I think Big George is the hardest hitter but, iron mike is the fastest of the hard hitters
Sanjay Nahar What makes Mike the hardest hitter
My Makaveli 777 he said Tyson is the "fastest" among the hard hitters.
Sanjay Nahar dunno....tyson is the only boxer I know of to make someone refuse to fight after one punch...
Chaos Engine so true lol, virtually all of his opponents post fight admitted that he was the hardest hitter they’ve ever faced. Iron mike in his prime is arguably the best heavy weight ever. Dude was knocking out adults at 15 years old.
Iron Mountain but they were mostly bums
The fact that a 42 year old George Foreman could shake a fighter in his prime like Holyfield, tells you how dangerous a fighter George was in his 20's.
Yo, this is actually true. Prime George is just way different from a 42 year old George. But George still even got some power even though his old.
Absolutely!
42 year old Foreman was more dangerous than 20 years old Foreman, he had the power and the experience
42 is not old
If the young George had the brain of the old George. MY GOD WHAT A SCARY FIGHTER HE WOULD HAVE BEEN .
“If someone tells you ‘you alright’ ...you might not be alright.”
Great line.
I don't get it 🤷♂️
That means that if someone ask you if you alright its obviously because he see that you're shake. So you might not be alright
Classic.
@@marioss2167 I think what he said was 'when someone tells you you're alright real quick, you may not be alright'. It was because his corner was quick to tell him he was alright without actually checking to see if he was alright. Holyfield's not stupid he knew they'd just tell him whatever so he'd continue. He's an interesting to guy to listen to for sure.
@@marioss2167 because you shouldn’t have to ask if you’re alright. If you have to ask, it’s because you’re hurting.
He should have said, “Foreman punched harder but Tyson’s had more bite.” Then just grinned and walked away.
That's Holyfield for you
that would have been a gr8 answer 😉
Don’t think he’s that clever man
Harvey Dodd Yes, cool and funny answer, Holyfield is not known for his natural wit and charm, but you at least had 3 years to think about it.
@@mypasswordisredcarrot Nah man, Holyfield's the type of guy who'd to explain his entire life experiences when you just asked him if it was okay to borrow the pepper shaker on his restuarant table.
Pretty common for people of his age.
Foreman also gave Holyfeild a harder fight than a 90s Tyson did. Foreman was levels above a large majority of the fighters in the 90s and he was in his 40 then. he also never got dropped a single time in his 2nd career. Absolutely incredible chin.
Boxers from the 70’s are a different breed and maybe even tougher Muhammad Ali dropped and stopped a prime foreman while the 90’s boxers never dropped foreman
@@ez1582 is this a joke? Ali was never a big hitter. He just let an inexperienced George Foreman punch himself out.
@@coveyssteve big george wasn’t inexperienced lmao he was 40-0.
@@coveyssteve That's part of Ali's legend. He won the mental game against George, when everyone was expecting him to lose big time.
@@truebeliever786 He certainly out-strategized a 25-year-old George Foreman. But the idea that he "dropped and stopped" young George, as mentioned above, implies that Ali was a big puncher, which he never was.
I liked Holyfield back then. But if he fought George in George's Prime, i would think George would win.
@Thomas Florio foreman was better when he got older. Power is the last thing to go and Foreman had always been slow but he was wilder when he was younger thats why ali was able to rope a dope him.
Prime holyfield would fuck young george worse than Ali and Jimmy young.
@@realitybites629 Holyfield was not the type of boxer who would strike fear in anyone, he wasn't known for KO's, so no fighter truly feared him. His main offense was his flurry of combinations. Evander is famous for his excellent conditioning however, and his ability to absorb punishment is second to none, plus a calm yet fearless mentality. Had prime Holyfield fought prime Foreman, it would likely go the distance, with Foreman winning by unanimous decision.
George would have destroyed him in his prime....
That would have been a good fight because the young Forman couldn’t box that well & was simply a slugger. Holyfield had brains, footwork & combos to make that fight *intersting*.
Old man george was better cuz not only could he hit, he could go the whole distance
Just think.. George was 43-44 roughly when they fought.. and he lasted 12 rounds and as the great man himself said.. he had never been hit like that before.. just imagine how a prime foreman would of done in that generation. food for thought.
Had George been much better I beleieve we would know about it, forman in his 20s vs whoever. Im sayin I dont think he lost much thru the years thats all , I dont6 think he was totally mind blowing exceptional above all others or anything, hes always been good.
Now everyone appreciate the Greatest Ali.. What a fighter!
Plus Holyfield was roid'd out of his mind.
"I've never been hit like that before"
That answers the question.
he clearly said i wouldnt say he hits harder then tyson that answers your quiestion just because he said george foreman has a good punch dont mean he punches harder then mike in his prime your trippin
Mike OVERRATED. Who did he ever beat? Bums.
I love Mike Tyson he's my favorite boxer of all time but Big George Foreman was a true heavyweight champion that was a monster inside the ring the the heaviest punch in the game only one man ever got the ko finish on him that's Ali so that's says alot nd he fought real champions nd better fighters at the time when boxing didn't have alot of rules with great fighter Tyson didn't real fight anyone till his ending career but was a animal but George was a beast
@bobwatters thats your opinion , you dont know shit who are u he said mike hits harder end of , we all know mike tyson hits harder actually loool
@@littlemamba7882 your a bit of a Tyson Fanboy
So basically: "I wouldn't say that Foreman hit harder than Tyson, I'd say he hit harder than anybody"
In 89 foreman made qawi quit in 7th rd yet only 3 years earlier young holyfield was in a 15 rd death match with qawi....I think evander did roids cuz he was a lot bigger in 90s ....George was a fkg big diesel truck , what a legend
Tyson of the 80s dont rely on one punch, he was a combination puncher with knockout power in both hands.
@@realitybites629 who would u take 1973 foreman or 1987 Tyson? Cus told Tyson that small heavyweights with short arms would get destroyed by gf
@@leoderosia9279 i dont really dwell on what ifs but if you really want, i would say the fight would be simillar to razor ruddock. Ruddock had a similar style and build as foreman, they shove opponents and throw powerful looping punches from midrange..
I would pick tyson by decision. Mike has an iron chin, ruddock hit him.with his best punch which was the smashing left uppercut/hook amd mike never went down.
80s boxer like razor ruddock and tony tucker are WAY underrated.
Big name fighters avoided to fight those 2 in their primes, Tyson went to war with those 2
@@realitybites629 I do not think Tyson had the heart to go 12 or 15 rds with foreman, Ali or Frazier so he would have to get them early...George had a big height and reach advantage over Tyson. Tyson was not willing to risk his life or brain to win, Ali and Frasier were esp vs each other. ...as a Celtic fan I heard Kevin McHale talk about will over skill when u are down 9 in 3q, I think same gos for boxing too. Foreman would stand their and slug for 12 rds , it seems like after prison Mike did not want to do that and did not really have to in his prime....they did not want to face each other but I have no doubt george would've for 50m. Ali fought way too long and it is a damn shame that he had brain damage even in 70s....Tyson has a little now but nothing like Ali. Personally I think seeing Ali with brain damage had a big influence on Tyson not caring about boxing after buster Douglas fight.

@@lowestcommonDenomanator Nah they're talking about whether or not Cus really said that.
Jusrt went back and watched the Holyfield v Foreman highlights and what Holyfield says here is absolutely right. Foreman caught him flush in round 7 and for a time Holyfield's footwork completely disappeared - he just stood there. His feet literally froze up just as he says. Amazing.
Thats right, round 7 and you hear him nowadays speaking impaired, because of that, everyone who stood longer against foreman ended badly including Ali.
@@azteka6103Ali wasn't even really hit in his head, you don't know what you are talking about. His autopsy said his lungs were black, Parkinson's is also genetic. He lost his voice so to training on airport runways which blackened his lungs.
Holy was diplomatic, but he basically said George was the harder hitter.
No, he said: "I would *not* say he was a harder puncher than Mike Tyson". You cant possibly conclude with the oppsite of what he is saying. If there is a conclution, he actually says *Foreman is not a harder puncher than Tyson*
How hard can it be....

All true because he was a light heavy trying to fight heavyweights. Makes my top 25 heavyweights of all time though.

I remember when Holyfield got hit by Big George. He did a 360 in the ring but he didn't go down. But George hit him so hard that it spun him completely around. I wouldn't want to get hit by Mike Tyson or George Foreman.
Foreman could KNOCK! 👊
I know exactly the moment you're talking about. Holyfield wasn't hit clean, or I guarantee he would have gone down. What happened there is, George would often vary the force behind is punches, both to conserve energy and to lull opponents into being defensively complacent, hoping at some point they'll get lax and vary the tightness of their defense.
Foreman saw a opening and went in with a full force punch, but either his timing was off, wasn't fast enough, or just misjudged the opportunity and Holyfield parried it with a "chicken wing" kind of block. But because Foreman put everything he had on that one it spun Holy clean around when it hit him just above the elbow.
That's the kind of punch that if delivered bare knuckle might either break Foreman's hand or render Holyfield's arm useless.
@@hadronoftheseus8829 Holyfield went into this fight super light, you can see George unable to get his timing for his 1-2, because Holyfield's head kept snapping back too far.
@@hadronoftheseus8829 Probably the latter, render Holyfield's arm useless.
George’s fingers were like freaking 🍌‘a
He was such a natural big boned brute in his time.
Evander Holyfield said he thought he was going to die in the ring against foreman and he had to ask the corner if all his teeth was knocked out.

Is there a translation of this video?
lmaooo
He has talked like that since he was 17. Easy to understand when you get used to him.
In his prime, Foreman would send fighters into another dimension.
Tyson had the quickness with punching power but you are talking Foreman at 6'4 a bigger body vs. 5'10 Tyson imagine Tyson being 6'4 frame with that devastating quickness, go back and watch how quick Tyson was with those punches, wow
Tyson was stronger
If Tyson could be 6.4 he wouldn't be so fast.
Nah Tyson's shortness is what gave him that explosiveness in both his strength and his speed. He would have to pack on a lot more muscle in a 6'4 frame to equal what he could do in his 5'10 frame and even then he might still not be as agile. Mike was like a shotgun slug, once he started going, there was no stopping him unless you were hard as nails and you'd still get fucked up in the process.
@@johnsean122 Tyson haters are just as bad, boy would whoop your ass

Oldest to become Lineal champion 45 and retained it for 3 years til the age of 48. George Foreman is a legend
I love Evander growing up seeing him fight at cruiser and light heavyweight he was amazing then did at heavy weight a true warrior
I love The Holy Man! Nice video, good to hear one of the best warriors ever talk off the clock. God Bless
Holyfield has the biggest heart in boxing ever for me.
Stormin Boy
Joe Frazier
If Holyfield had the biggest heart - then Smokin Joe had the steeliest set of balls!
Nah, the biggest heart - the most courage - that was Smokin' Joe Frazier. Small heavyweight with the heart of a lion.

Also, 3 of Foreman's losses came well into his 40s.
Foreman and Shaver at heavyweight were it, no one else even comes close. Except maybe Ron Lyle, everybody said he had murderous power too. Tyson wasn't nearly that kind of natural power puncher, he busted his ass in the gym and developed the style he did to stop guys. He was all speed, leverage, timing, and combination punches. Absolute machine in his prime though Tyson, just a stud athlete and physical specimen. That counter right cross he'd time guys moving into and the vicious body shot and uppercut combos were something else too!
What about Marciano? He almost killed Vingo in the ring.
Tyson didn't develop himself in gym he was too powerful naturally if you don't know about something then without taking knowledge don't say anything 💩
@@Hello_combat_sports_fans 🙄 Tyson was a great fighter, a freak athlete, and a damn strong guy who certainly hit harder than most. No one debates that at all. What he wasn't was a guy with natural monstrous all time great punching power, especially with one shot. The film of his in-ring career speaks for itself. It isn't a knock on him or his accomplishments at all to say he didn't punch like Foreman, Shavers, or Lyle, it's objective fact. Hell, Wilder punches harder too, he's nowhere near the fighter or technical boxer Tyson was but he hits harder than him all damn day! If you are seriously going to argue otherwise I don't have the time or interest to engage further, because frankly speaking you are being a delusional dick riding fanboy. Again, Tyson is a truly great talent and one of the most culturally and historically significant fighters in the history of boxing in general and the heavyweight division in particular, but to act like he was an all time great puncher in terms purely of punching power is patently ridiculous. His game at his best was always about using his athleticism and more importantly footwork to cut off the ring and create an opportunity to hurt and/or stun the opponent with a punch they didn't see coming and preferably were moving into to boot and from there overwhelming and stopping them with relentless pressure and hard, fast, punching combinations. Just because he was a crazy explosive athlete and a ruthless finisher doesn't mean he was a top tier big puncher per se as well.
@@douglaspatrick868 i don't have time to read your this long comment tell me in short way

That was actually a really good question!.. Evander has taken some pretty hard punches over his career. Dude is tough!
George was simply a massive man. Arms like a JCB back acta. Remember Holyfield was not a natural Heavyweight. He simply wanted more, and reeped the rewards. A superb fighter with 100% discipline.

Really candid answers! Like it a lot!
The first Qawi fight was one for the ages.
why was it called Qawi fight?
Holyfield was not on roids yet with Qawi. Holyfield was never a heavyweight , he was heavey middleweight. But some point in his 20s he put on pure muscle mass and became a heavyweight. How is it possible for someone to grow muscles in their 20s, people dont grow after 19 yrs.
vik56in this is one of the most UA-camiest comments that I've ever seen
Michael Moorer was a fool to even give Big Slow George a chance after getting so far ahead on points. Even at that age Big George's power was the best in the division. Holyfield was smart he stayed away from George and got the W. No need to stroke the ego.
I don't think Moorer intentionally gave him a chance. Even at George's age, he still retained a solid chin. Moorer gave it all he had and ran out of steam, but he didn't realize til too late that he wasn't really damaging Foreman. By the last few rounds, Moorer looked extremely tired. I think Foreman's punches did a lot more damage than meets the eye.
Wow, way to Monday morning quarterback it.
Holyfield was like Frazier, a true warrior, didn't understand retreat, just keep going forward, keep attacking, fear no one, top guys
Holyfield was easier to hit and lacked Frazier's power, which has been forgotten over time. Frazier had tremendous power, which he carried through all 15 rounds. He and Holyfield had the same number of KOs, but Frazier got his 27 KOs in 37 fights, 5 of the fights being against Ali and Foreman, neither of which were ever KO'd, unless you count the Holmes TKO. He also floored Ali in the 14th round and Ali hardly ever got knocked down. Foreman and Ali were also the only ones to beat Frazier.
"a broken promise is like a child's pinwheel, you have to be yourself or at least within the confines"
I admire this mans heart and fight.
He didnt fight either one in his prime. That being said Tyson in his prime would knock ppl out throwing combinations. George foreman could knock u out with one punch whether u saw it coming or not. Tyson was not big boned. No such thing. His build is compact. Most of his power came from his hips. Thats why he seldom threw a straight right. In fact the right cross wasn't even in his famous # scheme. Where he assigned a # to a punch and Kevin Rooney would call out combinations.
Tyson didn't beat Holyfield at Amateur.
William Sullivan Tyson had one punch power all day
>Tyson was not big boned. No such thing.
No such thing as big-boned? Are you daft? All you have to do is look at the difference in people's wrist sizes to see that some people have much thicker bones than other people. I would like to know how it would even be possible for everyone to have identical bone thickness. That would be like the most amazing coincidence in the history of the universe. In reality there is no such thing as a body part which is the same size on everyone, obviously.
Hips and legs, plus he had short reach which was great for hooks and upper cuts. What made Tyson special was his defense, especially his slipping and bob and weaving. That combined with his crazy speed for a heavyweight and his explosive power (and aura of intimidation) is why hes among the greats. Best ever? Nah, but certainly a legend.
Um what? Tyson couldn't one punch. Are you crazy?
I was not surprised to hear him say Dwight Muhammed Qawi hit him the hardest. Many boxers have stated that Qawi punches like a mule kick.
he hit harder than shavers
He didn't say that.
Stupid fukk, you only root for him bc he's muslim.
George fought Qawi during his comeback....watch that

TAMIL TAMIL - and? Ali lost. Everybody loses one here or there. Tyson in his prime was the greatest heavyweight ever.
@@marcbrunengraber3507 in his prime he wasn’t the greatest, greatest is quite subjective to what each boxer has accomplished, if we’re talking about greatest accomplishments then Ali or Joe Louis takes it, maybe Ali since he does have the best resume if any hw boxer, fighting the best of the best and winning 90% of them, and maybe Louis because he literally had the longest reign as the champion.
My question is what accomplishment did Mike do? If you’re gonna say greatest KO’s, then no that would be Deontay Wilder, Shavers, Sonny Liston, or George Foreman.
I like Mike but he ain’t the greatest, he COULD of been the greatest but when we are talking about reality and not “coulda or woulda” then no he ain’t the greatest.
Idk how people think he could knock any boxer out when prior to Don King failed to permanently KO Tucker, Tillis, Green, and Bonecrusher.
I watched Evander beat Qawi( Braxton at the time) Qawi was just a smaller version of Tyson and that’s why I bet my life savings that he’d beat Tyson. Styles make fights. Thank you Evander. Holyfield is one of the greatest boxers of all time.
Dude Foreman was taking some vicious shots from Holyfield.. Foreman was built DIFFERENT!
Mike had that snap that put your lights out quick
I personally think Foreman was the harder hitter. That's alot of weight and torque being delivered through his fist. But Tyson combined speed AND power. That's why he was good with long combos.
Holyfield was a a beast in that Ring with the heart of a Lion
And the head of an anvil.
K9boxing heart of a lion,so then why did he hold iron Mike the 1st 3 rounds???
Michael Matthews Strategy!!! DID he win? Ok. You can't fight EVERYBODY the same.

That's a great short interview.
LOVE this Man .
In a Nutshell
Tyson = Cpt Falcon
George = Ganondorf
perfect comparison lol. Tyson had the speed and explosiveness for combinations while George had that slow but powerful 1 hit and you get sent flying ability.

Just imagine that mike Tyson have Forman height
tyson more explosive foreman heavier arm puncher
Marc Robertson yeah exactly.. When it comes to power between foreman vs Tyson, big George was physically stronger and have the heavier hands.. But mike was far quicker and explosive!!! Basically, they come from the same Galaxy, just different planets!
Haha brilliant your right;)
Mo Money are you for real mate anyone who is into boxing realises how good Tyson was. what planet are you from if you think only you realise this
lanzacash lol.. Yeah, my point exactly.. And what was the most scariest thing about facing Tyson was, At any given moment can be your time to go.. I mean, like literally!!!

Ear Ear.
Evanders headbutts were fuckin mean. He head butted Tyson so much, split his face, blood running into Tyson's face keeps head butting him time after time after time after time and hardly any points were taken away from holyfield for it. Two different fights same outcome and Tyson was pissed off and it showed when him pointing out to the ref the headbutts and it landed on "deaf ears".
I've never seen him headbutt intentionally, he just fought with his chin tucked low and sometimes when people came in they would bump heads. Tyson even said after the first fight that the headbutts weren't intentional. The second fight Holyfield was already dominating him early and Tyson just wanted to get the fuck out of there, the headbutt was just an excuse.
Tyson was washed up already in that fight. Holyfield wouldn't of had a chance vs Tyson in the 80's or even the post Douglas Tyson before he went to prison. The Tyson that KO'd Spinks wipes the floor with any version of Holyfield.
legend...

I didn’t understand a single word he said in the first 30 seconds
I love the RESPECT for BIG GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!
Holyfield had the tenacity and heart of a warrior! He fought and always gave his best! A true champion and one if the all time best!
He wasn't. He was ordinary. Look at his record. Riddick Bowe embarrassed him.
Legend!!
evander 'my momma' hollyfield
and we don't need all the swearing. It's a discussion not a swearing contest
Watch Foreman chopping away at the heavybag that even lifts the trainer's feet off of the floor, and watch Tyson banging quickly at the heavybag. The first hits with an axe, and the second hits with hands.
Love this guy
The hardest heavyweight one punch fighter was owned by a man name Ernie Shavers!
Nah, his name is Joe Louis.
Foreman rates Gerry Cooney and Ron Lyle also, as very heavy hitters.
Troll right?
smokinjoe he also says cleveland williams. to lanzacash, shavers lost a lot cuz hes the epitome of a glass cannon. no chin at all but man could he swat. probably as hard as foreman
yeah, Foreman rates Shazers, Cooney and Lyle and serious heavy hitters, but he holds a special place for liston's power also
Tyson overrated bullshit he's a legend
Tyson wasn't overrated. People just didn't understand his game. He didn't actually blow people away with raw power like Foreman did, although he did have plenty of power. No, with Tyson it was the whole package. At his best, he had incredible defense, perhaps only surpassed by Ali himself. Tyson would slip a punch, close the distance and unload a blistering fast combo with top shelf power and precision.
So while there were a number of people, like Foreman or Shavers, who hit harder than Tyson none of them combined that power with premium footwork, defense, handspeed, accuracy and aggression. Really, the only thing Tyson lacked was size but his short stature often worked to his advantage.
The reason Tyson went downhill so fast was twofold. His father figure, Cus D'Amato died and then Don King got in his head. King conviced him to fire Kevin Rooney, the guy who trained Tyson and kept his technical skills are their peak. Tyson started trying to fight like a Foreman or Shavers, thinking he could just overpower people. The second reason is that Tyson was a speed guy. As you age, speed is the first thing you lose. So, as Tyson lost his speed and elite skills over the course of a few years, he quickly became mortal.
Well hell then, throw Floyd in there with Prime Tyson.
joe louis such a well loved champion miss that era of people
Background noise rules supreme.
Holyfield is the only top heavyweight of that era who had the balls to go up against Big George. The others all avoided him. Tyson, Lewis, Bowe- all scared of the old man's power. Michael Moorer 'was the only other champ to fight him.
not sure if you count Morrison as a 'top heavyweight' of 'champ'', but Tommy did take on Big George
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, hit as hard as the Foreman of the 1970s. He had the speed and the timing, coupled with a sledgehammer JAB. People were made nearly comatose with a jab. Tyson would have fared no better than "Smokin' Joe."
Big George was over 40 then too. Holyfield wouldn't last 2 rounds against either one in their prime.
Tyson was locked up dumbass
AGREE
Holyfield has contradicted himself. In other videos, he said that George Foreman was definitely the hardest puncher he ever faced. Now, here, he is backtracking. And in a long-ago issue of GQ magazine, prior to Holyfield fighting Lewis, Holyfield (in the article) stated that Riddick Bowe was the hardest puncher he ever faced........And not long after Holyfield fought Foreman, he stated that Michael Dokes actually hit him harder than Foreman did (alluding to Dokes' speed enabling Dokes to hit Holyfield with faster, sharper punches)..........So, a lot of what he says is all over the place.
Thats what happens when you get punched in the head for so many years....Bibble babble doooty dittyfoo fuh
Yes, but for this video, they asked him who hit harder between Tyson and Foreman.
He's not contradicting himself, they asked him a specific question: Who hit harder, Foreman or Tyson? They didn't ask him about anyone else. On a side note, the poor guy took so many shots to the head he's starting to become incoherent. Sad.
wrinkleneckbass ...You're absolutely right! The Real Deal answered the question. He said George Foreman!!! So, Tyson fans, you all need to stop making excuses for Tyson and just pay attention.
No he's just saying Foreman hit him harder than anyone has. That implies that of Tyson could hit harder, he didn't get hit by that punch.
The Real Deal..always a class act. 🙂
Holyfield was and is my hero. No one trains so hard and long like him. And noone had such a long time being so successful like him! A fan from Hamburg Deutschland
big George obviously has a bigger punch.
Sean Crawford power vs power" foreman was physically stronger and have the heavier hands.. But mike is far quicker and more explosive!!! Power wise= they come from the same Galaxy.. Just different planets!
I have never seen it put so nicely. Well done.
The man is country take it easy on his intellect. He is from Georgia lol He's southern no doubt. I understand him just fine and I'm from Texas. 😂
Evander fought both of those monsters and beat them. Wow
You was my hero wicked fighter
headbutt steroids holyfield
holysteroidfreakishfoulingfraudulentfield.
Vancouver Nature tyson was on the juice aswell they all were back then
LOL Tyson got his ass kicked twice by this guy!!!! Holyfeild > Tyson
B4PH0M3T no he didn't. Tyson claims he couldn't remember anything past the sixth round in their first meeting due to headbutting, and bit Holyfield the second meeting after an early headbutt caused a serious cut. Holyfield was scared if anything and needed insurance. Cheater.
Tyson was the one who always ran in head first. He just ran up on a top heavyweight who wasn't scared or past his prime, and got dominated. Evander was the REAL DEAL!!!
Let's take into consideration that Foreman was 250-260 pounds monster vs 215-220 pounds Tyson. So yes, Foreman probably had the heaviest hand. Yet Tyson speed was out of this world in his prime. I think that proportionally Tyson punches was more powerful. Tyson with Foreman size would had been a Licensed Assassin. We should take into account that Holyfield had one of the best chin of all time.
It depend on how the punch landed. If its merely based on fight result, Bowe technically hardest hitter in Holyfield's career. He was stopped in the third fight and was knocked down in first fight.
Foreman and Holyfield went 12 round against someone like Stewart while Tyson knocked that guy out in a mere few secs.
Ali has the speed out of this world. Tyson is not even fast compared to ali. And George is the strongest boxer. he knock out fraizer, shaver lyle, norton etc. Yet he was knock out by a cerebral boxer- Ali. If Ali and tyson had meet the punch of tyson will not work because Ali is a boxer not a slugger like tyson and boxer usually wins.
Who told you Foreman was 250 or 260??? You have internet so you can check facts before you say something stupid. Foreman in his prime was 216-218lbs. Tyson usually 1 lbs heavier
dosdadio siapa Bad comparison. Ali met foreman in his very prime. 24 years of age Foreman was. Ali on the other hand wasn't the same Ali of 1966/1967. Tyson under a very guidance would given a match to Foreman for the simple reason that Foreman's defense was shocking. All the punches he swallowed early on against Frazier in 72 , Had it be Tyson he(Big George) would have been Knocked out within the first round.
dosdadio siapa And for your Information, Shavers and Foreman never fought. Foreman was scared of shavers biggg time.
George Foreman hit me one time and I've never talked right again
one of the very best
took on anybody
heart of lion
fearless
Holyfield wasn't know for slipping punches.. God Bless him.. All I heard was he lost 15 lbs trying to keep somebody off him.. SMDH..
