RIP George Foreman (1949-2025)

I remember him beating Michael Moore to get the championship back in the 90s. Love watching his legendary fights from the 70s.

Definitely one of the all time greats and hardest punchers ever.

I think he’s the heaviest puncher I can remember - a lot of people say Earnie Shavers, but for me it was Foreman. Scary dude.

Pound-for-pound, maybe peak Thomas Hearns at welterweight was the hardest puncher of them all.

You might be right, I think at that level all of these heavyweights had knockout power but with Foreman it seemed like any punch he threw had the potential to end a fight.

I always wish Foreman had a rematch with Ali, Foreman was a pretty young champion when they fought. With some more in-ring experience for Foreman, Ali would have definitely had his hands full!
