Chuck Wepner says that Foreman hit him so hard, that a bone in his eye blew and was sticking half an inch out. I just watched a couple of rounds of Holyfield-Foreman. I noticed that Foreman was constantly pushing Holyfield back. Foreman was probably the fysically strongest heavyweight the world has ever seen. I am not talking about punching power. I am talking about fysical strength.
Indeed. In the Holyfield fight it sometimes seemed like Foreman didn't respect Holyfield's power at all. A prime Foreman might have manhandled Holyfield.
Again, a fighter picks someone that he beat as the person who hit him hardest. I believe Holyfield, but the trend is obvious .
Indeed. I have never seen anyone push a prime Holyfield back like that and walk through most of his punches. Foreman was in his forties, way past his prime but still a beast. He buckled Holyfield's knees with a jab in the second round.
I've never seen anyone tame Holyfield the way Lewis did. I think Lewis hit just as hard, if not harder than Foreman.
That was an old and washed up Holyfield. IMO Holy won the second fight though. Holyfield pressed the action in the second.
so in your mind, somehow, an old and washed up Holyfield managed to beat one of the greatest heavyweights in history?
Child support hit him the hardest. I remember on another occasion that he said Bowe hit him the hardest. Foreman hit Holyfield with some good shots though, body shots and jabs. Check out how hard this jab was and how far back it snapped Holyfield's head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG4Vaw_w8bc&#t=5m49s L isn't off point, Lewis hit really hard. I doubt he had the raw, "I'll throw a punch without much leverage but the clubbing effect will still fuck you up" Foreman-like power, but his right hand was powerful as hell. He hit Holyfield hard, hurting him in the 5th round of the first fight with body and head shots, and a monster uppercut in the rematch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3cK0W2j3lM&#t=6m55s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBU9sHGPELM&#t=2m52s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAQWEGSSpZ0&#t=3m32s
REED had the Pleasure of Doing a Brief Q & A w/Holyfield, when he Fought in Dallas Several Years Ago...REED Asked him the SAME Question... http://www.fightbeat.com/article_detail.php?AT=145 REED:mj:
Lewis might hit harder than Foreman. Foreman is possibly not the hardest puncher in history. He is physically the strongest heavyweight in history though. Lewis is not that strong. Foreman is much stronger than Lewis.
I am pretty certain that Riddick Bowe hit Holyfield harder (in the third fight) but Commander Vander just didn't feel it. He was too buy landing face first on the floor. Foreman never made Holyfield lift his knee up to try and protect himself either hahahahahahaha
Holyfield is at it again. The man is brain-damaged. He said in Boxing Monthly that both Klitschkos would pose fewer problems for him than....wait for it....David Haye.
