Of course you're right. There's no technique behind power, only size. 
You can't tell how hard someone is hitting by looking at their load, trajectory, or impact, only the size of their massive glorious muscles.
I think you've fetish more than a viable boxing theory. Big Man doesn't utilize size the same way the Small Bomb does. George doesn't even know how to throw a punch utilizing his full mass.
Ever seen George stumble because he missed like Marciano? Exactly, Foreman doesn't put enough behind it to launch himself....it might be hard for you to accept but 175 lbs of full body punching hits harder than 260 lbs of hip torque. Place that sort of power on a fighter with the fist the size of Marciano and you get a fighter who is more likely that not going to knock you out so hard he break bones and leaves you permanently damaged causing you to retire with in your next five fights.
How about Ali using LaStarza's technique against George because he knew George couldn't break his elbows like Marciano did Roland's and Moore's?
Do you believe Ali and other HWs from the Golden Era had magic bone structure incapable of breaking? Thicker bones despite that training having died off ironically in the fifties? Of course they didn't.
It doesn't matter if you weight 265, 165, or 65, 1k ft-lbs is beyond the limit of human capacity to endure trauma. It's like saying there's a big enough and strong enough to take a 9mm....no, there isn't. If George could throw that hard he would have and he'd have stats that reflect it. Like breaking bones and forcing retirements. Those don't go to George, they go to Marciano. The hardest hitting HW of all time.
