    I never said it did and it obviously didn't.
    Im talking Prime Foreman and he delivered his power shots quicker, in combinations and in both hands which makes him a more powerful fighter than Tua.

    Magna said Tua hit harder than Foreman.
    He fought/sparred both, he'd know. (Neither does he have to defend his ego because he's anonymous so he most likely speaks the truth)
    That's what he said.

    You claim Foreman is more powerful than Tua, which is a totally different claim than saying Tua his best shot is better than Foreman his shot.

    You're attacking a claim by defending a totally different claim.
    You're a r-e-t-a-r-d

    Damn I'm always right

    You ***gots should know better than to challenge my stance

    But yeah power is overrated ... knowing how to use your power is what matters ... Bruno couldn't make use of his power when he had Lewis in trouble

    Why does Foreman always have to be the hardest puncher of all time? Why does it offend so many people to raise the possibility or assert that other big punchers might have hit harder than the legendary George Foreman? At some point people have to let go of their hero worship and accept the fact that over time legendary fighters are eventually going to be eclipsed in certain areas by more modern fighters. It's the nature of life.

    Is a real fight and a sparring session the same to you, do you know what the difference is? Did this Magna fellow stand bewteen Foreman and his destiny to regain the HW championship of the world in a sparring session? Was Foreman stalking him to unload one massive knockout blow to the chin in a sparring session? Do they wear huge gloves and headgear in a real fight?

    Holyfield said Foreman was the most poerfull and strongest fighter he ever faced. That was a slow single shot throwing Foreman.
    Holyfield went toe to toe with the biggest hitters in boxing history and didn't back down.
    He pushed Lewis and Tyson around and fought inside against Bowe.
    He fought extremely cautious against Foreman after tasting the power of his jab and fought on the backfoot for most of the fight, throwing combos when he had to. Holyfield never showed that caution before or after.
    Prime Foreman threw those shots loaded up and in combinations and is eminently more powerful than Tua.

    As was said earlier, it's possible that Tua carried similar power as Foreman did, but Foreman was the more dangerous puncher. I think Foreman likely had a bit more raw power than Tua did, but he used it more effectively and it's one of the reasons why Foreman is a top 10 ATG and Tua isn't.

    A lot of people view hardest puncher as best or most dangerous puncher, but there's a big, big difference.

    I agree Foreman was the overall better fighter. But if Tua and Foreman both walked up to a heavy bag and hit it with their best shot, I have no doubt that Tua would have hit just as hard and quite possibly harder than George Foreman (young or old George).
    Saying another guy might hit harder than Foreman in no way diminishes Foreman's ATG standing or accomplishments; it's simply comparing one of Foreman's strong points (his punching power) with that of other big hitters.
