hit Moorer with is up there.

        briggs fight was a robbery but old foreman was not that good. his only notable win was moorer. he had a bunch of good wins in his early career

              The latter part.
              He was supposed to dominate in his prime.

                It is hard to dominate if you face one of the best boxers ever.

                  Like I said, he was a slugger with iron chin. He has two nice careers actually.

                  An entertaining guy, but not very skilled. Usyk would beat all guys like Lyle, Foreman and he would make it easy.

                    He was considered one of them.
                    I found it hard to believe he was the underdog vs Frazier 1
                    While the favorite vs Ali.
                    I think Joe was the only guy BG was not the fave to win.
