    I was watching the foreman fight, where he became the oldest heavyweight champion.

    Particularly the punch that scored the KO, didn't look very hard at all.

    So it made me think. Who is the hardest puncher, where his punches don't look powerful, but they obviously are.

    Other examples -
    Chavez jr - punches look bad but i think have some pop.
    Manny Pac - Especially against mosley, looked quick, but not as hard as they apparently were.

    Malignaggi.And on a slightly more serious note,I saw Oscar put people down with some punches that looked fairly light.

    Old Foreman was the first guy I thought of too, the punch that KO'd Moorer looked like it wouldn't of knocked the skin off of a pudding.

    Makes you wonder how hard Young George could really hit.

    Foreman hurt Moorer prior to the knockdown, the actual punch that put Moorers lights out was just an extension of the punch that set it all in motion.

    There are gifs out there of old Foreman knocking the sweat off Morrisons back, someone who has it should post it in here, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Ike Williams was small in stature, but with the greatest right hand in Lightweight history.

    Kelly Pavlik's punches look like there thrown with zero conviction and speed, but obviously generates very good power.

    Pavlik was a really good example. (Miranda and Taylor fights are perfect to see that)
