I'd be crapping my pants if I was across the ring from George Foreman. I'm sure there must be this fear in your mind that the hardest puncher you faced before Foreman felt like a mule kick. And they tell you Foreman made that mule kick feel like a pillow. That anticipation of finally finding out the upper limits of a hard punch must be terrifying. Not sure if you can take it because you've never had to so you truly don't know until it happens. But then again. I'm not a boxer.

Boy, was I wide awake by the third round. One of the amazing, great sport moments I watched live. My dad always talked about Ali-Foreman. This match may have been comparable in terms of the perceived underdog showing a fearless heart. And Evander's heart is one of the biggest in all sports, all time.

Because people only look at weight classes and they only look at the big shots and the big hits. They don't understand what goes into boxing, the smarts and the technical aspects of it evander holyfield literally broke it down beautifully. He knew George Foreman 's game and he knew if George Foreman got a good shot on him. It was over but what people tend to forget about evander holyfield is that he was one of the most agile boxers in history. His game is similar to Floyd Mayweather's game. He's going to catch you off and hit you. He's going to continue to move his head, his body, his shoulders in order to get you to show your hand

He mostly threw shorter, more controlled punches when he was older, to conserve energy and protect himself from counterpunches. Against the top boxers anyway. But when he let fly with those wild swinging and wide punches, he looked like he could kill someone.

Credit to him as a young champ for dealing with that. That was a tough nasty fight against a veteran that knew everything there was to know and clearly was dangerous. George was a different man inside and out.

Tyson was extremely explosive, but the weight of Foreman's punches is on another level. Mike was like hitting you with a brick, but George was like somebody taking a 30 pound sledgehammer, getting a good windup and smashing you in the face. I am quicker with the brick, but boy oh boy, let me connect with that sledgehammer and it's a different world

@ericdynes9950 Ron Lyle said out of his own mouth Earnie shavers hit harder than foreman but it's a different type of punch foreman is heavy and his is a crunch punch but everyone who fought shavers and foreman all said shavers hit harder than foreman Earnie Shavers challenged George Foreman and challenged him in 1995 when foreman was champion and there's a interview of it on KZbin though Foreman never wanted to fight Earnie Shavers though he watched him lose before but he has that crunch punch that when you fight earnie shavers after the fight you start talking like holyfield in this video for the rest of your life
